But the "whirligig of time" brought about even stranger "revenges," when not only Mr. Gorham and Mr. H.B. Wilson in their own defence, but the tribunals which had to decide on their cases, carried the strictness of reading and the latitude of interpretation, quite as far, to say the least, as anything in No. 90. Unhappily Tract 90 was met at Oxford, not with argument, but with panic and wrath.
Here was a check in payment of a small bill, he knew. It was from a firm which habitually kept hundreds of thousands on deposit at the Gorham Bank. It fitted the case admirably. He slit open the letter. There, neatly folded, was the check: No. 15711. Dec. 27, 191 . Pay to the order of....... Green & Co....... Twenty-five 00/100 ..................Dollars $25.00/100
I always keep away from streets where there are banks after three o'clock in the afternoon you'll find as much retail business in the morgue." Gorham saw him rent whole buildings in order to get the particular corner store he wanted, and then organize a real-estate business to handle the rental of stores and offices which he could not use.
You had better return to New York to-night to keep your eye on the coffee situation, and I will telephone you if I need you here after I see the Senator." The two men offered a striking contrast in their personalities. Robert Gorham was a large man, about fifty years of age, whose whole bearing, when at rest, suggested the idealist rather than the man of action.
We all supposed that we were to become stockholders in the Consolidated Companies, in which case we should have gained something at both ends; but Gorham evidently changed his mind about that, which leaves us nothing but the original rake-off." There was something in Harris's manner which annoyed Covington, yet he did not suggest cutting short the interview.
"I received yours and father's by Messrs. Russell and Gorham. Doctor had not the pleasure of seeing either of the gentlemen, as he was gone to Fishkill to oversee the inoculation of the troops, which was a very great disappointment. I removed to New Milford, from whence I intended to have set out for Boston. On Sunday, the Doctor took his leave, and left me to take care of the wounded.
"Would it be asking too much to inquire what the inventory, made by your experts, shows?" "One million two hundred thousand," Gorham responded, promptly.
"I understand what he means; but I don't believe a man in John Baker's place could help himself," she said quietly. "Of course he couldn't!" cried Mrs. Lawford. "There, Mr. Gorham, you have lost your champion. What have you to say now?" A murmur of approval went round the table.
"It is summed up in that last clause," Gorham interrupted, quietly; "'to do all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects. You see, I know the articles by heart. May I ask you to glance over the names of the present stockholders?"
I could not believe you sincere, I could not believe any man capable of living the creed you preached. I accept the penalty which you or other men may impose upon me." "You have imposed your own penalty, Covington," Gorham replied. "You, who have destroyed the way-marks to misguide others, now find yourself adrift because of your own act. You are a young man.
