I am ready to pay you twenty thousand dollars the day that bill becomes a law." This time Jethro did not look at him. "P-pay me now," he said. "I will pay you the day the bill becomes a law. Then I shall know where I stand."
Now I understand this little, mean, reptile impulse of catering to the one whom you seek, this feeling that the parvenu must have felt, this sensation of the necessity of flattering, for which one blushes in the nights, for which one can't sleep and turns endlessly in warm cushions.
