And, oh, oh, she was his, and he was hers. She was actually beside herself at times with the glory, as well as the delight of all this. Such a house compared to Cowperwood's! Her dear, but ignorant, father! And this great man, her lover, had now condescended to love her see in her his future wife. Oh, God, that it might not fail!
Still, the name of his daughter being involved, he took the matter up with Cecily, who under pressure confessed. She made the usual plea that she was of age, and that she wished to live her own life logic which she had gathered largely from Cowperwood's attitude.
He had employed Cowperwood's two brothers, at very moderate salaries one to take care of the books and look after the office, and the other to act on 'change with him, for their seats in that organization had never been sold. And also, by considerable effort, he had succeeded in securing Cowperwood, Sr., a place as a clerk in a bank.
He is a pariah, and if this opportunity to show him what we think of him and his methods is not used we will be doing less than our duty to the city and to one another." "Gentlemen," said Mr. Arneel, finally, after Cowperwood's different loans had been carefully tabulated, "don't you think it would be wise to send for Mr.
It saved the city the trouble of looking far and wide for honest and reasonable dealers. Since the action of at least three of these dummies will have something to do with the development of Cowperwood's story, they may be briefly described.
Aileen, from her position in the crowd near the door, was for the first time in her life biting her fingers nervously and there were great beads of perspiration on her brow. Cowperwood's father was tense with excitement and his two brothers looked quickly away, doing their best to hide their fear and sorrow. "Ever convicted before?" "Never," replied Steger for Cowperwood, quietly.
Cowperwood's clutches and been made into a spectacle and a laughing-stock by her. What a brute she was what a demon! Her own physical weakness under the circumstances was no grief to her rather a salve to her superior disposition; but just the same she had been badly beaten, her beauty turned into a ragamuffin show, and that was enough.
Stimson, Avery, McKibben, Van Sickle, and others were on Cowperwood's behalf acting separately upon various unattached aldermen those not temperamentally and chronically allied with the reform idea and making them understand that if they could find it possible to refrain from supporting anti-Cowperwood measures for the next two years, a bonus in the shape of an annual salary of two thousand dollars or a gift in some other form perhaps a troublesome note indorsed or a mortgage taken care of would be forthcoming, together with a guarantee that the general public should never know.
There are many such. Payderson was one. He fairly revered property and power. To him Butler and Mollenhauer and Simpson were great men reasonably sure to be right always because they were so powerful. This matter of Cowperwood's and Stener's defalcation he had long heard of. He knew by associating with one political light and another just what the situation was.
Up to this time, owing to Cowperwood's quiet manipulation of his affairs, there had been no comment on his past no particular interest in it. He had money, affable ways, a magnetic personality. The business men of the city those whom he met socially were inclined to consider him fascinating and very clever.
