Stephen hesitated, uncertain whether to laugh, until he chanced to look at Virginia. She had pursed her lips. "I was very much surprised, sir," he said. "Humph!" grunted Mr. Whipple, "and what did you chink of that ruffian, Lincoln?" "He is the most remarkable man that I have ever met, sir," answered Stephen, with emphasis. "Humph!"

He perceived that the Judge was no nonentity in this new party. Mr. Whipple sat in his own room, and the delegates came and ranged themselves along the bed.
Whipple's smooth voice sounded in its most conciliatory tones: "We all know your generosity, Hyde. Let us hope that by next year Garwood will have learned from you the spirit of giving." Kenneth swung around and faced the instructor. "May I ask, sir, how much you gave?" "Me? Why ah I think the teachers are not required I should say expected to ah contribute," answered Mr. Whipple agitatedly.
The Judge did not see him, nor did he see the tearful face of a young girl leaning over the banisters above. Ice was on the stones.

When Whipple actually took the lead a great roar arose from thousands of throats.
"He used to be in the army, and fought in the Mexican War. He came here two months ago to be the President of this Fifth Street car line."
