They were that I had made a deal with Langhorne by which I agreed to support him in his fight to get something in the contracts of the new city planning scheme in return for his support of the part of the organization he could swing to me in the election, another lie." "It might have been Langhorne himself, playing the wolf," I suggested. Kennedy had reached for the telephone book.
The much-read boy was a little shocked, no doubt disturbed in his secret soul that the poet so far above any other poet that was to be seen about the world in those days should not have known that verse: though indeed men better read than Burns might have been excused for their want of acquaintance with a minor poet like Langhorne; but how true was the indignant observation, half angry, that with "twenty times the ability" it was Allan Ramsay and the still less important unfortunate young Fergusson to whom Burns looked up!
"Haven't you any other friend that you could suggest?" "Apparently none whose testimony would be valuable." Jervis Langdon held out his hand. "You have at least one," he said. "I believe in you. I know you better then they do." The engagement of Samuel Langhorne Clemens and Olivia Lewis Langdon was ratified next day, February 4, 1869.
"If you will stop to think a moment, his shafts have been levelled quite as much at discrediting Langhorne as yourself. He might hope to kill two birds with one stone and incidentally save himself." "Perhaps," assented Kennedy carefully. "Surely we should take some steps to protect ourselves from his impostures," hastened Carton.
CLEMENS, SAMUEL LANGHORNE.

He was considering the importance of the situation. For, as I have said, it was at the height of the political campaign in which Carton had been renominated independently by the Reform League of which, more later. "You don't think that Langhorne is really in the inner ring, then?" questioned Craig. "No, not yet."
"I think," answered Professor Langhorne, of Georgia, "that this is owing to a partial administration of law in meting out punishment to colored offenders. I know red-handed murderers who walk in this Republic unwhipped of justice, and I have seen a colored woman sentenced to prison for weeks for stealing twenty-five cents.
They received sentence of death, and were executed, persisting to their last breath in the most solemn, earnest, and deliberate, though disregarded protestations of their innocence. The next trial was that of Langhorne, an eminent lawyer, by whom all the concerns of the Jesuits were managed.
He easily learned that at such times Sonny was more than usually wherever Ida chanced to be at dances, or dinners, or moonlight swimming parties, or, the very afternoon he had flatly pleaded rush of affairs as an excuse not to join Lee and Langhorne Jones and Jack Holstein in a bridge battle at the Pacific Club that afternoon he had played bridge at Dora Niles' home with three women, one of whom was Ida.
