STEINMETZ AND HAITZ
Two New York merchants like these
are all it sometimes takes : wares
from Paris and London, fine carpets
from Turkey and Peru. Line the streets
with entry-shops; ladies and gents and
servants too.
-
'It is 1848 now, and 'we' are just getting
started.' They talk like that to one another;
'midst damask and silver - starting out
with scarves and ending up with cloaks.
-
'Master Henry feels he's due; keeps
saying he wants something better - to
head out west, to get away. I do what I,
but cannot get him to stay.'
