I felt I had a right to ask something from her in return for what I did for you. I know that sounds rotten, but you'll understand how it is. Colonel Jolson wants his brother-in-law, Blakeley, to have the place, but I'm entitled to it, and she has promised to fix it for me. If I go up, you go, too; that's why I was worried when this Clifford party appeared."
But no, it is devoted to a strange cult called the Religion of Business, which meets there on Sundays. Before that, there was a Korean congress there. There is a lovely green room in this theatre, but not much long green in the box office. Philadelphia prefers Al Jolson to Hank Ibsen. We have our tincture of vie de Bohème, though, in our little French table d'hôte, a thoroughly atmospheric place.
"Now, there is nothing cinched yet, understand," the Acting Superintendent cautioned him. "We're all on probation, but if we make good, I think we'll stick." "I'll do my best to fill your shoes." "And I have the inside track on Blakeley, in spite of Colonel Jolson, so I'm not alarmed. The break came sooner than I expected, and now that we chaps are in control it's the chance of our lifetimes."
He seems to think he can run it all right without me, and we've only been speaking over the telephone lately." "One of the strongest forces the Government had to combat in putting through the canal appropriations was the railroads. Colonel Jolson has no reason to love your father." "Yes, but I don't object to this canal. I think it must be a rather good idea." Mrs.
It is ordered that on the entrance of His Excellency the audience will spontaneously rise and break into three successive enthusiastic cheers. Mr. Al Jolson will remain kneeling on the stage till the Gubernatorial All Highest has seated itself. Mr. The Governor, accompanied by his military staff, will then leave, and the performance will close.
"There will be no to-morrow about it," Mrs. Cortlandt exclaimed, positively. "If you cannot arrange the bail yourself, my husband will take up the matter with the Zone Government, and Colonel Jolson will call upon the President of the republic within an hour. He is waiting word from us now." Senor Ramon Alfarez became suddenly galvanized.
They would have a defence all prepared. Besides, if it's to be a fight we must have all the weapons possible and this affair may prove a good one. Anyhow, you mustn't ask a favor of him at this time; he must ask, not you." The telephone rang, and the speaker snatched the receiver from its hook. "Hello! Colonel Jolson, I'm very glad I caught you. This is Mrs. Cortlandt.
She struggled a moment for composure, then went on: "It was I who promoted you to Runnels' position he'll tell you that. It was I who put ideas of advancement into his head. I fostered this quarrel between Jolson and the Superintendent, and I've used Runnels to break trail for you. Why? Ask yourself why! Oh, Kirk," she cried, "you mustn't marry that girl! I'll make you a great man!"
Up a flight of stairs he was escorted, his pulses quickening with apprehension, down a long corridor, and into a large room, where he saw Runnels, Colonel Jolson, Anson, Clifford, a dozen or more Panamanian officials, and he stopped in his tracks as his eyes fell upon a huge, white-crowned figure that came to meet him.
"She's wonderful," he remarked a moment later, as he and Kirk descended the hotel steps together. "She told Colonel Jolson he'd just have to find you a position, and I have been delegated to show you about." "You don't say. I supposed there were plenty of openings." "Not good ones. However, she usually gets what she wants. If I'm not a good guide, you must put it down to inexperience."
