I don't have to be knocked down and run over before I can realize that it's time to get out of the way." "You say it's enough for you; it won't be enough for Mr. McVickar," Gantry interposed. "If you could afford to drop out and I'm not admitting that you can he couldn't afford to let you."
Sue was executing a fancy step down the hall and her whole manner betokened the utmost excitement. "You look cheerful enough for all of us, Sue," Blue Bonnet answered. "What's happened to you?" "Billy's coming going to be here for dinner; so is his room-mate, Hammie McVickar." "Hammie! What a funny name!" "Hamilton! Funny little chap, too. Wait till you see him."
Having something more than a suspicion that Gantry had not properly passed the threat of exposure up to McVickar, he determined at once to seek an interview with the vice-president.
You wouldn't believe it then, and you don't want to believe it now; but that's because you don't happen to have a son of your own. When that boy of mine wired me that he was coming out here to get into the harness, I began to turn over the leaves of the record and look back a little. It was a mighty dirty record, McVickar.
McVickar has disappeared, and the end of the world has come," was the way he phrased it for the listening ear; but the word which came back must have been peculiarly heartening, since from that time on to an hour well past midnight Gantry figured hilariously as the self-constituted host of any and all who would be entertained. At Wartrace Hall there was also rejoicing, albeit of a quieter sort.
I telegraphed the boy this afternoon, telling him to throw up his job in Boston and come out here. If he comes within a reasonable time he will be legally a citizen of the State before election. You said we didn't have anybody but Rankin to run for attorney-general. By Heavens, Hardwick, I'll show you if we haven't!" Mr. Hardwick McVickar was not of those who fight as one beating the air.
McVickar sprang out of his chair with an agility surprising in so heavy a man, crossed to the open door of the room where his clerical force was at work, and slammed it shut. When he returned, he was no longer the confident tyrant of foregone conclusions. "Where are those papers now, Blount?" he inquired.
If you don't look out, I'm going to have that young fellow fighting on our side before we're through." At this the light in the gray eyes flamed fiercely, and the ex-cattle-king took the two strides needful to place him before McVickar. "Don't you try that, McVickar; I give you fair warning!" he grated, his deep-toned voice rumbling like the burr of grinding wheels.
If you wasn't on the inside of all the insides you wouldn't be sitting here pulling the strings for McVickar. The rate is a blanket; it covers all shipments." Blount nodded and his apparent coolness was no just measure of the inward fires the crooked lumber-king was kindling. "You interest me greatly, Mr. Hathaway. I am a little new to these things as you intimated a few moments ago.
None the less, he made a final effort to break down the conclusion that Gantry was relentlessly thrusting upon him. "In all our talks, Dick there haven't been very many of them my father has taken, or seemed to take, a different line. I don't recall anything specific just now, but he has given me the impression that he hasn't much in common with Mr. McVickar and his methods. To hear him talk "
