They invited him to join; and Adolph Zukor left the table violently in love with Lottie Kaufmann. i It was a slow wooing, for Adolph Zukor had many rivals; and uneventful on the surface. Morris Kohn and Herman Kaufmann thought for a long time that Adolph frequented their houses just to play cards with them. The shrewd Mrs. Kaufmann first suspected his deeper intentions.
