I used to laugh, sometimes, when I was alone, at the bitter humor of it all. It was like a Duchess novel come to life. His work began to show slipshod in spots. They talked to him about it and he laughed at them. Then, one day, he left them in the ditch on the big story of the McManus indictment, and the whole town scooped him, and the managing editor told him that he must go.
Behind the curtain of this casual conversation had been enacted a melodrama as intensely vital and elemental as any of Shakespeare's tragedies, for the day Dawkins had fired Katie O'Connell "for reasons," as she said and told her to go back where she came from or anywhere she liked for that matter, so long as she got out of her sight, Katie's brother Shane in the back room of McManus' gin palace gave Red McGurk for the same "reasons" a certain option and, the latter having scornfully declined to avail himself of it, had then and there put a bullet through his neck.
"I'm in favour of making it so raw that he'll take his horses and go somewhere else. Look at what he did last season. Got Al Engle and a lot of other people ruled off, didn't he? Raised particular hell all over the circuit, the psalm-singing old hypocrite!" "He's got a fine, fat chance to get anybody ruled off around this track," interrupted Curly McManus. "These judges ain't reformers.
I don't know just who they are yet, but I'm on their trail, and I'll find them or abjure the name of 'The' McManus. I'm goin' out right now to find them." Well, "The" kept his word as far as goin' out and findin' the traitors was concerned. He found them all right and put himself at their head. Oh, no! He didn't have to go far to look for them.
