That Ault would wreck the market, if he could and it was to his advantage, no one doubted; but still he had a quality that begot confidence. He kept his word. Though men might be shy of entering into a contract with Ault, they learned that what he said he would do he would do literally.
There seems to have been not the least suspicion in this household that the head of it was a pirate. It must be said that Mavick still looked upon Ault as an adventurer, one of those erratic beings who appear from time to time in the Street, upset everything, and then disappear.
If it wasn't for seeing so many sick people! I guess I'll write stories and things." "So would I," Philip confessed, "if I knew any." "Why, you make 'em up. Mamma says they are all made up.
