The last of the first party which had stepped forward to write was the over-dressed young man Alex had poked some of his fun at, and who was bent on "showing him up." He wrote: "You are a faker." "Explain to ze audience how I do it, zen, Mr. Peters," retorted the professor. In some confusion Peters sought his seat, and the minister approached the board.
I'm the most fashionable doctor in Chicago. They come here, the women, damn them, in shoals. That's Eleanor's doing. I'm a faker, a fraud, a damned actor. I pose for them. I play up. I give them what they want. And that's her doing. They go silly about me; fancy they're in love with me. That's what she wants them to do. It increases my value for her as a possession.
He had betrayed himself. At last Faker said, "Yes, Mr. Hawkins; yes, sir her duty to her husband." "In the way of providing for him?" was my next question. "Oh yes; quite so." "You were careful, of course, as you told your learned counsel, to avoid any undue influence?" "Certainly." "The will was not completed, I think, when you first saw the dying woman on the day, I mean, of her death?"
The modern "Clyde artists" are credited by Dr. Robert Munro with "some practical artistic skill," and some acquaintance with the very old and mysterious designs on great rocks among the neighbouring hills. What man of artistic skill, no conscience, and a knowledge of archaic patterns is associated with the Clyde? The "faker" is not the mere mischievous wag of the farm-house or the country shop.
"Well, I never expect to take any prizes in a beauty show, so that doesn't make me mad," said Jimmy, calmly. "If you weren't so blamed fat, I'd have half a mind to throw you out the window, you old faker," said Herb, threateningly. "Couldn't do it," said Jimmy, briefly. "In the first place, I'm too heavy; and in the second place, Bob wouldn't let you."
"In that case, I may as well be sacrificed as anyone else. When do we start?" "You old faker!" cried Jim, pounding me on the back. "You wouldn't miss the trip for anything. If you're ready we'll start right now. Everything is ready." "Including the sacrifice," I replied, rising. "All right, Jim, let's go and get it over with.
They did not seem to comprehend. "What what was that you said?" asked Mr. DeVere. "I said I was going to make a moving picture of that faker," repeated Russ. "Excuse that word, but it's the only one that fits." "Yes, he really is a faker and cheat," agreed the actor. "And, Russ, your idea is most excellent.
Munro, for he acknowledges none of these parallelisms. That point, a crucial point, are the various sets of things analogous in character or not? must be decided for each reader by himself, according to his knowledge, taste, fancy, and bias. The faker occasionally changes his style.
On a passage about the bittern bird he had made this note, "The bittern has a harsh, throaty cry." Whereupon I addressed him thus: "Throaty nothing! You are guessing, man. If Teddy Roosevelt reads your book and he reads everything he will denounce you as a nature faker and put you down for membership in the Ananias Club.
I will, therefore, give the points of the questions which elicited the truth from the Christian warrior; and probably the non-legal reader of these memoirs may be interested in seeing what may sometimes be done by a few judicious questions. "Mr. Faker," I said. "Sir," says Faker. "You have told us you acted as the adviser of the testatrix." "Yes, sir." "Spiritual adviser, of course?"
