"I feel rather like walking, myself," he said. "Do you want a companion?" She turned to him with gratitude. "I should be glad of one," she said quickly. She was touched. She had not thought he could be so gentle.
But just about five minutes to ten, before the Stock Exchange opened, the news came in over the wire from our financial man on Broad Street: "The System has forced James Bruce, partner of Kerr Parker, the dead banker, to sell his railroad, steamship, and rubber holdings to it. On this condition it promises unlimited support to the market."
It was a pole of only medium thickness, allowing Kerr ample room to encircle it with his chained arms, even to sit on the edge of the platform when he should weary of his standing embrace.
