She scented from afar the assignation house or the hotel. And though, from the mere fact of my not inviting her here, she could not doubt that I did not want to introduce her to my lodging, she came here deliberately.

He was the liaison between organized labor, which was conservative in the main, and the radical element, both in and out of the organization.
Vicky's real reason for indorsing Julia Kaye between us is because she believes her to be one of that small and select band that can hold a man on all his various sides, and she wants to avoid the probability of an absorbing and possibly tragic liaison like Parnell's, for instance which might interfere with, perhaps ruin, Jack's career.
