So there now, Madam Sanford Embury!" "Thank you, Alvord; you're clear, at least. Do you think I could persuade them to come over to Sanford's side?" "I think you could persuade the statue of Jupiter Ammon to climb down from his pedestal and take you to Coney Island, if you looked at him like that! But I also think that friend husband will not consent to your electioneering for him.
The courageous and upright action of Mayor Alvord in vetoing the inhuman and silly acts of the city supervisors, which, by-the-way, has made him one of the most popular men in California, for the moment shamed the demagogues and silenced the rowdies; but there are means of annoying the Chinese within the law, which are still used.
Leaving my wife and children admiring these birds and their rustic houses on the island, I went with Major Alvord to his offices, and saw the fine scientific appliances for carrying on agricultural experiments designed to extend the range of accurate and practical knowledge.
Alvord had wandered aimlessly into the woods, and, attracted by merry voices, had drawn sufficiently near to witness a scene that awakened within him indescribable pain and longing. He did not think of joining them. It was not a fear that he would be unwelcomed that kept him away; he knew the family too well to imagine that. A stronger restraint was upon him.
At present Alvord was working honestly and hard, getting such information as he could concerning who was who among the desperadoes, gathering data as to their movements.

"Sorry, ma'am," and the handsome face put on a mock penitence, "but I'm too far advanced in years to pull up now." "Nonsense! you're barely thirty! That's a young man." "Not nowadays.
Sorry!" The boy, who had no trouble in finding customers for his papers, picked up the one he had laid on Eunice's lap and made off. "Never mind, Auntie," she said, "we'll get another. It's too provoking but I haven't a cent, and I don't blame the boy. Now, find your purse or, never mind; here comes Alvord."
I don't care what killed him! He's dead, and no doctors can help that! Oh, Alvord, can't you make them let San alone?" "No, Eunice; it has to be. Keep quiet, dear. It can do no good for you to get all wrought up, and if you'd go and lie down " "For heaven's sake, stop telling me to go and lie down! If one more person says that to me I shall just perfectly fly!"
You know you are safe from even the lightest sentence and that though you are guilty yes, guilty of the murder of your husband, you will get off scot free, because" Fifi paused to give her last shot telling effect "because your counsel, Alvord Hendricks, is in love with you! He will manage it, and what he can't accomplish, Mason Elliott can!
