"He's rotten," murmured the manager, now busy on the margin of another paper. "But I dunno as he's any rottener than the rest." "On behalf of the profession of journalism, we thank you, Bezdek," said one of the critics. "Don't mind old Bez," put in the elderly first-nighter. "He always says what he thinks he means, but he usually doesn't mean it."
"The curse of dramatic criticism," murmured a magazine representative. "Rotten," said Bezdek doggedly. "Crooked. Tryin' to be funny at other folks' expense. I'll give his tail a twist!" By which he meant Mr. Gurney's printed words. "Apropos of the high cult of honesty," remarked Banneker. "The curse of all journalism," put in Laurence. "The temptation to be effective at the expense of honesty."
"That is perhaps just as well," said Banneker quite quietly, "if he means that The Ledger is not straight." "I didn't say The Ledger. I said Gurney. He's crooked as a corkscrew's hole." There was a murmur of protest and apprehension, for this was going rather too far, which Banneker's voice stilled. "Just a minute. By that you mean that he takes bribes?" "Naw!" snorted Bezdek.
Less hampered by personal considerations. So I sent and got this one." "But he isn't good. He's a horrid beast. We've been specially nice to him, on your account mostly Ban, if you grin that way I shall hate you! I had Bezdek invite him to one of the rehearsal suppers and he wouldn't come. Sent word that theatrical suppers affected his eyesight when he came to see the play." Banneker chuckled.
