March does not think so badly of it as Mr. Burnamy does." "I doubt it. At any rate, I understood March quite differently." "She says that he thinks he behaved very nobly afterwards when Mr. Stoller wanted him to help him put a false complexion on it; that it was all the more difficult for him to do right then, because of his remorse for what he had done before."
Stoller took his toothpick out of his mouth and bowed; then he seemed to remember, and took off his hat. "You see Jews enough, here to make you feel at home?" he asked; and he added: "Well, we got some of 'em in Chicago, too, I guess. This young man" he twisted his head toward Burnamy "found you easy enough?" "It was very good of him to meet us," Mrs. March began. "We didn't expect "
"A living, I suppose. Some of the high-class weeklies feel the competition of the ten-cent monthlies. But 'Every Other Week' is about the best thing we've got in the literary way, and I guess it's holding its own." "Have to, to let the editor come to Carlsbad," Stoller said, with a return to the sourness of his earlier mood.
Some were grave and some were gay; one indignantly denounced; another affected an ironical bewilderment; the third simply had fun with the Hon. Jacob Stoller.
Had the disaster proved less than he had feared, and did he still want Burnamy's help in patching up the broken pieces; or did he really wish to do Burnamy justice to his friend? In any case March's duty was clear. "I think Burnamy was bound to look out for you; Mr. Stoller, and I am glad to know that he saw it in the same light."
Stoller; he merely said that they were at Pupp's together, and that he had got in a good day's work already; and since he would say no more, she contented herself with that.
Your choosing to stand by the consequences of Burnamy's wrong doesn't undo it. As I understand, you don't pardon it " Stoller gulped and did not answer at once. Then he said, "I stand by what I done. I'm not going to let him say I turned him down for doing what I told him to, because I hadn't the sense to know what I was about."
"Ah, yes: I didn't tell you. General Triscoe and his daughter had come on with Mrs. Adding and Rose. Kenby you remember Kenby, On the Norumbia? Kenby happened to be there, too; we were quite a family party; and Stoller got the general to drive out to the manoeuvres with him and his girls." Now that he was launched, March rather enjoyed letting himself go. He did not know what he should say to Mrs.
Stoller has made him believe that he's done wrong, and has worked upon him till he does believe it." "It proves nothing of the kind," said the general, recurring to the note. After reading it again, he looked keenly at her: "Am I to understand that you have given him the right to suppose you would want to know the worst or the best of him?"
The glory had not yet faded from the fact in Burnamy's mind. "Eighteen hundred. What did you get for your poem in March's book?" "That's a very trifling matter: fifteen dollars." "And your salary as private secretary to that man Stoller?" "Thirty dollars a week, and my expenses. But I wouldn't take that, General Triscoe," said Burnamy.
