At first I was simply grieved over this loss to myself and to the golfing profession in general. Then I noticed the date. McQuade died the very morning of the day of our last match. Do you see?" I shook my head. All I could see was a moonfaced, owl-eyed old party who was starin' at me with an eager, batty look. "No," says I. "I don't get the connection.
Inside of half a minute Dowd was off in high gear, tellin' him about that wonderful game he played with Old Hickory when he was under the control of the spirit of the great Sandy McQuade. At first Schott looks kind of dazed, like a kid who's been foolin' with a fire hydrant wrench and suddenly finds he's turned on the high pressure and can't turn it off.
It was not often that a man like this one entered the office of Daniel McQuade and Company, General Contractors. "I have an appointment with Mr. McQuade," said Warrington pleasantly; "would you mind announcing me?" "Just a moment," answered the girl, rising and entering the private office. She returned at once. "Mr. McQuade will see you." Warrington walked quietly into the lion's den.
This was to be the end of all her dreams. They crossed the street without speaking. He helped her down this curb and up that. All this excitement lessened his own pain temporarily. But who had written to Patty, if not McQuade? He could block any future move of McQuade's but this other anonymous writer, whom Patty declared she knew? He went on doggedly. One battle at a time.
He proceeded to do to his receipt exactly what Morrissy had done to his burn it. So long as Morrissy believed that McQuade held his signature, so long might Morrissy be trusted. It was only an idea, but it proved that the boss knew his lieutenants tolerably well. "The blackleg would sell the tomb off his father's grave," he mused, brushing the ashes from his clothes.
She had always scorned to listen to the truth about people, had she? And well she might! Mrs. Franklyn-Haldene's lips tightened. Those friends of hers who had doubted would presently doubt no more. She hadn't the slightest idea how McQuade would use his information; she didn't even care, so long as he used it. She grew indignant. The idea of that woman's posing as she did!
He was a king over frogs which had changed much since Aesop's time, for now they let well enough alone. Nevertheless, things were going from bad to worse. Three terms are likely to cause a man to grow careless or indifferent, and Donnelly was making frequent bad breaks. The senator, ever watchful, believed he saw a chance to sweep McQuade off the board.
We all commit blunders at one time or another, and McQuade had just committed his. "That's all, Morrissy. I think I can trust you fully. I mean no harm, boy; 'tis only self-preservation." "Oh, so long as your name's on it there's no kick coming from me; only I never saw you do such a fool thing before. Anything else to-day?" "No. You might keep tab on that fool Bolles.
The young man was no other than Thomas McQuade, ex-coachman, discharged for drunkenness one month before, and now reduced to the grimy ranks of the one-night bed seekers. If you live in smaller New York you must know the Van Smuythe family carriage, drawn by the two 1,500-pound, 100 to 1-shot bays. The carriage is shaped like a bath-tub.
This phase of the situation was altogether too unexpected and embarrassing for Mrs. Franklyn-Haldene to accept it readily. "I have heard words about an anonymous letter; I have heard names, McQuade, your brother, his wife, Warrington, and my wife. I should like to know " "Franklyn!" his wife appealed. To be humiliated before this impudent chit of a girl! "Patience, my dear."
