And he makes converts, he sure does!" A moment later the mayor of Marion strode across the reception-hall. Lawyer Despeaux, giving critical attention, was not ready to affirm that Morrison's gait was that of a man who had broken a bank.
Now and then someone more shrewd than the others would write direct to Thayor, and on the strength of a formal business answer "You might inquire of my superintendent, Mr. William Holcomb," etc., etc., would use the document to pave the way for an introduction. One evening in June a rickety buck-board rattled up to Morrison's and inquired the way to Big Shanty.
He opened the door and beckoned to Bird, with an air of mysterious authority. "Young man! Come here!" Bird was used to the indulgence with which Bartley treated Morrison's tipsy freaks, and supposed that he had been called by his consent to witness another agreement to a rise in Hannah's wages.
The young man reddened, then quietly nodded. 'No one gets on without ambition. My ideas have been pretty clear for a long time. The English Romantic school have no more future, unless they absorb French drawing and French technique. When they have done that, they will do the finest work in the world. Morrison's astonishment increased.
Sweetsir, in the line of business, had had opportunity on previous occasions to observe the reaction of the Morrison's reticence. The adjutant-general did not bother with the elevator. He marched up the middle of the grand stairway. The State House was only partially illuminated with discreet stint of lights.
Curiously enough, the gleam of terror which Laverick caught in his white face reminded him of a similar look which he had seen in Morrison's eyes barely an hour ago. To gain time, Laverick moved across the room, took a cigarette from a box and lit it. A conviction was forming itself in his mind.
It was like the gnawing pain of useless apostasy, a sort of shame before his own betrayed nature; and in addition, he also suffered from plain, downright remorse. He deemed himself guilty of Morrison's death. A rather absurd feeling, since no one could possibly have foreseen the horrors of the cold, wet summer lying in wait for poor Morrison at home.
One felt that something more than Morrison's preposterous winnings had been involved in the clashes of railroads and cataclysms on the exchange which had for years past been his major recreation. Vogelstein, though evidently of coarser fibre, belonged to the same formidable breed. The mastodon, we must suppose, lacked much of the finesse of the rogue elephant of later evolution.
I am taking Mr. Morrison's place, you know, as agent for Mr. Henslow. I have never done anything of the sort before, and I have scarcely any claims to be considered a politician at all." "A very lucky change for us, Brooks," Mr. Bullsom declared, with the burly familiarity which he considered justified by his position as chairman of the Radical committee. "Poor Morrison was past the job.
Daunt has had half an hour for laying down the law to Morrison. And Daunt can do a whole lot of business in half an hour." "He'll only stir up Morrison's infernal scrapping spirit by laying down the law," objected Blanchard, sourly. Despeaux took both of the millman's coat lapels in his clutch.
