All the glory of the victory he absorbed as his due. In the popular opinion, Eaton was as a farthing-candle to a great electric search-light in comparison with Ridgway. "He trusts me," the tempted man urged weakly. He was slipping, and he knew it, even while he assured himself he would never betray his chief. "He would sell you out to-morrow if it paid him. And what is he but a robber?
Deny it, of course, then lie low and give the public time to forget it." "Do you mean that I should withdraw from the senatorial race?" "That's entirely as you please, colonel, but I'm afraid you'll find your support will slip away from you." "Do you mean that YOU won't support me, seh?" Ridgway locked his hands behind his head and leaned back in his chair. "We've got to face facts, colonel.
"I've watched Ridgway ever since he arrived here last spring, and I will give you his recipe for success. He didn't fall overboard into a second-rate club as soon as he got here and rub his brushes on his coat-sleeve to look artistic. Not much!
They made short work of all in sight, threw out a couple of hundred men who burned a bridge and tore up the railroad tracks. Their scouts fired on a small British detachment, which ran.

It bore his impress stamped on it. Its austerity suggested the Puritan rather than the classic conception of simplicity.
"I don't do it because I have to," he retorted, kissing her on the lips. She fell back, protesting. "Under the circumstances " The butler, with a card on a tray, interrupted silently.
