It struck him with a dubious chill when Senator Hanway suddenly distinguished him with the freedom of that veranda door a franchise upon which your statesman laid flattering emphasis, saying that not ten others had been granted it. This episode of the veranda door befell upon the earliest visit which Richard made in his quality of correspondent of the Daily Tory.
Senator Gruff, who was indefatigable for Senator Hanway, told him that Speaker Frost reported his own State delegation as already in line. Also the President of the Anaconda, from whom Senator Gruff had letters every week, described the Hanway sentiment in Anaconda regions as invincible.
A Sir Jonas noticed by nobody; but himself taking note, dull worthy man; and mentionable now on that account. Here is a Scrap regarding him, not quite to be thrown away: "Sir Jonas Hanway was not always so extinct as he has now become. Hanway despatched, years ago, as Chief Clerk, inexpressibly interested to manage well; and managing, as you may read at large.
"Wasn't it Virgil who wrote 'What cares the wolf how many the sheep be'? The wolves, I tell you, win." Senator Hanway, full of inborn furtivities, still hung in the wind of doubt. "Would it not be as wise," he argued, "to claim the public's attention with some new unusual proposition? Might not the public, being wholly engaged thereby, forget finance?"
He, Senator Coot, was no one to buy pigs in pokes if Senator Hanway would forgive a homely expression which was not intended as personal to himself. Senator Coot must insist upon his question. Senator Gruff still came forward in defense. He said he had heard that Senator Coot's native State of Indiana was originally settled by people who had started for the West but lost their nerve.
He, Senator Hanway, being a patriot, was diligently working for the nomination and election of Governor Obstinate, and all who called him friend would do the same. Following this pronunciamento, Senator Hanway began laying personal pipes for four years away with pristine ardor. Friday, the twenty-seventh of May, was dark and lowering, with a slow storm blackly gathering in the southwest.
Hanway lifted his head, with a strong look of surly objection on his heavy features. Selwyn noted it with a glow of growing anger. He felt that he had said naught amiss. People could not expect their sisters to escape attracting notice, especially a sister with a remarkable name and endowed with a face like this one's.
The country was entitled to the services of every citizen, the party was at liberty to command the name of every member. Believing these things, and owing what he did to both public and party, Senator Hanway must acquiesce. He thanked his friends for thus distinguishing him; he gave himself passively to their will. There was a second tempest of approbation when Senator Hanway was through.
Senator Hanway was impressed by the hint of the eye-glassed Mazarin. The Treasury portfolio stood within ready throw of a Presidential nomination; he, Senator Hanway, might step from it the successor of Governor Obstinate whenever that gentleman's tenancy of the White House should come to an end.
To Richard, the hereafter was as opaque as it was to Senator Hanway, and, having seen his protégé installed, he walked away unconscious of a morn to dawn when Mr. Sands would recur as an instance of that bread upon the waters which returns after many days. Storri was a sensualist to his fingers' ends.
