Parks, the Republican candidate, did not denounce Mr. MacGuire, the Democratic candidate. Republican and Democratic speakers alike expended their breath in lashing Mr. Krebs and the Citizens Union. It is difficult to record the fluctuations of my spirit.
"It's more than that," I retorted. Grierson regarded me piercingly. "Well, we'll put a crimp in him, all right," he said, with a laugh. I was in an unenviable state of mind when he left me. I had an impulse to send for Miss McCoy and ask her if she had understood what Krebs was "driving at," but for reasons that must be fairly obvious I refrained.
I hurried into the street, and on the sidewalk stopped face to face with Perry Blackwood. "Hugh!" he exclaimed. "What are you doing here?" "I came to inquire for Krebs," I answered. "I've seen him." "You you've been talking to him?" Perry demanded. I nodded. He stared at me for a moment with an astonishment to which I was wholly indifferent. He did not seem to know just how to act.
Instantly I regretted my retreat, I would have gone back, but lacked the courage; and I strayed unhappily for hours, now haunted by that look of Krebs, now wondering what the remarkably sane-looking and informal clergyman whose presence dominated the little room had been talking about.
Would not the attempt to cut loose from the consequences of that mistake in my individual case have been futile? But there was a remedy for it the remedy Krebs had suggested: I might still prevent my children from making such a mistake, I might help to create in them what I might have been, and thus find a solution for myself. My errors would then assume a value.
And the lawyer who defends such cases, whatever his personal feelings may be, cannot afford to be swayed by them. He must take the larger view." "Why didn't you tell me about it before?" she asked. "Well, I didn't think it of enough importance these things are all in the day's work." "But Mr. Krebs? How strange that he should be here, connected with the case!" I made an effort to control myself.
"I guess there's no danger of your ever being mayor, Judd," Tallant observed, with a somewhat uneasy jocularity. "I guess there isn't, Judah," replied the boss, quickly, but with a peculiar violet flash in his eyes. "They won't ever make you mayor, either, if I can help it. And I've a notion I can. I'd rather see Krebs mayor."
A troubled chord had been struck within me. "Sure," said Tom. "What did you come for?" Mr. Krebs persisted. "To sow my wild oats," said Tom. "I expect to have something of a crop, too." For some reason I could not fathom, it suddenly seemed to dawn on Mr. Krebs, as a result of this statement, that he wasn't wanted.
Our resentment was directed, not so much against Commissioner Greenhalge as against Krebs. It is curious how keen is the instinct of men like Grierson, Dickinson, Tallant and Scherer for the really dangerous opponent. Who the deuce was this man Krebs?
I've been around a little with mother and sometimes the women wouldn't accept any help from us; they said they'd rather starve than take charity, that they had the right to work. But father couldn't run the mills at a loss could he?" "Certainly not," I replied. "And then there's Mr. Krebs, of whom we were speaking at supper, and who puts all kinds of queer notions into their heads.
