"But he insists on pleasing himself," said Ryder completing the sentence. "I'm afraid, John, that his liking for that Miss Rossmore is more serious than you realize " The financier stamped his foot and replied angrily: "Miss Rossmore! That name seems to confront me at every turn for years the father, now the daughter!
I went to the hotel, copied off my orders, and mailed them, feeling that I had done extra well, and then sauntered leisurely to the depot. On the train a man behind me heard me ask the conductor about Rossmore. He leaned over and asked, "Are you selling goods?" "Yes." "Then we'll go to Rossmore together. What line are you in?" "Guns and revolvers." "The devil you are! So am I."
Better than these men who merely talked, he was planning how the railroad and all his other interests could get rid of this troublesome judge. It was true. He who controlled legislatures and dictated to Supreme Court judges had found himself powerless when each turn of the legal machinery had brought him face to face with Judge Rossmore.
How is it that our road cannot reach Judge Rossmore and make him presents?" The speaker sat down, flushed and breathless. The expression on every face showed that the anxiety was general. The directors glanced at Ryder, but his face was expressionless as marble. Apparently he took not the slightest interest in this matter which so agitated his colleagues. Another director rose.
"Rossmore, this is dreadful it's too dreadful to think of!" "Never resurrected a rag of that burglar but the clothes, not a solitary rag of him but the clothes." "Colonel, do you really mean " The Colonel brought his fist down with emphasis and said: "I mean exactly this.

This first meeting had been followed by a call at the Rossmore residence, and the acquaintance had kept up until Jefferson, for the first time since he came to manhood, was surprised and somewhat alarmed at finding himself strangely and unduly interested in a person of the opposite sex.
Rossmore, who thought rightly that the quickest way to get rid of her unwelcome visitors was to hurry downstairs as quickly as possible. "Miss Deetle Mr. Deetle. I am much honoured," was her not too effusive greeting. The Reverend Pontifex, anxious to make a favourable impression, was all smiles and bows. The idea of a possible scandal had for the moment ceased to worry him.
I've done my share; it's for Sellers to take an innings, now." So he sent this message to New York: "Come back. Hire special train. She's going to marry the materializee." Meantime a note came to Rossmore Towers to say that the Earl of Rossmore had just arrived from England, and would do himself the pleasure of calling in the evening.
He was secretly afraid of lightning; but was ashamed to admit it. "A bad omen for Judge Rossmore!" rejoined Ryder coolly, as he slammed to the door of the cab, and the two men drove rapidly off in the direction of Fifth Avenue.
He realized that the sordid methods which had succeeded with other judges would never prevail with Rossmore, so he plotted to take away from this man the one thing he cherished most his honour. He would ruin him by defaming his character, and so skilfully would he accomplish his work that the judge himself would realize the hopelessness of resistance.
