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?
It is interesting to contrast the power obtained from this engine with that of recent Zeppelin air-ships, each of which is fitted with three or four engines, capable of producing over 800 horse-power. The first instance on record of an air-ship being steered back to its starting-point was that of La France. This air-craft was the invention of two French army captains, Reynard and Krebs.
The word absorption precisely expresses my meaning, for he seemed indeed to have become a part of his surroundings, an harmonious part. Presently he swung about and looked at me as though he had expected to find me there and greeted me by name. "Krebs!" I exclaimed. He smiled, and flung out his arm, indicating the scene.
Krebs's fingers closed over the paper, crumpling it. "Oh, then, you know about this," he said. He was putting the paper back into his pocket when I took it from him. But my adroitness, so carefully schooled, seemed momentarily to have deserted me. What should I say? It was necessary to decide quickly. "Don't you take rather a prejudiced view of this, Krebs?" I said.

Her eyes had the strange look of the cheerfulness that is intimately acquainted with sorrow. She did not seem surprised at seeing me. "I have come to ask about Mr. Krebs," I told her.
He called this the Cincinnatus theory: that any American, because he was an American, was fit for any job in the gift of state or city or government, from sheriff to Ambassador to Great Britain. Krebs substituted for this fallacy what may be called the doctrine of potentiality.
Yet it was my first intimation that my part in the legislation referred to was known to any save a select few. I blamed Krebs, and a hot anger arose within me against him. After all, what could they prove? "No, don't put him out," I said. "Let him come up here to the platform. I'll yield to him.
I began to wonder how I might warn Krebs, and presently decided to send him a note when he should have finished speaking but I couldn't make up my mind whether to put my name to the note or not. Of course I needn't have entered the hall at all: I might have sent in my note at the side door. I must have wished to see Krebs, to hear him speak; to observe, perhaps, the effect on the audience.
