Then he went over a list of places throughout the county where George was to speak during the next week, and intimated dolefully that the committee could use a little more money, if it had it. He expressed it thus: "A few more contributions wouldn't put any strain to speak of on our pants' pockets. Anything more to be got out of Old Martin Jaffry? Don't he realize that blood's thicker than water?"
From their point of vantage in the second story of the Jaffry Building, the candidate and his manager could see that each sheet bore that horrid headline: "QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATE REMINGTON." The whole population of White water, it seemed to George, was crowded about that corner.
"I tell you, he'll denounce it from the platform. He'll never let this outrage " "Well, my dear," said the imperturbable E. Eliot, "when he denounces this plot he'll have to denounce Doolittle and Noonan, and probably Norton, and maybe his Uncle Martin Jaffry. Somebody is paying big money for this job!
Living up to the demand of the moment was George's forte. Indeed, there were those among his friends who felt that there were moments when George lived up to things too brightly and too beautifully. His Uncle Jaffry, for instance, had his openly skeptical moments. But George even lived up to his uncle's skepticism. He accepted his remarks with charming good humor.
"My God!" said George in amazement, and Martin Jaffry had responded fervently with "O Lord!"
All morning she had beaten off the invisible host with that courage worthy of a better cause with which women of her class confront the assaults of reality; and the sight of Martin Jaffry coming up the broad front walk met her like a warm waft of security. She flung open the door and met him with just that mixture of deference and relief which the situation demanded.
She knows that the saloon is her enemy, and she hits it; and Pat Noonan, seeing this rise of women investigating industry, makes common cause with Martin Jaffry and the whole employing class of Whitewater against the nosey interference of women. "And Pat Noonan is depending on you," continued Evans. "He expects you to rise.
Why, her father had been head of the Livingston Loomis-Ladd Collar Company, when that dreadful fire ! And she certainly knew that his uncle, Martin Jaffry, was the chief stockholder in the Jaffry-Bradshaw Company. What was the question in Genevieve's eyes?
Smith, Martin Jaffry spends all his evenings up at Remingtons' since they're back from their honeymoon? Why, he was telling me only last night it's for the joy of seeing that new little niece of his lording it over her well-oiled little household, where a few extra dropping in makes not one whit of difference."
Then, to make sure, we got hold of Mr. Jaffry, called on Mr. Ledbetter, who called in the business manager and your Uncle Martin told them that unless they printed the truth, and every bit of it, and printed it at once, he was going to put up the money to start an opposition paper that would print the truth.
