I shall die without you! Come home to me, and save me! I love you! I love you! I love you! I love !" David Lockwin has fainted. The glasses chink, and heavy feet tramp on soft carpets, making a muffled sound. "'Scuse me!" says a thick-voiced banqueter in the hall. "I thought it was my hat! Hooray! 'Scuse me! I know it's pretty late. Whoop! 'Scuse me!"
So I guess I sing to him an hour two hours I can't tell when he comes to. 'Mr. Corkey, says that feller says Mr. Lockwin 'you don't get nothing; You don't get the light at Ozaukee. "'There ain't no lamp at Ozaukee, says I. "'That's what the First High said, says he. So you see I was whipsawed. I get nothing." "P-p-politics!" interprets the mascot." "Perhaps I understand," says the widow.
Lockwin walks as in a dream. To-morrow he goes to Washington. "Politics is hard," he says, but he does not feel it. He feels nothing. He feels at rest. Nothing is hard. He is weak from an illness, of which he knows little. He has never been in this infant-room. Many a time he has left Davy at the door. The pastor's wife is the shepherdess. She has a long, white crook.
If he have served Esther Lockwin with rare personal devotion, it cannot be denied that it has piqued many other beautiful, eligible and desirable women. He can well support the air of a disinterested friend. The ladies generally bewail his absence from their society.
It is worth going to see. Society waits with becoming patience. "Inasmuch as the prominent citizens saw fit to render Esther's sorrow conspicuous," says Mrs. Grundy, "it is perfectly decent that she should remain in complete retirement." Nevertheless notice is secretly served on the entire matrimonial world. Esther Lockwin will soon be worth not a penny less than five million dollars!
Lockwin must listen with attention to a plan by which the central committee of the Sodalified Assembly can be packed with republicans at the annual election, to take place the next Sunday. This will enable Lockwin to carry the district in case he should get the nomination. To show a deep interest in the party and none in himself must arouse popular idolatry.
David Lockwin had spent nearly $200,000 to go to Congress, it is stated. "Infamous!" cries Robert Chalmers, and vows he is glad he is out of a world so base. He puts forth for books. Search as he may, he cannot find the editions that have grown dear to David Lockwin. He cannot abstain from more purchases of Chicago papers. They are familiar like the books in David Lockwin's library at Chicago.
We can live without him, but we cannot live without Esther. Ah that Tarpion! that base Tarpion! Probably he intends to marry her! It is none too soon to pull this bell. Now David Lockwin will enter, never to be driven forth. He will enter among his books. Never mind his books. It is she, SHE, SHE! Till death part them SHE is his.
Didn't it give you your opportunity?" The boy returns. The man sits on his bed and muses: "How differently things go in this world! See how easily Lockwin fell into all this luck! See how I have hewn the wood and drawn the water!" Something of disquiet takes possession of the bride-groom. "I'm awfully tired of consolatory epistles. I must keep Esther from being a hen. She's dreadfully in earnest."
There are two men within him one is David Lockwin dead, the other is David Lockwin living. Once more the eminent man who is dead seizes the maddened lover who is living and prevents a disaster. Love this house as he may, therefore, David Lockwin must avoid it until he can control himself.
