"I request Mr. Moy's permission to revert to the alleged marriage, on the fourteenth of August, at Craig Fernie," he said. "Arnold Brinkworth! answer for yourself, in the presence of the persons here assembled.
"You speak English." It was not a question; it was a statement. Ling Foo shrugged. "Can do." "Cut out the pidgin. Your neighbour says you speak English fluently. At Moy's tea-house restaurant they say that you lived in California for several years." "Twelve," said Ling Foo with a certain dry humour. "Why didn't you admit me last night?" "Shop closed." "Where is it?"
One thing worth note Archie says, that when it was too late, he remembered that the under-clerk, Gadley, might not have gone home, and might have heard him explain that the letter had turned up." "Gadley? Why that's the landlord of the 'Three Pigeons!" exclaimed Rosamond. "It is Mr. Moy's house, and he supports him through thick and thin."
"Oh, anything, only don't take that." He thought a while, still keeping his arms about her, and then said: "How would Wheeler do?" "That's all right," said Carrie. "Well, then, Wheeler," he said. "I'll get the license this afternoon." They were married by a Baptist minister, the first divine they found convenient. At last the Chicago firm answered. It was by Mr. Moy's dictation.
His preference for Fitzgerald and Moy's Adams Street place was another yard off the same cloth. This was really a gorgeous saloon from a Chicago standpoint. Like Rector's, it was also ornamented with a blaze of incandescent lights, held in handsome chandeliers.
Moy's self-command and readiness were all gone. He sank back in his chair, with his hands over his face. The brothers looked at one another, fearing he might have a stroke; but he revived in a moment, yet with a totally different expression on his countenance. The keen, defensive look was gone, there was only something piteously worn and supplicating in the face, as he said
Ostensibly in the laundry business, and really a master workman in that line, the astute Chink had long since relinquished the labor over the tubs and ironing-board to Hop Wah, his silent partner. Ah Moy's chief interest in the establishment lay in its cavernous sub-cellar, where he conducted gaming tables and a smoking-'parlor' with flattering success.
"Have we had enough of assertion and counter-assertion, Sir Patrick, by this time?" asked Mr. Moy, with undiminished politeness. After first forcing Arnold with some little difficulty to control himself, Sir Patrick raised Mr. Moy's astonishment to the culminating point.
He's manager of Fitzgerald and Moy's." " What that?" said Carrie. " The finest resort in town. It's a way-up, smell place." Carrie puzzled a moment. She was wondering what Drouet had told him, what her attitude would be. " That's all right," said Drouet, feeling her thought. " He doesn't know anything. You're Mrs. Drouet now."
"That might have been done if I had not been fool enough to run away," said Archie; "having done so, the mass of people will only remember that there has been something against me, in spite of any justification. It is not worth while to blast Moy's character, and show poor old Proudfoot what a swindler his son was, just for that. The old man was good to me.
