Everything was being done as secretly as possible, but Hobart's experience of Ridgway made it obvious to him that this excessive activity could not pass without notice. His spies, like those of the trust, swarmed everywhere. It was not till mid-afternoon of the next day that Mott found time to join him and run over with him the details of such unfinished business as the office had taken up.
Ridgway's sense of personal loss and outrage almost obliterated for the moment his appreciation of the business loss. The motion to revoke the receivership of the Supply Company was being argued when Ridgway entered the court-room.
"The advertisement was only a trap into which you stepped." Enderby's jaw dropped. "Then it's still at the Graeme house," he cried, beating on the floor with his free hand. "Take me back there!" "Oh, we'll take you," said Warren grimly. Close-packed among them in a cab, they drove him back to Carteret Street. Colonel Ridgway Graeme was at home and greeted them courteously.
"Oh, I hope you are not right." A young woman was standing in the doorway, her arm in a sling. She had come in time to hear his prophesy, and in the disappointment of it had forgotten that he was a stranger. Virginia remedied this, and they went in to breakfast. Laska was full of interest, and poured out eager questions at Ridgway.
Ridgway pretty well, don't you?" Miss Balfour gently flicked her divided skirt with a riding-whip, considering whether she might be said to know him well. "Yes, I think I do," she ventured. "Mrs. Mott says you and he are great friends, that you seem very fond of each other." "Goodness me! I hope I don't seem fond of him.
'We love him for the enemies he has made. How would that do for a heading?" "Good. And now we'll have to look around for a candidate to put against Mott. I'm hanged if I know where we'll find one." Eaton had an inspiration. "I do?" "One that will run well, popular enough to catch the public fancy?" "Yes." "Who, then?" "Waring Ridgway."
Ridgway, with recollections of the previous occasion, ventured to murmur again: "The fairy prince." Virginia blushed to her hair, and this time did not offer the card for his disapproval. "Shall I congratulate him?" he wanted to know. The imperious blood came to her cheeks on the instant. The sudden storm in her eyes warned him better than words.
"Better sell the smelter while you have the chance." "Think not," disagreed Ridgway. At the door the lawyer turned. "Oh, there's another matter! It had slipped my mind." He spoke with rather elaborate carelessness. "It seems that there is a little triangle about ten and four feet across wedged in between the Mary K, the Diamond King, and the Marcus Daly.
It is fully illustrated, thoroughly scientific and up-to-date in the matter of classification, and yet not too technical for practical use. Mr. Robert Ridgway, one of the foremost ornithologists of our country, is now preparing a great work which is worthy of the highest praise.
Perhaps most of all Babbitt appreciated the remarks by William H. Ridgway in the Sunday School Times: "If you have a Sunday School class without any pep and get-up-and-go in it, that is, without interest, that is uncertain in attendance, that acts like a fellow with the spring fever, let old Dr. Ridgway write you a prescription. Rx. Invite the Bunch for Supper."
