Not till that moment did Maggie realize the full truth; not till then did she realize the solid influence Larry Brainard had been in the background of her life all these months. "I didn't go through with it because of Larry Brainard." "Larry Brainard!" His astonishment increased. "You know Larry Brainard, then?" "I've known him for several years."
"That requires our first attention. If we could only be certain that Mr. Lyon had returned to the city." "Ah, yes if we could only be certain. That he was not here, reason and common sense tell me. Opposed to this is the very positive belief of Mr. Lamar that he saw him on the day before yesterday, twice." "What had better be done under these circumstances?" queried Mr. Brainard.
Pride, which stimulates the desire to make a certain appearance in the world, is generally more at fault than a wish to secure the comforts of which my friend talked so much. I had another acquaintance, by the name of Tyler, who was married about the same time with Brainard.
"Rather expensive," said I. "It does cost something," and Brainard shrugged his shoulders. "But I think it's money well spent. You know that I go in for the comforts of life." And he leaned back, while I thought I perceived a slight shadow flit across his face. A singer came forward at the moment, and no more was said.
Did you set no value on your husband's gifts?" There was a slight rebuke in the tone of Brainard. Tears sprang to Anna's eyes, as she answered "I valued them less than his happiness." Brainard looked at her for a few moments with an expression of deep tenderness. Then turning to me, he said, in a voice that was unsteady from emotion "You shall be my judge. Has she done wrong or right?" "Right!"
Father McCarty's away, or I wouldn't ask it." She was gone with the words. With the first sentence Brown had sprung to his feet. As Mary Kelcey vanished he turned to Doctor Brainard. "Come, Doctor," he said, with a beckoning hand. "While I say the bit of a prayer you try what you can do to keep the baby here!" The eminent physician rose rather slowly to his feet.
"Won't you sit here at my desk and listen over the microphone to what happens!" She was gone before Mrs. Brainard could reply. What did it all mean? Sybil put the black disc receiver to her ear as she had seen Constance do. Her hand trembled. "Why did she tell me that?" she murmured. "You can't prove it," shouted a voice through the black disc at her ear. She was startled.
She had recovered her poise, and she replied banteringly: "As I said, how can I tell what he's going to make me do?" She heard him draw a deep, quivering breath between clenched teeth; but she could not see how his figure tensed and how his face twisted into a glower. "Get this, Maggie: Larry Brainard is never going to be able to make you do anything. You get that?"
So Brainard, as the time of payment drew nearer and nearer, made an effort to get from his friends the amount of money needed. But the effort was not successful. Some looked surprised when he spoke of having notes to meet; others ventured a little good advice on the subject of prudence in young men who are beginning the world, and hinted that he was living rather too fast.
"His confidence is strong." "It is very strong. He thinks that the fewer parties engage in the matter, the better it will be for all, if they can furnish the aggregate capital required." "Why?" "The fewer persons interested, the more concert of action there will be, and the larger individual dividend on the business." "If there should come a dividend," said Mr. Brainard.
