Not that Sumner was more aggressively egoistic than other Senators Conkling, for instance but that with him the disease had affected the whole mind; it was chronic and absolute; while, with other Senators for the most part, it was still acute. Perhaps for this very reason, Sumner was the more valuable acquaintance for a newspaper-man.
"Do you always" puff, puff "leave your rooms" puff, puff, puff "by the fire escape?" Kirby looked at him in silence, thinking furiously. He had been caught, after all. There were witnesses to prove he had gone up to his uncle's rooms. Here was another to testify he had left by the fire escape. The best he could say was that he was very unlucky. "Never mind, friend," the newspaper-man went On.
Rather not! Why?" "I refuse to be badgered by reporters. There were a number of adhesive young men who endeavoured to elicit from me my views on America while the boat was approaching the dock. I will not be subjected to this persecution again." "That'll be absolutely all right, uncle. There won't be a newspaper-man in the place."

Flack, to talk the whole thing over, and the desire to hold him to an account would play but a small part in the interview.

'O, there's nothing in that, said Festus bravely.
When he did, it was in a cool business tone. "I do not know what relation Mr. Van Ness may hold to you hereafter, if any," he said. "But he seems to me thoroughly honest and manly. He is the first professed reformer I ever saw who was not either subservient or aggressive to me, as a newspaper-man who did not ride his hobby." "I do not see him with your eyes," she said with a shrug.
He was crying: "Hombre, what a landing! You have saved lives.... Get out of the way, all you people!" Carl grinned and said: "Good to see you, Tony. What time did Tad Warren get here?
