I do not hail Gorman's novels or his plays as great literature, though they are good. But some of his criticism is the finest thing of its kind that has been published in our time. But Gorman does not look at these matters as Mrs. Ascher does. I do not believe he ever wrote a line in his life without expecting to be paid for it.
There was a struggle a loud scream a heavy fall and silence. A minute later Mrs. Gorman, attracted by the noise, burst into the room. Cora was lying on the floor, and Alan, with white face and bloody hand, was drawing the fatal weapon from her breast. Mrs. Gorman's first act was to rush to the open window, and call for the police.
I felt that I owed Mrs. Ascher some frankness in return for my first insult to her intelligence. Besides, I was moved. I was, as I had not been for years, emotional. Tim Gorman's head gripped me in a curious way. "Good God, Woman," I said, "anything in the world but that! Wrap up that chorus girl of a Psyche in leaves if you like. Sprinkle rose petals over her or any other damned sentimentalism.
Find out who tore down your wire?" Laramie replied in even tones but his voice was hard: "I trailed them across the Crazy Woman. It was somebody from Doubleday's ranch." "They had a story at Stormy Gorman's you'd gone over there to blow Barb's head off." "Barb wasn't home." Hawk was conscious of the evasion. "Was Stormy's talk true?" he demanded curtly.
I shall awake them to a sense of their high destiny. I shall set the young men's feet marching, thousands and thousands of them. I shall fill the women's hearts with pride." Then, for the first and only time since I have known him, Gorman's patience gave way. I do not blame him. The thought of Mrs.
Anyhow it was one of his enemies, and that was sufficient, for Gorman's nature was of that brutal kind that he would risk his life any day in order to gratify his vengeance, and it signified little to him which of his enemies fell in his way, so long as it was one of them. Taking up a brick from the floor, he raised himself to his full height, and dashed it down on the head of the sleeping man.
Lawrence's 5th, and Clark's 11th Massachusetts, with Gorman's 1st Minnesota, all belonging to Franklin's Brigade together with Corcoran's 69th New York, of Sherman's Brigade, have been brought into line-of-battle, by the united efforts of Franklin, Averell, and other officers, at our centre, and with the remnants of two or three other regiments, are moving against the Enemy's centre, to support the attack of the Chasseurs-rallied and led forward again by Heintzelman upon the Rebel left, and that of the 38th New York upon the Rebel left centre, in another effort to recapture the abandoned batteries.
The next thing I mean to ask him is what he means by patriotism. I can understand quite easily what Irish patriotism meant ten years ago. Gorman's friends wanted my land, a definite, tangible thing. I wanted it myself. But now they have got the land, and yet Gorman goes on talking patriotism. It is not as if he had no sense of humour.
It must have been the novelty of the thing which brought people flocking to the hall I hired for the exhibition of Tim Gorman's new cinematograph. I was aware, in a vague way, that my invitations had been very generally accepted; but I made no list of my expected guests, and I did not for a moment suppose that half the people who said they were coming would actually arrive.
"That boy," she went on, "that passionate, brave, pure boy, he must not be dragged down, defiled. His soul " It was Tim Gorman's soul then, not the cash registers, which she was worrying about. Having seen her presentation of the boy's head, having it at that moment before my eyes, I understood what she meant.
