Orchard had left the office and gone out into the country for the afternoon. Business, they never go to the country for pleasure. So I comfortably forgot all about the electric lights. "But Monday afternoon, Mr. Nesbitt happened to remark that his family would not move in until Wednesday. Then I remembered. "I said, 'What is the idea in having the electric lights burning down there?
"Yes, sir," answered my "superior officer" humbly enough, touching his cap and looking up at Commander Nesbitt. "Want me, sir?" "Yes," said the other, "There's something wrong with the bunt of that tops'l, I think. It does not appear to me quite ship-shape somehow or other, Mr Larkyns. Go up to the maintop and see what's the matter with it at once."
"'Call up Ben Moore and see if he can do it. "I looked him straight in the eye. 'Nothing doing, I said, with dignity. 'If you want any more garbage haulers, you can get them. "I sat down to the typewriter. Mr. Orchard nearly shut himself up in a big law book in his effort to keep from meeting anybody's eye. But Nesbitt went to the phone and called Ben Moore.
"My dear lassie," said Mrs Nesbitt, gravely, "it is in vain to go back to that now. It has been all ordered, and it has been ordered for good, too. The Lord has many ways of doing things; and if He has taken this way of quickly ripening your little sister for heaven, why should it grieve us?" "But," said Effie, eagerly, "you did not gather from the letter that she was so very ill?
Nesbitt was just going to court, so he told me to call up a garbage man and get the rubbish removed. "I didn't know the garbage men from the ministers, and they weren't classified in the directory. So I went to Mr. Orchard, a youngish sort of man, very pleasant, but slicker than Nesbitt himself. "I said, not too amiably, 'Who are the garbage haulers in this town?
It's making a good deal of talk." "But King's not a newspaper man," retorted Broderick, puzzled. "He's a banker. How's he going to run a journal? That takes money experience." "Quien sabe?" Richardson vouchsafed. "Sinton of Selover and Sinton's his financial backer. Jim Nesbitt helps with the writing. You know Nesbitt, don't you? Slings a wicked pen. But King writes his own editorials I'm told.
"She's hull down on the weather bow!" "Where away, my man?" shouted Commander Nesbitt, who, at the same moment, came up on the poop and was scanning the horizon on his own account. "How does she bear, eh?" "Two points off the weather bow, sir," replied the lookout from the foretopsail yard.
She did not wish to hear more. Perhaps she was foolish, she thought. Good Mrs Nesbitt, who was not likely to be unjust to Christie, and who was ready to sympathise with the elder sister in what seemed almost like the breaking-up of the family, said something of the same kind to her once, as they were walking together from the Sabbath-school.
There were some in the Legislature who were lawyers, and who conscientiously believed that no one so young as Nesbitt was could be sufficiently matured mentally to properly discharge the duties of the profession. These men themselves were naturally dull, and ignorantly supposed all minds, like their own, were weak in youth, and could only be strengthened and enlightened by time and cultivation.
At the joint hearing, which was arranged almost immediately after the Legislature met, John C. Anderson, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court; W. D. Nesbitt, State chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee; ex-Senator Frank S. White; Judge S. D. Weakley, legal adviser of the Governor, and others spoke for ratification.
