To do well, he must be prepared for rebuffs, and he is possessed of a species of courage and resistance against refusal and humiliation. In the highest form the persuader is a teacher and propagandist, changing the policy of peoples; in the commonest form he is a salesman, seeking to sell a commodity; in the lowest he is the faker, trying to hoodwink the credulous.
"No doubt." "As her brother's friend and classmate." "That is all very well, but you don't seem to consider your present position." "Will you be good enough to tell me what is my present position?" "You know better than I can tell you. You are the assistant of a low faker." "I accompany Professor Robinson as a musical assistant, if that is what you mean."
"Well, it's lucky you had that note from him, or you'd never have been able to convince the authorities here that he was a faker," remarked Joe. "I guess he didn't count on that." "Probably not," agreed Blake. "And now, boys, let's get busy!" There was much to do after their release. They went back to their hotel and began getting their baggage in shape for the trip to France.
I looked about his shop and wondered just how much of a faker he was. Once or twice I had heard of surgeons who had gone legitimately into this sort of thing. But the common story was that of the swindler or worse. I had heard of scores of cases of good looks permanently ruined, seldom of any benefit. Had Chapelle ignorantly done something that would leave its scar forever?
This was the will which was offered for probate! Cresswell thought it was a curious state of affairs, and listened with much interest to the further cross-examination. "Had you ever seen any other will?" I inquired. It was quite an accidental question, as one would put in a desultory sort of conversation with a friend. "Er yes I have," said Faker. "What was that?"
But soon I found that there was someone 'in the air' who was determined to defeat this purpose. It is now 11 p.m., and he seems to have been successful in his attempts to make it appear that I am a faker. Nobody has offered to come to my rescue." Saturday's entry in the diary opened as follows: "Last night, between 2 and 3 a.m., I was awakened by a slight noise outside near the tent.
You incorrigible old faker, you are making that up as you go!" Red looked undecidedly after him as he strode away in the moonlight in the direction of the picketed horses. For a moment he hesitated, then he flung a fresh log on the fire and began to untie his blanket roll. "It is gettin' along about beddin' down time, fer a fac'." But there was much of disconsolation in his voice.
This Jonas called himself a "philosophic anarchist," and posed as the reddest Red in American City; it was his habit to rise up in radical meetings and question the speaker, and try to tempt him to justify violence and insurrection and "mass-action." If he repudiated these ideas, then Jonas would denounce him as a "mollycoddle," a "pink tea Socialist," a "labor faker."
Even if he survived and brought us his Truth with all the gravity and long night-gown of a Hindu faker, as soon as any one listened to him his message would no longer be Truth. The complexion of his audience, the very shape of their noses, would subtly undermine his magnificent aloofness. Women have learned the secret. Truth must never be uttered, and never be listened to.
That is exactly the sort of a case Dr. Deaver describes. The faker gets busy with drugs that antidote the morphine poisoning, and occasionally a patient gets well in spite of all.
