I'm sorry you're mixed up in it." "Saleratus Bill?" hinted Bob. Baker's humorous expression returned. "What do you take me for?" he grinned. "No, that's Oldham's bodyguard. Thinks he needs a bodyguard these days. That's what comes from having a bad conscience, I tell him.
The young lady returned from the private office looking a little perplexed. "Did you have an appointment with Mr. Oldham?" she said. "He doesn't seem to recall it." "Why, certainly," said Roger. "It was arranged by telephone on Saturday afternoon. Mr. Oldham's secretary called me up." "Have I got your name right?" she asked, showing a slip on which she had written Mr. Miflin.
For the first time in public Oldham's countenance expressed a livelier emotion than that of cynical interest. His mouth fell open and his eyeglasses dropped off. He stared at Bob as though that young man had suddenly sprung into visibility from clear atmosphere. Bob surveyed him grimly. "Delighted to see me, aren't you?" he remarked. A slow anger surged up within him.
The agent used none of the circumspection Baker had considered necessary, but rode openly into camp and asked for Bob. The latter, remembering Oldham's reputed antagonism to Baker, could not but admire the convenience of the arrangement. The lank and sinister figure of Saleratus Bill was observed to accompany that of the land agent, but the gun man, at a sign from his principal; did not dismount.
"I reckon you're mad; I reckon that boy man-handled you something scand'lous." At the words Oldham's face became still more congested.

Habersham, mentioned by Penfield as one of Marcia Oldham's most loyal friends, and Hayden was Tremendously interested in discovering in her the dark woman with the rose-colored gown and the cerise wings in her hair with whom Marcia had talked that night at the opera.
"Well, I've saved you some trouble in your next case. Here are certified copies of the documents for it, copied at Sacramento, and subscribed to before a notary. Of course, you can verify them; but you'll find them accurate." He handed them to Bob, who took them, completely puzzled. Oldham's next speech enlightened him.
Petrock is in the centre of the city, and was one of the oldest and most important, being one of the nineteen churches to which William I ordered the provost to pay a silver penny yearly. The church was enlarged on the south side during the fifteenth century, and in the following century the Jesus aisle was added, when Thomas Chard, acting as Bishop Oldham's suffragan, reconsecrated the church.
"Oh, yes. I never happened to run across him. Don't know him at all." Bob put down Oldham's manifest hatred to pettiness of disposition. Even from Merker, the philosophic storekeeper, Bob obtained scant comfort. "Men like you, with ability, youth, energy," said Merker, "producing nothing, just conserving, saving.
