At a dirty greasy pine table sat a boy one of those child veterans the big city develops. He had a long and extremely narrow head. His eyes were close together, sharp and shifty. His expression was sophisticated and cynical. "Well, sir!" he said with curt impudence, giving Feuerstein a gimlet-glance. "I want to see Mr. Loeb."
Loeb was too practical a philosopher to hate another man for doing that which he would have done himself if he had had the chance. At his office he told a clerk to send Feuerstein a note, asking him to call the next morning. When Feuerstein came into the anteroom the gimlet-eyed office boy disappeared through one of the doors in the partition and reappeared after a longer absence than usual.
"You don't know him he'll be crazy just crazy! We must wait till he finds out about you then he'll be very proud. He wanted a son-in-law of high social standing a gentleman." "We will go home, I tell you," replied Feuerstein firmly his tone was now the tone of the master. All the sentiment was out of it and all the hardness in it. Lena felt the change without understanding it.
"Feuerstein has ordered us to have your daughter brought into court at once to-morrow. He's your daughter's lawful husband and she's well beyond the legal age. Of course, he can't compel her to live with him or you to support him. But he can force the courts to inquire publicly. And I'm sorry to say we'll not be able to restrain him or the press, once he gets the ball to rolling."
For a few seconds the sudden blaze of light blinded her. Then Before her, stretched upon a table, was Mr. Feuerstein. She shrank back and gazed at him with wide, fascinated eyes. His face was turned toward her, his eyes half-open; he seemed to be regarding her with a glassy, hateful stare the "curse in a dead man's eye."
But because I believe you mean well, I shall tell you that it is impossible for me to go for several days at least. As soon as I honorably can, I shall come and the scandal will vanish like smoke." Otto let him go. "I mustn't thrash him, and I can't compel him to be a man." He returned to the German Theater; he must learn all he could about this Feuerstein.
I sent the maid for a pitcher of beer." "I want to ask about Mr. Feuerstein," replied Sophie. The girl's pert, prematurely-wrinkled face took on a quizzical smile. "Oh!" she said. "You can go up to his room. Third floor, back. Knock hard he's a heavy sleeper." Sophie climbed the stairs and knocked loudly. "Come!" was the answer in German, in Mr. Feuerstein's deep stage-voice.
"I want to pay you off right away quick. I think you and Loeb in cahoots. My detective, he says you both must have known about Feuerstein. He says you two were partners and knew his record. I'll expose you, if you don't settle now. Give me my bill." "It is impossible." Beck's tone was mild and persuasive. "All the items are not in." Ganser took out a roll of notes. "I pay you five hundred dollars.
And it was talk worth listening to, as it presented love and marriage in the interesting, romantic-sensible Avenue A light. Otto was staring gloomily at the shadow of the tree. He would have been gloomier could he have witnessed the scene to which the unmoral old elm was lending its impartial shade. Mr. Feuerstein was holding Hilda's hand while he looked soulfully down into her eyes.
Listen to Otto it'll break my heart if you frown on my marrying the man I love." There was a touch of Mr. Feuerstein in her words and tone. "Let's have our game, Mr. Brauner," interrupted Otto. "All this can be settled afterward. Why spoil our afternoon?" Brauner examined Mr. Feuerstein, who was posing as a statue of gloomy wrath.
