Sellers and Washington stepped out of the building they were surprised to find that the daylight was old and the sun well up. Said the Colonel: "Give me your hand, my boy! You're all right at last! You're a millionaire! At least you're going to be. The thing is dead sure. Don't you bother about the Senate. Leave me and Dilworthy to take care of that. Run along home, now, and tell Laura.
Senator Dilworthy and Philip were in the Diplomatic Gallery; Washington sat in the public gallery, and Col. Sellers was, not far away. The Colonel had been flying about the corridors and button-holing Congressmen all the evening, and believed that he had accomplished a world of valuable service; but fatigue was telling upon him, now, and he was quiet and speechless for once.
In Laura's room there were the marks of a confused and hasty departure, drawers half open, little articles strewn on the floor. The bed had not been disturbed. Upon inquiry it appeared that Laura had not been at dinner, excusing herself to Mrs. Dilworthy on the plea of a violent headache; that she made a request to the servants that she might not be disturbed. The Senator was astounded.
"Well" hesitated the, Colonel "I am afraid some of them do buy their seats yes, I am afraid they do but as Senator Dilworthy himself said to me, it is sinful, it is very wrong it is shameful; Heaven protect me from such a charge. That is what Dilworthy said.

Three-fifths of you are Dilworthys." The Sergeant-at-arms very soon put a quietus upon the observations of the representative of the nation, and convinced him that he was not, in the over-free atmosphere of his Happy-Land-of-Canaan: The statement of Senator Dilworthy naturally carried conviction to the minds of the committee.
When he was asked, afterwards, about the stolen copy of the Alabama Treaty which got into the "New York Tribune," he only looked mysterious, and said that neither he nor Senator Dilworthy knew anything about it. But those whom he was in the habit of meeting occasionally felt almost certain that he did know.
He puts on an air of levity sometimes, but there aint a man in the senate knows the scriptures as he does. He did not make any objections?" "Not exactly, he said shall I tell you what he said?" asked Laura glancing furtively at him. "Certainly." "He said he had no doubt it was a good thing; if Senator Dilworthy was in it, it would pay to look into it."
Dilworthy, in a little speech at a dinner party given him by some of his admirers, "merely desired to sacrifice me.
