It 's wisest to let them exhaust their energies upon one another. Hold off, and they're soon at work. 'What kind of director of a City Company does he make? said Rockney.
Mattock bethought him that, on the whole, strange to say, Con O'Donnell comported himself decorously as a director, generally speaking on the reasonable side, not without shrewdness: he seemed to be sobered by the money question.
