“He was a bulky man with tremendous shoulders and short, thick legs. He looked as amiable as an enraged orangutan. But now, through a misjudgment of human nature, he had become what Marks called ‘deadwood.’He had been demoted to odd-job man with a social status no higher than the man with the dustpan and brush who runs behind circus horses ready to take care of trouble.At one time Joey could terrorize any debtor. He had a neat trick which really scared the crap out of people behind in their paym...ents. He would stand before them making a growling noise, then expand his muscles and the seams of his jacket would split. He kept a scared little tailor busy sewing the seams together again after he had given his demonstration. It was a terrifying performance and more often than not it produced immediate payment.

He was told to collect two thousand dollars from a Chinese cook who was late in his payments.MoreLess Read More Read Less
