For all the change which it brought about in Hogarty's face that greeting might have been left unspoken. He vouchsafed the fat man's elaborate pantomime not so much as the shadow of a smile, nodded once, thoughtfully, and let his eyes fall again to the card between his elbows on the table-top. "Come in, Chub," he invited shortly. "Come in."
Again that promise of something ominous blackened the pupils something totally dangerous that harmonized perfectly with the snarl upon his lips. Hogarty's whole attitude was that of a man who wanted to believe and yet who, because he knew that the very measure of his eagerness made him doubly easy to convince, had resolved not to let himself accept one spurious proof.
He wanted to note the effect which the sudden display of that pair of shoulders and set of back muscles would have upon Flash Hogarty's temper. As they crossed the long room Denny's grave lack of concern was made to seem almost stolid in contrast with the heliotrope silk-shirted boy's excessive nervousness. "Now remember what I told you," he whispered hoarsely.
Hogarty was through the ropes with the bell. As Denny dropped upon the stool he stripped the glove from the boy's right hand and examined it with anxious fingers. The other two were sponging his chest with water pumping fresh air into his lungs; but Old Jerry's eyes clung to the calamity written upon Hogarty's gray features.

"I have been a trifle fastidious, haven't I?" he murmured, and unconsciously he mimicked Hogarty's measured accents. "But I hardly believe that any sensitive scruples of mine would annoy me much in this matter.
May I er inquire if you wish employment by the er week, or just in your spare time, to put it so?" The question was icily sarcastic. Denny's answer came sharp upon its heels. His voice was just as measured, just as inflectionless as Hogarty's had been. "If you hire them here by the week," he said, "or for their spare time, I I reckon I've come to the wrong establishment.
