"But I honestly do believe the man you want me to pick up and then introduce to you to be a successful blackmailer." "Why? Do you know anything about him?" "Absolutely nothing." "Then your supposition about him is absurd and rather disgusting." "It isn't a supposition." "What is it then?" "Perhaps you don't realize, my girl, that I'm highly sensitive." "You seldom seem so.
"We'll let bygones be bygones, Mr. Potter," said Tom, good-humoredly. "I came out of it all right." "But you had no business to pay Jasper Parloe money for keeping still about it," said the miller, sourly. "Being bled by a blackmailer is never the action of a wise man. When he threatened me I went to your father at once and got ahead of Parloe.
For him the world seemed to be divided into the hopelessly dull and conventional, who did not count, and the definitely outrageous, who were often interesting and worthy of being studied and sometimes painted. It must be obvious to anyone that the living bronze could not be numbered among the merely dull and conventional. Naturally enough, then, Garstin supposed him to be a successful blackmailer.
He has his story pat. He even has his witnesses ready. I can assure you that Mr. Teddy Jones isn't by any means an ordinary sort of person." "He is not to be bluffed," Peter Ruff said, slowly; "he is not to be bribed. What remains?" "I have come here," Sir Richard said, "for your advice, Mr. Ruff." "The blackmailer," Peter Ruff said, "is a criminal." "He is a scoundrel!" Sir Richard assented.
Chauvenet was known to be a professional blackmailer and plotter of political mischief, and the embassy of Austria-Hungary had identified Durand as an ex-convict who had only lately been implicated in the launching of a dangerous issue of forged bonds in Paris.
I should like them to have seen the name already on the outside of that organ of public opinion called Tootsie's Tips, or The Boy Blackmailer, or Nosey Knows, that bright little financial paper which did so much for the Empire and which so narrowly escaped a criminal prosecution.
"No doubt in his way." "I think it a great mistake for any creative artist to be wonderful in someone else's way," said Miss Van Tuyn. "I only meant that his way is sometimes rather startling. And then his subjects! Drugged women! Dram drinking men! And now it seems even blackmailers." "A blackmailer might have a wonderful face." "Possibly. But it would be likely to have a disgusting expression."
"That infernal blackmailer, Tip Scammon!" flared Fred indignantly. In the courage of desperation Fred promptly decided that he would ignore the Scammon rascal. Nor did Fred change his mind. Besides, this afternoon he was due at Duxbridge for his first lesson under the mighty Everett. So Tip was on hand at the drug store beside the post office, but no Fred came.
He pictured himself in the rear room of the bar in the Rue Auber, relating, across the little marble-topped table, this American adventure, to the delight of that blithe, ne'er-do-well outcast of an exalted poor family, that gambler, blackmailer and merry rogue, Don Antonio Moliterno, comrade and teacher of this ductile Valentine since the later days of adolescence.
Hicks, with his gaudy attire, and ugly face, was always an affront to the eye, but to Owen he was a terror, for he held the power of blackmail over the secretary. Owen shrank at the sight of his enemy, but immediately took courage. Though Marvin's death had left the secretary no legacy it had also robbed the blackmailer of his power.
