Bascom was at the Speaker's desk, and Mr. Ridout receiving a messenger from the Honourable Hilary at the door. The Speaker, not without some difficulty, recognized Mr. Harper amidst what seemed the beginning of an exodus and Mr. Harper read his motion. Men halted in the aisles, and nudged other men to make them stop talking. Mr. Mr.
At least I was silent, though Bascom cuffed his horse and cursed him a good deal, notwithstanding the horse was behaving well enough. When I branched off homeward, Bascom said: "Keep the horse till morning. And you need not speak of this foolishness to the boys."
And don't you get me started on Bascom as you value your life. Maybe I'll swear a blue streak before I get through: not but what I suppose that even Bascom has his good points like a porcupine. But a little emery paper on Bascom's good points wouldn't hurt 'em very much. They're awful rusty." "Oh well! Money isn't all there is in life," soothed Maxwell, smiling.
Bascom was a philosopher, and did not disturb the great when their minds were revolving on national affairs and the welfare of humanity in general. Mr. Speaker Doby and Mr. Ridout got but abstract salutations also, and were correspondingly dismayed. That day, and for many days thereafter, Mr.
Vane unquestionably realized what he was doing, but was it not almost time to call in the two gentlemen and and come to some understanding? "Gentlemen," said the Honourable Hilary, apparently unmoved, "I have not seen Mr. Bascom or Mr. Botcher since the sixteenth day of August, and I do not intend to." Some clearing of throats followed this ominous declaration, and a painful silence.
How the Speaker got order; how the Honourable Brush Bascom declared that Mr. Crewe would be called upon to prove his statements; how Mr. Botcher regretted that a new member of such promise should go off at half-cock; how Mr. Ridout hinted that the new member might think he had an animus; how Mr. Terry of Lee and Mr.
Gray eyes were blazing, green eyes snapping. Two sets of white even teeth were bared. They looked like a couple of belligerent puppies. Another moment and they would have forgotten the sacred traditions of their class and flown at each other's hair. But Miss Bascom interposed.
There's a reason why they want this case hushed up, the way they've be'n actin'. I ain't lived in Mercer and Putnam County all my life for nothin'. Hain't I seen 'em run their dirty politics there under Brush Bascom for the last twenty-five years? There's no man has an office or a pass in that county but what Bascom gives it to him, and Bascom's the railrud tool."
General Doby creased a little in the middle, to signify that he was bowing. "I trust it will be in my power to reciprocate, Mr. Crewe," he replied. "We want to treat Mr. Crewe right," Mr. Bascom put in. "You have probably made a note of my requests," Mr. Crewe continued. "I should like to be on the Judiciary Committee, for one thing.
Crewe, "but I have thought since of two or three other conditions which might be benefited by legislation." "Well," said Mr. Bascom, kindly, "if you have any more I was going to suggest that you distribute 'em round among the boys. That's the way I do, and most folks don't guess they're your bills. See?" "What harm is there in that?" demanded Mr. Crewe. "I'm not ashamed of 'em."
