Dulac leaped to his feet. "It's a bribe," he shouted. "It's nothing but an attempt to buy your manhood for five dollars a day. We're righting for a principle not for money.... We're " But his voice was drowned out. The meeting had taken charge of itself. It wanted to listen to no oratory, but to talk over this thing that had happened, to realize it, to weigh it, to determine what it meant to them.
"Before you go downtown," she said, "I want to talk to you." Dulac had not hoped to escape a reckoning with Ruth, and now he supposed she was demanding it. Well, as well now as later, if the thing had to be. He was a trifle sulky about it; perhaps, now that his blind rage had subsided, not wholly satisfied with himself and his conduct. "All right," he said, and went silently on with his meal.
He had leaned neither toward his father's striking employees nor against them.... His attitude was much the same now with a better understanding of the problems involved. He was not an ultracapitalist, like his father, nor a radical like Dulac.... One thing he believed, and that was in the possibility of capital and labor being brought to see through the same eyes.
"What do you want with her?... You've kicked her out of your office now leave her alone.... There's just one thing men of your class want of girls of her class...." At first Bonbright did not comprehend Dulac's meaning; then his face reddened; even his ears were enveloped in a surge of color. "Dulac," he said, evenly, "I came to say something to Miss Frazer.
He knew he would stand there in the shadows on innumerable nights, watching for that one brief second of her presence.... And she loved another man. In a year she would be free to marry Dulac!
Foote," she said, presently, "I " then she stopped. She had intended to tell him about Dulac; that she loved him and had promised to marry him, but she could not utter the words. It would hurt him so to know that she loved another man. She could refuse him without that added pain. "Don't you see," she said, "how impossible it is? It wouldn't do even if I cared for you."
He had just strength to send word to General Dulac to take his place, when he fainted. The struggle in and around the Malakoff was continued till three o'clock, when Gortschakoff withdrew his troops from the work which they had defended with such marvellous endurance for eleven months. The prize was now won, but at heavy cost.
Her utterance of his name was a command and a rebuke. "I know his kind," Dulac said, sullenly. "Let me throw him out." "Please sit down," she said. "I want to bring him in here. I know him better than you and I think your side misunderstands him. It may do some good." She stepped into the dining room. "Mr. Foote," she said. He was embarrassed, ill at ease.
And now, better equipped than for the first strike, with chances of success multiplied, Bonbright had intervened again with his plan. Dulac did not consider the plan; did not perceive virtues in it, not the intent that was behind it. He did not see that labor was getting without effort benefits that no strike could bring.
Rights to do this or not to do that to organize or to sit at board meetings. They're not practical, Mr. Foote. If it was just money they wanted we might get on with them. It's men like this Dulac putting notions into their heads that they haven't brains enough to think of themselves. Social revolution, you know that sort of thing." "Do what you like about it.
