All this we saw through the tracery of the leafless branches, a mirthless, shivering crowd, crept through a hell of weather into the Hair Buyer's very lair. Had he neither heard nor seen? Down the steel-blue lane of water between the ice came a canoe. Our stunted senses perceived it, unresponsive.
Our men had eaten, their enemy was within their grasp and Clark and all his officers could scarce keep them from storming. Such was the deadliness of their aim that scarce a shot came back, and time and again I saw men fling themselves in front of the breastworks with a war-whoop, wave their rifles in the air, and cry out that they would have the Ha'r Buyer's sculp before night should fall.
Nor do they consider that the possibility of doing this is often contingent upon the buyer's carefully calculated probability of a rise in the article he is purchasing. Many a time is the jobber enabled and inclined to purchase largely only by the assurance that from the time of his purchase the price will be advanced.
In 1855 there was no business like the cotton business. Everything else was subservient to that. The cotton buyer's part, in particular, was a "pretty business." The cotton factor was harassingly responsible to a whole swarm of planter patrons, of whose feelings he had to be all the more careful when they were in his debt. The cotton broker could be bullied by his buyer.
When pressed further he retorted: "Of course I did not ask the buyer's name; equally of course, I did not take any note of him, it was my business to forget him. I didn't notice him when he came into the courtyard, there are always knots of people coming in all day, looking over the slaves I offer for sale, and going out again. He came in like anybody else and looked over my stock.
"You have been immensely helpful, however, Miss Thomas, and I thank you with all my heart." "If you could just tell me confidentially, of course," Miss Thomas whispered, "what sort of clue this dress is " "I don't know, myself!" the detective admitted. "But," he added to himself, after he had escaped the buyer's natural curiosity, "I intend to find out!"
Faith looked at him timidly. He was a silly looking young man who wore a flaming red necktie and curled the ends of his mustache. "Another tyrant," thought Faith, but she only bowed respectfully. Already in her short term of service she was getting used to tyrants. "I am going to put you in Miss Jennings' place for a day or two," was the buyer's greeting.
"She's a beauty all right," was the buyer's reply, "and she doesn't have to improve on nature a little bit, eh, Maggie?" "She won't keep that color long in this store," sneered Miss Brady. "She'll fade like all the rest of us, and it won't take long either." "Miss Fairbanks," gasped Miss Jennings from behind the counter, "I can't stand up any longer. You will have to excuse me."
By the buyer's standing out alone with this great order the Germans believe that the sellers, one by one, will fall into his hands and sell their product at a price below that which they could obtain if the individual sellers of America were meeting the individual buyers of Germany in the open market.
What will you give for them, delivered to your corral here?" The resident buyer looked uncomfortable. "I've had orders not to buy any more cattle for a time." "Whose orders?" demanded Sanderson. The resident buyer's face flushed and he looked more uncomfortable. "My firm's orders!" he snapped. Sanderson laughed grimly; he saw guilt in the resident buyer's eyes.
