"You don't need no guide," she replied. "Listen to that, will you?" And as he hearkened obediently Buck Daniels heard a strain of whistling, needle-sharp with distance. "That's him," nodded the woman.
No move had been made, at least so far as anyone could learn, in the project of forcing her to sell out, and Heman Daniels declared that none would be made. "It is one thing to boast," said Mr. Daniels, "and another to make good. My ahem er professional rival is beginning to realize, I think, that he has in this case bitten off more than he can er so to speak, chew.
I had never met any one like him, and he had never dreamed of any one like me. We were friends in a week and sweethearts in a month. Instead of joining his family, Tom stayed in New York and showed me the town. He took me to my first plays. Even now I know that "If I Were King" and "The Idol's Eye", with Frank Daniels, were good.
