Speaker Doby a most convenient and congenial arrangement; farther down the board were State Senator Nat Billings, Mr. Mr. Tooting's description would not have stopped here. Sensations are common in the Pelican Hotel, but when Austen Vane walked in that evening between the Gaylords, father and son, many a hungry guest laid down his knife and fork and stared.
Perhaps you can suggest a way out for us," sighed Miss Maggie. "The case is just this: Jane wants Mellicent to marry Hibbard Gaylord." "Shucks! I've seen young Gray only once, but I'd give more for his little finger than I would for a cartload of Gaylords!" flung out Mr. Smith. "So would I," approved Miss Maggie. "But Jane well, Jane feels otherwise.
All the indications were that way, and a rumour flew from table to table-leaping space, as rumours will that the Gaylords had sent to Ripton for Austen. There was but one table in the room the occupants of which appeared not to take any interest in the event, or even to grasp that an event had occurred. After supper Mr. Tooting found Austen in the rotunda, and drew him mysteriously aside.
"See here, Judge, I wish you'd let me out of an argument about it. Suit is going to be brought, whether I bring it or another man. If you would prefer for any reason that I shouldn't bring it I won't. I'd much rather resign as counsel for the Gaylords and I am prepared to do so." "Bring suit," answered the Honourable Hilary, quickly, "bring suit by all means. And now's your time.

"I do not wish to be understood to ask your legal opinion, although you probably know that lumber rates have been steadily raised, and if a suit under that section were successful the Gaylord Lumber Company could recover a very large sum of money from the Northeastern Railroads," said Austen. "Having discovered the section, I believe it to be my duty to call it to the attention of the Gaylords.
If anything's up, give me the tip, that's all I ask." Reflecting on the singular character of Mr. Tooting, Austen sought the Gaylords' headquarters, and found them at the furthermost end of the building from the Railroad Room. The door was opened by young Tom himself, whose face became wreathed in smiles when he saw who the visitor was. "It's Austen!" he cried.
He says as long as he has a horse and a few books and a couple of sandwiches a day he's all right. Hilary had him up in Number Seven tryin' to find out what he came down for, and Austen told him pretty straight what he didn't tell the Gaylords, either.
Austen bit his lip, and then laughed outright, the canonization of old Tom Gaylord being too much for him. "Now, Judge," he said, "it isn't like you to draw hasty conclusions. Because I sat down to supper with the Gaylords it isn't fair to infer that they have retained me in a legislative case."
