As Lawyer Hutchings, overborne by the authority of the voice and manner, sat down, he noticed that Mr. Prentiss had disappeared. Interpreting rightly the other's glance, Mr. Gulmore began: "We're alone, Hutchin's. This matter shall be played fair and square. I guess you know that my word can be taken at its face-value."
Talk it over with May and you see that Gulmore challenges you to prove the corruption or else withdraw the imputation? What do you mean to do?" "I'll prove it, of course. Long before I spoke I had gone into that paving contract; it was clearly a fraud." "Well, I'd think, if I were you, before I acted, though you're a great help to me; your last speech was very powerful."
Hutchings allowed himself to hope for a favourable issue. "You've done wonderfully well," was the burden of his conversations with Roberts; "I should feel certain of success against any one but Gulmore. And he seems to be losing his head his perpetual abuse excites sympathy with you. If we win I shall owe it mainly to you."
If that was your business with me, you've made a mistake, and Professor Roberts is right." "Hev I?" asked Mr. Gulmore slowly, coldly, in sharp contrast to the lawyer's apparent excitement and quick speech. Contemptuously he thought that Hutchings was "foolisher" than he had imagined or was he sincere?
Gulmore, at whose church the Prying family attended. There was a sufficiency of prayers now "put up," in Mr. Gulmore's opinion, to begin the work of more practical conversion.
I told you long ago that I didn't want particularly to be Mayor, and the assault upon your position in the University decided me. There was no way to save your place except by giving Gulmore the victory he wanted. You're engaged to May, and May is fond of you: I'm not rich, and a post of three thousand dollars a year is not often to be found by a young man. What would you do if you were dismissed?
The Professor's tone was frank, his sincerity evident, but Simpson went on: "Don't ye? Perhaps Hutchin's has sent you to say, as he's sick it'd be well to run Robinson on both tickets eh?" "I don't know what you mean. I expected to meet Mr. Hutchings here. Is he ill?" "He'll get well soon, I reckon; but after taking a perscription from Gulmore, he's mighty bad and can't leave the house."
If he had a chance of becoming a Member of Congress, that would be different. And across his brain flitted the picture so often evoked by imagination in earlier years. Why not? Gulmore could make it certain. Would he? "What you say seems plausible enough, but I don't see my way. I don't feel inclined to go into business at my time of life." "You don't need to go into the business.
Then he wonders what the real motives are which induce you to change your political creed. But the affectation of fairness is the danger signal. One can't imagine Gulmore hesitating to assert what he has heard, that you have no religious principles. Coming from him, that means a declaration of war; he'll attack you without scruple persistently.
What did the man need? Congress? As a Republican? That would do as well. When Mr. Hutchings shook his head, careless of the menace, Mr. Gulmore made up his mind. His obstinacy came out; he would win at any price. He began: "It's what I said at first, Hutchin's; we've each got to give what the other wants.
