"Two small detachments collide, and each sends back for re-enforcements, and the next thing anybody knows, there's a full-size battle going on where nobody wants to fight one. We're going to fight our main battle at the head of the escalators from the twelfth floor." "You've done this sort of work before, Literate," Coccozello grinned. "You talk like a storm-troop captain. What else?"
All Graves told me to do was fix up a situation, using my own judgment, that would provoke a Literate strike and force either Claire or Frank here to betray Literacy. But I had no idea that it would involve a riot like this. If I had, I'd have stood on Literates' ethics and refused to have any part in it." "That's about how I thought it would be," Cardon nodded.
Literate President Morehead, an amiable and ineffective maiden aunt in trousers, pounded frantically with his gavel. "Order!" he fairly screamed. "This is disgraceful!" "You can say that again!" Brigade commander Chernov boomed. "What do you people over on the right think this is; an Illiterates' Organization Political Action meeting?" "Vote! Vote!" Cardon bellowed.
Indeed, some Western observers of the Orient, particularly colonial officials, have been so much impressed by the political and social dangers arising from the existence of this "literate proletariat" of semi-educated failures that they are tempted to condemn the whole venture of Western education in the East as a mistake.
I have read, I remember also, in a very literate and eloquent author, that Tyridates, King of Armenia, in the days of Nero, made a voyage to Rome, where he was received with great honour and solemnity, and with all manner of pomp and magnificence.
I have projected a plan for the alleviation of the state of these authors who are not blessed with a patrimony. The trade connected with literature is carried on by men who are usually not literate, and the generality of the publishers of books, unlike all other tradesmen, are often the worst judges of their own wares.
Literate President Morehead banged his gavel and, in a last effort, started the call bell clanging. "The motion has been presented and seconded; the amendment has been presented and seconded. It will now be put to a vote!" "Roll call!" Cardon demanded. Four or five other voices, from both sides of the chamber, supported him. "The vote will be by roll call," Literate President Morehead agreed.
"Ray," he said, "how would you like to be a real white-smock Literate?" Ray's eyes opened. "You think I'm good enough?" "Good enough to be a novice, to start with. And I don't think you'll stay a novice long." Claire looked at him inquiringly, saying nothing. "You, too, honey," he said. "Frank fixed it all up. You and Ray will be admitted to the Fraternities, this afternoon.
The Corporal of the Keys was a clerk in the house of Ticknor & Field, the great Boston publishers, before he became a soldier; and was disposed to show every consideration and indulgence to one whom he was pleased to consider a brother of the Literate Guild. The under-superintendent Donnelly by name treated one with a benevolence quite paternal.
"Well, whattaya know; that guy was plugging for you!" Ray said. "And see how he managed to slide in that bit about corruption, right before his stooge handed him that bulletin?" "I guess every Literate has his price," Chester Pelton said. "I wonder how much of my money that cost. I always wondered why Frank Cardon sponsored Mongery. Now I know. Mongery can be had."
