"No, certainly not. But I am assured that at least seven or eight hundred will be made up during the year. This has always been done for Mr. Pelton and will be done for me, if I accept the call." "That might do, if we practised close economy. But why do they not make the salary seven or eight hundred dollars at once?
"An' there ain't nothin' on the instrument board but letters." "That's right," Ray agreed. "I saw the book; no pictures in it at all." "Well, of all the quarter-witted stupidity! The confounded imbeciles at that agency " Pelton started to his feet. Claire unlocked the table and slid it out of his way. Ray, on a run, started for the lift and vanished.
"I thought I was Literate enough to spot Literacy in anybody else," she said. "No, I never even suspected " Somebody rapped on the door. "Miss Pelton," the sergeant's voice called. "Visiphone call from Literates' Hall." Prestonby smiled. "I'll take it, if you don't mind," he said. "I'm acting-chief-Literate here, now, I suppose." She followed him as he went out into Pelton's office.
However much he might arraign those who had been the agents of his fall, he knew in his heart that the fault had been his own. Norma Pelton, tensely self-repressed, spoke now. "How can you do this, sir?" "I can't do it so long as you hold me for an enemy, ma'am. I'm ready to cry quits with your husband and try a new deal. If I injured him he tried to even things up.
And have you seen the telecast we've been using a view of it, with a semantically correct spoken paraphrase?" Lancedale nodded. "And I've also noticed that those posters have been acquiring different obscene crayon-drawings, too. That's just typical of the short-range Joyner-Graves mentality. Why, they've made more votes for Pelton than he's made for himself.
"And you seem to have financed all the rest of the trip," he said with a rueful laugh. "I thought, when you suggested that we should travel together, I would be the one to take care of you, but it has been the other way around. Oh, Lou, I've so much to say to you when we reach our journey's end!" They arrived at Pelton before dark and found Mrs.
"You mean, starting a rift between Pelton and the Consolidated Illiterates' Organization, which we can widen after the election?" "No. I hadn't thought of it that way, Frank," Lancedale smiled. "It's an idea worth keeping in mind, and we'll exploit it, later. What I was thinking about was the more immediate problem of the election "
"I left Ray in my office, with Doug Yetsko," he said. "I can't understand " "Maybe Yetsko got a tip that they were coming and got Ray out of the school," Cardon suggested. "I hope he took him home." He caught himself just in time to avoid mentioning the platoon of Literates' guards at the Pelton home, which he was not supposed to know about.
This exposure doesn't help us any at best. If we still tried to carry Pelton, we should last about as long as a snowball in hell." "Shall I send for him?" "No. He'll be here as quick as he can cover the ground. Have him shown in as soon as he comes. And Steve did Harley arrive on the eight-thirty this morning?" "Yes. He is putting up at the Mesa House.
The committee reported that it had examined seven witnesses, Yesler, Roper, Landor, James, Reedy, Kellor, and Ward, and that each of then had testified that former Congressman Pelton or others had approached him on behalf of Warner; that an agreement had been made by which the eight votes being cast for Bascom would be give to Warner in consideration of $300,000 in cash, to be held in escrow by Yesler, and that the committee now had the said package, supposed to contain the bills for that amount, in its possession, and was prepared to turn it over to the legislature for examination.
