The inevitable allusion to Bernard Graves's poem involved literature, and to stand, as he did, under the same roof with the nymphs who had long bodied forth his pictorial ideal, was to invite a public avowal of his proposed championship of free art.
"I've found a man who seems to know of Shelby's crookedness, and is willing to tell what he knows." "Well?" "Jap Hinchey." Graves's face lengthened. "That beast," said he. "Did you expect a Sir Galahad for such a service?" "What would the word of such a man avail?" "As much as any informer's; it isn't a chivalrous office."
