Sadie was sometimes tactful, but her anger was quick, and she disliked to hear her husband use Western idioms. Moreover she expected him to be polite. "Well," she said, "I guess that's a change; your dollars are generally in their wallets. But this game has to stop." Mossup, the man she did not like, turned in his chair. He was not sober and his manners were not polished at the best of times.
Understand, everybody, what Mrs. Charnock says goes." "Certainly," Wilkinson agreed. "Get off to bed Mossup; you'll have a swelled head all right to-morrow, as it is. I'll put out the light, Mrs. Charnock; guess I'll do it better than Bob." "Think I can't put out a common old lamp?" Charnock inquired. "Destroy the blamed thing 'fore I let it beat me."
Sadie silenced him imperiously. She understood his reference to Manitoba, where regulations dealing with liquor are strictly enforced. "I make the law at Keller's, and this hotel is not a gambling saloon. Mr. Wilkinson, cork that bottle and put it on the shelf." As Wilkinson obeyed, Mossup put his hand on his arm to hold him back, but Charnock interfered: "You sit down right now.
"You're not going to try," said Wilkinson, who hustled him and Mossup out of the room and then held the door open for Sadie. She thanked him, but felt that if she had ground to fear resentment, it was not Mossup's but his. Wilkinson had manners, but she knew he did not like to be robbed of an easy victim, and it was possible that he had let Bob win until he was drunk enough to be fleeced.
