There is not the faintest doubt that Burr will have seventy votes by the meeting of the caucus." "Glad to hear it," was Galt's response; but in passing through the lobby on his way out he encountered an equal assurance in the opposite camp. Rann, who was the centre of a small group, broke away and came towards him. "I suppose the governor has reconciled himself to defeat, eh, Mr. Galt?"
A careful student of the period argues with point that to Galt we owe the introduction of the policy into practical politics. In the light of after events this view cannot be lightly set aside. But the effort bore no fruit for the moment.
"How is it, little woman?" asked Galt as he put his arm about the blue dressing-gown. "Working yourself to death, are you?" Since entering his home he had lost entirely the air of business-like severity which he had worn all day. He looked young and credulous. Juliet laughed with the pettish protest of a half-spoiled wife and drew back from the table.
I heard nothing more in words, but I saw him turn to her somewhat sharply, and I caught the deep notes of his voice as he answered her. When, a moment after, I looked back, she had gone below. Galt Roscoe had a seat at Captain Ascott's table, and I did not see anything of him at meal-times, but elsewhere I soon saw him a great deal. He appeared to seek my company.
In those days I never could think of her save in connection with some fatal incident in which she was scathless, and some one else suffered. It may have been fancy, but I thought that, during the first day or two after leaving Aden, Galt Roscoe and Mrs. Falchion were very little together.
Before the war and even long after nobody had heard of the Ranns; they had arrived as suddenly as the electric lights or the trolley cars. When Miss Chris had alluded to them as "new people," and Juliet Galt had declared that she "did not call there," Dudley had thrown out an uncertain line to Eugenia. "Rann is a useful man, my dear," he had said.
"Ah, the usual thing." "I don't know the details but there is sufficient evidence against the man, they say, to hang him twenty times. He's as dead as if the noose had left his neck but he must die by law. There hasn't been a lynching in the State since I've been in office." He spoke quietly, but Galt saw the anxiety in his face and met it bravely.
"Good Lord!" ejaculated Galt feebly. "You are as great at borrowing as the children of Israel." His comments were cut short by the entrance of Eugenia's silver basket, accompanied by an enormous punch bowl, which she sent word she had remembered at the last moment. "Bless her heart!" exclaimed Juliet.
At the time it resolved itself into a question of tongues. "This is thick," said Ben Galt, dodging the straw hat with which a perspiring politician was fanning himself and gently withdrawing himself from the arms of a scarlet individual in a wet collar to collide with his double. "Let's go to dinner. Ah! there's the Lion of Democracy how are you, Judge?"
I wonder if Miss Galt would pose for us if we told her what a fix we were in." He picked up the telephone receiver. "Miss Galt, please," he said. Then, aside, "Of course it's nerve to ask a girl who's earning three thousand a year to leave her desk and come up and pose for Hello! Miss Galt?" Jock, seated on the edge of the models' platform, was beginning to enjoy himself.
