Burlingame's eyes filled with tears, and he said: "Charles, I saw you lying bleeding and insensible on the Senate floor, when I did not expect ever again to hear you speak; and I intended then to kill him. I tell you, Charles, we have got to meet those fellows with guns, some day, and the sooner we begin, the better."
The day after the Young Doctor had paid his professional visit to Tralee, and Orlando Guise had first seen the girl-wife of, the behemoth, the Young Doctor visited Burlingame's office. Burlingame had only recently returned from England, whither he had gone on important legal business, which he had agreeably balanced by unguarded adventures in forbidden paths. He was in an animated mood.
Besides, his pride as a professional man had been hurt, and he had been deprived of income which now went to his most hated professional rival. Mazarine's jealous soul had cut him off, on coming to know Burlingame's dark reputation. He had not liked the look Burlingame had given Louise when they met. "Gone again, has she?" Burlingame repeated sarcastically.
The editor of one New York paper printed a full list of the names of the guests at Mrs. Burlingame's dinner the night the treasure was stolen, and, whether they ever discovered it for themselves or not, several bearers of highly honored social names were shadowed by reporters and others everywhere they went for the next week.
"You have got my story, and it's bad enough, but you can see it's not what Burlingame suggested." "Burlingame but Burlingame's beneath notice," rejoined Kitty. "Isn't he, mother?" Mrs. Tynan nodded. Then, as though with sudden impulse, Kitty came forward to Crozier and leaned over him. The look of a mother was in her eyes.
He liked hard hitting, but he also liked to take human nature as it was, and not to quarrel. Burlingame, on his part, had no desire for strife with the Young Doctor. He would make a very dangerous enemy. His return smile was a great effort, however. Ruefulness and exasperation were behind it. The Young Doctor had only been gone a few minutes when Joel Mazarine entered Burlingame's office.
"I suppose you read in the papers this morning how Mrs. Burlingame's diamond stomacher has turned up missing." "Yes," said I, "and I'm glad of it." "You ought to be," said Holmes, "since it will put $5000 in your pocket. You haven't heard yet that there is a reward of $10,000 offered for its recovery.
"That drug-eating Gus Burlingame's got a grudge against him somehow, and when a lawyer's got a grudge against you it's just as well to look where y' are goin'. Burlingame don't care what he does to get his way in court. What set him against Kerry I ain't sure, but, bedad, I think it's looks.
"Ah, he lived by his wits?" "No, he was not a lawyer! I have said he had no profession. He lived on his money on his estate." The judge waved down the laughter at Burlingame's expense. "In official documents what was his description?" snarled Burlingame. "'Gentleman' was his designation in official documents." "You, then, were the son of a gentleman?" There was a hateful suggestion in the tone.
He did not know what it was like, except that he had seen it make men do silly things, just as drink did. He did not know whether he was in love or not. It was absurd that a man should be in love with a face at a window a face with the beauty of a ghost rather than of a real live woman. Orlando had little evil in his nature; his eyes did not look towards Tralee as did Burlingame's eyes.
