Brown had understood him, had laughed at him... Brown had understood him, had laughed at him secretly, but Brown ended by recommending him for corporalWithout realizing it, Brown had found himself dependent on Stanley, warmed by his admiration and respect, by his complete interest in everything Brown had to sayBrown had always thought, Stanley's brown-nosing me, and I'm on to him, yet when Croft had talked to him about making a corporal, Brown had been unable to think of anyone but StanleyThere were objections to all the others; he had forgotten the source of his contempt for some of the other men they were considering, but it had been originated by StanleyTo his surprise, he had found himself praising Stanley to Croft
Afterward, as Stanley grew accustomed to giving orders, the change became apparentHis voice developed authority, he began to bully the men who displeased him, and he
chanel cc necklace approached Brown with easy familiarityAgain, without ever thinking of it articulately, he knew that Brown could not help him any longer; he would remain a corporal until one of the sergeants was wounded or killedAt first he had continued to show deference to Brown, continued to agree with him, but he had become conscious of his hypocrisy, a little uncomfortable with itNow he noticed when Brown was obviously inaccurateHe began to state his own opinionsIn time he had begun to boast
Now Stanley exhaled leisurely, and repeated, "Yep, you're getting just like Roth Brown made no answer, and Stanley spat"I'll tell you something about that Roth," he saidHis speech had become declarative like Brown's"He really don't mean so bad, it's just he ain't got any gutsHe's the kind of guy that always ends up a failure 'cause he ain't willing to take chances
"Don't kid

"Naw, I don't mean that," Stanley said"You can see the way he was in civilian lifeHe wanted to get ahead just like you and me, but he didn't have the guts to stick to somethingYOU got to be a smart apple if you want to live big
"What the hell'd you ever do?" Brown asked
"I've taken my chances, and got away with them too"Yeah, fugged a dame when her husband was out
Stanley spat againIt was a habit he had assimilated from Croft"I'm going to tell you somethingJust after Ruthie and me got hitched, we had a chance to buy some furniture from a guy who was movin' out of the state, and it was one hell of a buy, only he wanted cashI didn't have it, and my old man didn't have it just thenFor about three hundred bucks we could get a whole
zucca spy fendi bag living room that must have been worth a thousand newYou know, you invite people over, it makes an impressionWhat do you think I did, folded my hands, and said it's a shame, and let the thing go? Hell, no, I didn'tI took the money from the garage I was working at
"What do ya mean ya took the money?"
"Oh, it wasn't so hard, if you watched the anglesI was the bookkeeper there and we were taking in a thousand dollars a day in repairsI just took the money out of the till, and I held over to the next day the Work Completed slips on three cars which had repairs totaling up to the three hundred bucksThose cars had gone out that afternoon, and I had to hold them over in the books so the receipts for that day on work completed and paid for wouldn't show a holeThen the next day I checked them out in the books and held over another three C's worth
"How

"For two whole weeks, how do ya like that? There was a couple of days when we only had a couple of cars being paid for, and I was sweating blood 'cause by the time I took out the three hundred there wasn't much leftOf course I carried over the receipts from the day before that I didn't credit, but there was so few cars it would have showed up kind of funny if anyone had looked at the books that day
"Well, how'd you get out of it?" Brown askedAfter we bought the furniture I took out a loan for three hundred with that as security, and then I just slipped the three hundred back in a couple of days, and paid off the loan in monthly paymentsBut I had the furniture dirt-cheapAnd maybe it didn't make some good impression on peopleI never woulda had it, if I didn't take the chance
"That was pretty good," Brown
