Robbie had even borrowed five grand from Hughes for sustenance. Otherwise, he’d have trouble making ends meet.

Hughes, puffing on a cigar, said, “If you’ve got nothing else, you might as well leave. Robbie ain’t gonna be back anytime soon. Look elsewhere, will you? I’ve got a modest business to run here.”
