Scattergood had a list of stockholders in the pulp company and knew they were worried. He spent two days in interviewing a dozen of them, and found little difficulty optioning their stock at a pleasant figure. They imagined he must be crazy, and he did nothing to destroy the belief. Then he called at the offices of Crane & Keith. "Want to see the boss man," he said. "What for?"
The history presented a publishing problem as well as a writing ordeal, and Susan, interviewing New York publishers, found the subject had little appeal. Finally, however, she signed a contract with Fowler & Wells under which the authors agreed to pay the cost of composition, stereotyping, and engravings; and as usual she raised the necessary funds.
The combination of La Salle's last adventure and the Mississippi flood caught the fancy of the newspaper man. "Shall I ever get out there?" Terabon asked himself. His dream was not of reporting wars, not of exploring Africa, not of interviewing kings and making presidents in a national convention. Far from it!
The report he gave about the child was very satisfactory; the mother was in the isolation ward. "Can she be seen?" "Yes, madame," said the urbane Frenchman in charge. "You understand, you will not be able to get near her? It will be rather like interviewing a prisoner, for she will be behind one set of bars and you behind another."
Miss Haldin, gathering that the lady who called herself a dame de compangnie was proud of having acted as secretary to Peter Ivanovitch, made an amiable remark. "You could not imagine a more trying experience," declared the lady. "There is an Anglo-American journalist interviewing Madame de S now, or I would take you up," she continued in a changed tone and glancing towards the staircase.

"Miss Lawson was masquerading in Ferguson's office for some reason. I caught her listening at the keyhole while Podmore was interviewing Ferguson day before yesterday. You might begin by explaining why she should report all this to you, Stiles, and why you tried to follow me last night after I left Mr. Lawson. I know that Miss Lawson is a valued member of the Recorder staff. Now, what about it?"
"When you have finished interviewing Gungadhura, find for Blaine sahib a new cook and a new butler, who can be trusted not to poison him!" "If I can!" "Of course you can find them! Tell Sita Ram, Samson sahib's babu, what is wanted. He will find men in one hour who have too much honor, and too little brains, and too great fear to poison any one! Say that I require it of him. Have your understood?
"A ship!" cried Peglace, who was on watch on deck. "A ship at last, and coming to shore!" He uttered the words in French, and they speedily brought to the deck his companion and his companion's fat wife. "A ship, sure enough," said the other Canadian, while his wife shed tears of joy. Josiah Crabtree had just been interviewing Mrs. Stanhope in the cabin.
After seeing and interviewing a dozen John Grahams without result, I at last lit upon a man of that name who presented a figure of such vivid unrest and showed such a desperate hatred of his fellows, that I began to entertain hopes of his being the person I was in search of.
