Legal machinery was set in motion, meeting followed meeting, until Harrington cynically showed his hand and Quarrier smiled his rare smile; and the fight against Inter-County was on in the open, preceded by a furious clamour of charge and counter-charge in the columns of the daily press.
"It would be party suicide," they went about repeating. With such a man as Denzil Quarrier on the Radical side, they must have a new and a strong candidate! But all was confusion; no one could take the responsibility of acting. Already the affairs of the Liberals were in perfect crier, and it took but a day or two to decide even the minutiae of the campaign.

The listener was suffering. But for one thing, this offer would have tempted him strongly; but that one thing made it idle for him to think of what was proposed. To-day or to-morrow Quarrier would be exposed by his plotting enemies, and thereupon any bargain made with reference to the future would collapse.
Quarrier, passing the corridor, turned an expressionless visage toward him, and passed on with a nod almost imperceptible. "Quarrier!" he called, swept by a sudden impulse. Quarrier halted and turned. "Could you give me a moment here in my room? I won't detain you."
Health!" And he drank as a gentleman drinks, with a gay bow to Quarrier, and with death in his heart. Later, the irony of it struck him so grimly that he laughed; and Sylvia, beside him, looked up, dismayed to see the gray change in his face. "What is it?" she faltered, catching his eye; "why do you why are you so white?"
Walk down the block; and when you see him come in, give him five minutes." Her voice had become a little breathless, and her colour was high. Mortimer, too, seemed apprehensive. Things had suddenly begun to work themselves out too swiftly. "Do you think that's best?" he faltered, looking about for his hat. "Tell Merkle that nobody has been here, if Quarrier should ask him.

"Do you want to know my opinion of Quarrier? I've never told you. I don't usually talk about my dislikes. Do you want to know?" "Certainly," said Siward curiously. "Then, first of all, he is a sentimentalist."
Riding there, head bent, her pulses timing the slow pacing of her horse, she presently became aware, without looking up, that Quarrier was watching her. Dreams vanished. A perfectly unreasonable sense of being spied upon, of something stealthy about it all, flashed to her mind and was gone, leaving her grave and perplexed. What a strange suspicion! What an infernal inference!
You never heard of anybody in real life being entirely bad." "No, I didn't; and Quarrier isn't. For example, he is kind to valuable animals I mean, his own." "Good to animals! The bad man's invariable characteristic!" laughed Siward. "I'm kind to 'em, too. What else is he good to?" "Everybody knows that he hasn't a poor relation left; not one.
