Scarborough smiled. "Even Larkin couldn't get it for Frankfort he's too notorious." "He don't want to get it for him," replied Burdick. "His real man's Judge Graney." Scarborough stopped fanning himself with his wide-brimmed straw. Judge Graney was the most adroit and dangerous of John Dumont's tools.
"Not an idea in my head all day," he said to himself with drowsy delight. Four days of this, and on the fifth came the outside world in the form of Burdick, chairman of the county committee of his party in the county in which his farm lay. They sat on the fence under the big maple, out of earshot of the others. "Larkin's come out for John Frankfort for the nomination for governor," said Burdick.
This African man Raisuli hides Burdick Harris up in the mountains, and advertises his price to the governments of different nations. Now, you wouldn't think for a minute," goes on Caligula, "that John Hay would have chipped in and helped this graft along if it wasn't a square game, would you?"

In Western New York, Dr. Burdick was known as the "Laughing Doctor."
