"Name o' Skene, from Pennsylvanya," said the man, "and by the Lord God ye shall have the fort." "You looked for us?" said Clark. "Faith, never less," said the Pennsylvanian.

The Pennsylvanian drew Stevens into committee room 6 and, ordering the stenographer to leave, drew up chairs where both could sit, facing the door. "We've thrown dust in that old gander's eyes," whispered Peabody.
Well, I suppose you want all the profits for yourself." Turning to Stevens, who had just entered, the Pennsylvanian cried: "Do you but listen to our suddenly good friend Langdon. He wants to be the only man to make money out of the naval base. He won't listen to any other member of the naval committee making a cent out of it. Why, he " "Great God, sir!" exclaimed Langdon.
