And at the last she answered him and said: 'Henchman, wherefore I pray thee is my son departed? There is no need that he should go abroad on swift ships, that serve men for horses on the sea, and that cross the great wet waste. Is it that even his own name may no more be left upon earth?
Having come into his fortune by being a henchman to abler men than himself, he was almost over-zealous to retain it, knowing that he could never get it again; yet he was hospitable with the income he had to spend.
For quite two years there had been an acutely painful interest in the Graft Prosecution, which, beginning with an attempt merely to bring to justice the political boss, his henchman the mayor, and his ignorant obedient board of supervisors, had unthinkably resolved itself into a declaration of war, with State's Prison as its goal, upon some of the most prominent capitalists in San Francisco.
They did not take into account the possibility that their henchman, Paddington, might fail, or turn traitor; that Mac Alarney might talk to save his own hide; that Jimmy Brunell's forgeries might be traced to their source; that the books in the office of the Recorder of Deeds might divulge interesting items to those sufficiently concerned to delve into the files of past years!
I thought it must be some friend of papa's. Now I remember he said once you must wear the proper dress for a henchman. How do you like it?" "It's a' ane to me," said Malcolm. "I dinna care what I weir. Gien only I had a richt till 't!" he added with a sigh. "It is too bad of you, Malcolm!" rejoined Florimel in a tone of rebuke.

So she went on her way to the hall, with the women her handmaids.

An' some day Andy's goin' to give Pet the time o' his life," the single faithful henchman kept saying. "Oh, let up, Tom! Ain't any one o' ye got a knife? I can't never get this here knot untied. Hand it here, Billy.
I was a fool that I did not stamp him out long ago; but woe betide him when we next meet! Had it not been that I was served by a fool" and here the angry knight turned to his henchman, Red Roy "this would not have happened. Who could have thought that a man of your years could have suffered himself to be fooled by a boy, and to bring me tales that this insolent upstart was a poor stupid lout!
He might pass along these streets in safety, and since he had become a man of some importance, had influence with this mob.
