"Because you want to, or because Chet Pelton makes you?" "Mr. Pelton never interferes with his employees' political convictions," the clerk replied loyally. Saying nothing, the customer took the bottle, swung it by the neck, and smashed it over the clerk's head, knocking him senseless. "That's all that rotgut's good for," the customer said, jumping over the counter.
Then, to make sure, he called Pelton's store, talking for a while to the police sergeant Cardon had mentioned. By the time he was finished, the door opened and Yetsko ushered Ray Pelton in. "What's happened?" the boy asked. "Doug told me that the Senator ... my father ... had another heart attack." "Yes, Ray. I don't believe he's in any great danger. He's at the store, resting in his office."
"Hey, Sis, is this real cow-made butter?" "Yes. Now go ahead and eat." As though Ray needed encouragement, Chester Pelton thought, watching his son use a spoon the biggest one available to dump gobs of honey on his toast. While he was helping himself to bacon and eggs, he could hear Ray's full-mouthed exclamation: "This is real bee-comb honey, too!" That pleased him.
There will be a segment dam, with flood gates; about an eighth of a mile of piping; a Pelton wheel, boxed in; a generator speeded down; a two-horse-power storage battery; wiring and connections made with present lighting system in house; lodge; stables and garage; and the thing is done if it works smoothly.
The coolness of his even voice maddened the harassed Pelton. "So I'm to get burnt drawing your chestnuts out of the fire, am I? You're going to stand back and let my career be sacrificed, are you? By Gad, seh, I'll show you whether I'll be your catspaw," screamed the congressman. "Use your common sense, Pelton, and don't shriek like a fish-wife," ordered Ridgway sharply.

In part, it has been due to the high fees charged for Literate services, and to what seems, to many, to be monopolistic practices. But behind that is a general attitude of anti-intellectualism which is our heritage from the disastrous wars of the Twentieth and Twenty-first Centuries. Chester Pelton has made himself the spokesman of this attitude.
Our relations are at an end, seh," quavered Pelton as he vanished into the outer once and beat a hasty retreat to the elevator. Ridgway returned to his chair, laughing ruefully. "I couldn't help it, Steve. He would have it. I suppose I've made one more enemy." "A nasty one, too. He'll stick at nothing to get even." "We'll draw his fangs while there is still time.
It has come to my notice, as it has to Literate Graves', that this young woman, Claire Pelton, is Literate to a degree that would be a credit to any Literate First Class, and her brother can match his Literacy creditably against that of any novice in our Fraternities.
Pelton. He's had another of those heart attacks " Cardon swore and ran for the descending escalator, running down the rotating spiral to the executive floor and jumping off into the gawking mob of Illiterate clerks crowded in the open doors of Pelton's office.
