"Bully for you!" Babcock came all the way down to her home to offer her his congratulations, and to tender her what assistance she needed in tools or money. The Union, in their deliberations, insisted that it was the "raised bid" which had ruined the business with McGaw and for them. It was therefore McGaw's duty to spare no effort to prevent her signing the contract.
The stick dropped from Lathers's hand: "Well, who said I did? What have I got to do with your" "You've got enough to do with 'em, you and your friend McGaw, to want 'em to starve. Have I ever hurt ye that ye should try an' sneak me business away from me?
Most of the officers engaged in the expedition were promoted, but on two only Lord Gifford and Sergeant McGaw of the 42nd was the Victoria Cross bestowed, an honour which, by the unanimous voice of all who witnessed their behaviour, they richly deserved.
The village post-office had several other letter-boxes, faced with glass, so that the contents of each could be seen from the outside. Two of these contained similar envelopes, looking equally important, one being addressed to McGaw. When he had called for his mail, the close resemblance between the two envelopes seen in the letter-boxes set McGaw to thinking.
At the moment the funds of the Union were too low for aggressive measures. Were McGaw, however, to make a contribution of two hundred dollars to the bank account in order to meet possible emergencies, something might be done. All this was duly inscribed in the books of the committee, that is, the last part of it, and upon McGaw's promising to do what he could toward improving the funds.
He's app'inted ag'in." Dempsey caught up his hat and hurriedly left the room, followed by Quigg and Crimmins. McGaw, he said to himself, as he ran downstairs, must be blind drunk, not to come to the meeting, " him! What if he gives everything away!" he added aloud. "This news is awful," said the president. "I am very sorry for Mrs. Grogan and her children she was a fine woman.
It'll fix McGaw dead to rights, an' ther' won't be no squealin' after it's done." Here he peered around the edge of one of O'Leary's drawn window-shades, and waited until Cully had passed the barroom, secured his mail, and started for home, his uninterrupted song filling the air. Then he opened the blind very cautiously, and beckoned to Billy.
The throng parted, The men near the table stood still. An ominous silence suddenly prevailed. Daniel McGaw twisted his head, turned ghastly white, and would have fallen from his chair but for Dempsey.
"Send your papers up, Tom, I'll go bond any day in the year for you, and for any amount; but I'll get even with McGaw for that lie he told me about the dock, if it takes my bank account."
I'll git inside the rail, so's to be near the table." When the two squeezed back through the throng again into the board-room, even the staircase was packed. McGaw pulled off his fur cap and struggled past the rail, bowing to the president. The justice's brother stood outside, within reach of McGaw's hand.
