"Your family, the Hutchinses, own the mills and the street-railroads, and any new enterprise that presents itself is done with their money, because they are reliable and sound." "It isn't pleasant to think that there are such people as the politicians, is it?" said Maude, slowly. "Unquestionably not," I agreed. "It isn't pleasant to think of some other crude forces in the world.
"Do you know a man named Krebs in the House?" I said. "From Elkington? Why, that's the man the Hutchinses let slip through, the Hutchinses, who own the mills over there. The agitators put up a job on them." The Colonel was no longer the genial and social purveyor of anecdotes. He had become tense, alert, suspicious. "What's he up to?" "He's found out about this bill," I replied. "How?"
However, thoughts of Maude continued to possess me. She still appeared the most desirable of beings, and a fortnight after my repulse, without any excuse at all, I telegraphed the George Hutchinses that I was coming to pay them a visit. Mrs. George, wearing a knowing smile, met me at the station in a light buck-board. "I've asked Maude to dinner," she said....

Facing it, on one side, was the Hutchins Library; on the other, across a wide street, where the maples were turning, were the Hutchinses' residences of various dates of construction, from that of the younger George, who had lately married a wife, and built in bright yellow brick, to the old-fashioned mansion of Ezra himself.
The Railroad politicians turned in and worked for the Democratic candidate, of course, and the Hutchinses, who own the mills, tried through emissaries to intimidate their operatives." "And then?" I asked. "Well, I'm here," he said. "Wouldn't you be accomplishing more," I inquired, "if you hadn't antagonized the Hutchinses?"
