I'll manage the others." "I should like to," said Peter. "I'm very grateful for the offer but we could hardly do that successfully. If the firm was good for anything, we should be known as belonging to it, and the public could not well discriminate." So that chance of success was passed. But every now and then Bohlmann sent him something to do, and Dummer helped him to a joint case occasionally.
"I'm not so sure," said the gentleman of the previous questions. "How many votes can you hurt us, Stirling?" "I don't know," Peter looked very contented. "You can't expect to beat us single?" Peter smiled quietly. "I haven't had time to see many men. But I'm not single. Bohlmann says the brewers will back me, Hummel says he'll be guided by me, and the President won't interfere."
"Plain talking's the way to deal with him." He ended his allusions to the trial, and said: "Now, Mr. Stirling, Mr. Bohlmann doesn't want to have these civil suits go any further. Mr. Bohlmann's a man of respectability, with a nice wife and some daughters. The newspapers are giving him quite enough music without your dragging him into court." "It's the only way I can reach him," said Peter.
Bohlmann make?" asked Peter, somewhat irrelevantly. "Ah," said Moriarty, "that's the fine honest beer! There's never anythin' wrong wid his. An' he treats his keepers fair. Lets them do as they want about keepin' open Sundays, an' never squeezes a man when he's down on his luck." Peter looked at his wall again. Peter was learning something.
"Why not now?" "Because we hope to make Coldman speak the truth in the trial, and thus be able to reach Bohlmann." "You're wasting your time." "Not if there's the smallest chance of sending the brewer to prison." "There isn't. Coldman will stick to what he said if the thing is ever tried, which it won't be." Peter eyed Dummer without changing a muscle.
He had said to himself long ago that it was easy to take the right one, but he had not then discovered that it is often difficult to know which is the right, in order to follow it. He had started in to punish Bohlmann, and had compromised. He had disapproved of Dennis breaking the law, and had compromised his disapproval. He had said he should not go into saloons, and had ended by going.
When the butler came back and said aloud, "Mr. Bohlmann will see you in the library, Mr. Stirling," Peter noticed that both girls turned impulsively to look at him, and that the daughter flushed red. He found Mr. Bohlmann standing uneasily on the rug by the fireplace, and a stout woman gazing out of the window, with her back to the room. "I had a call from your lawyer this morning, Mr.
He was to pay the rent, receiving a sub-lease from Bohlmann, who was only a lesee himself, and to give a chattel mortgage on the stock supplied him. Finally he was to have the right of redemption of stock, lease, and good-will at any time within five years, on making certain payments. "You draw up der babers, Misder Stirling, and send der bill to me.
Bohlmann was ranked as a millionaire already, and was growing richer fast. Yet Peter needed no blank walls. During this summer, Peter had a little more law practice. A small grocer in one of the tenements came to him about a row with his landlord.
He did not contribute much to the laughter, but every one seemed to think him an addition to the big table. Thus it came to pass that late in January Peter dedicated a week of evenings to "Society," and nightly donning his dress suit, called dutifully on Mrs. Dupont, Mrs. Sizer, Mrs. Purple, Mrs. Avery, Mrs. Costell, Mrs. Gallagher and Mrs. Bohlmann. Peter was becoming very frivolous.
