"Torrance" Arthur said I thought you might be to the Water Street Law- "Oh related rences?" "No we're strangers here" Elsa said "Strangers? Really? And you want to sell your bed?" Ben stepped forward "No" he said "No they don't want to sell their bed But they're willin' to if they can get the right price" "How much do they want for it?" "Two hundred and llars" Ben said "Is it "No fifty do- all old?" One post is a reproduction it wasn't they'd be askin' four hundred dollars" If ARTHUR and Elsa had gasped when he'd mentioned the price but Mrs Wentworth never batted an eyelash Ben told me She just walked over to the bed and examined it in detail with the careful attention of an experienced connoisseur then she turned to Ben and said "You know I never haggle If you say it's worth two hundred and fifty Ill take it" "It's worth more than that" "if you count what it's said Ben costin' these two young folks to let it go You gee it's the first nice thing they've owned since they were married They found it themselves and they've worked on it themselves — worked hard — because it meant a lot to them It meant havin' somethin' that they could take pride in It meant the beginnin' of the kind of home they dreamed of when they came here to to if the bed means so them" "why are Mrs they selling they need Ben it?" y- "Need money?
