But why do you ask?" "Well; I have a reason for asking. I don't know that I quite wish to say what my reason is." "I have heard of him as connected with Hunky's house," said the banker, "or rather with one of the partners in the house." "Is he a man of means?" "I imagine him to be so; but I know nothing. He has rather large dealings, I take it, in foreign stocks.
I leave out my sly ruses and feints to draw Hunky's word-of-mouth blows it all came to something like this: "Speaking of the next election," said Hunky, "did you ever know much about Indians? No? I don't mean the Cooper, Beadle, cigar-store, or Laughing Water kind I mean the modern Indian the kind that takes Greek prizes in colleges and scalps the half-back on the other side in football games.
Mills Happerton and with Messrs. Hunky and Sons." "Is he not connected with Hunky's house?" "I think not. He has a partner of the name of Parker, who is, who is not, I think, quite quite a gentleman. I never saw him." "What does he do with Mr. Parker?" "I believe they buy guano." "Ah; that, I fancy, was only one affair." "I'm afraid he lost money, papa, by that election at Silverbridge."
"Did you ever see him anywhere else?" "Well, yes; I have met him at dinner." "He was never in the House. What does he do?" Rattler was distressed to think that any drone should have made its way into the hive of working bees. "Oh; money, I fancy." "He's not a partner in Hunky's, is he?" "I fancy not. I think I should have known if he was."
You are always like a toad under a harrow, and that without the slightest cause. I have money lying at Hunky's more than double enough for the bills. Why can't you trust a man? If you won't trust me in saying so, you can go to Mills Happerton and ask him. But, remember, I shall be very much annoyed if you do so, and that such an inquiry cannot but be injurious to me.
