"In just two minutes' time to a tick, the price will be thirty." "Let's be 'hammered' then!" said Aronson to his companion, with simulated impulsiveness. Rostocker was the older and stronger man, and when at last he spoke it was with the decision of one in authority. "It is your game," he said, with grave imperturbability. "Eight thousand five hundred at twenty-five.
Lord Plowden had sought out Rostocker and Aronson, and had told them that he had it in his power ignominiously to break the "corner." He could hardly have told them the exact nature of his power, because until he should have seen Tavender he did not himself know what it was.
I've soured on the City for keeps." "I wouldn't say that it had been so bad to you, either," Semple smilingly suggested, as he turned to the door. Thorpe grinned in satisfied comment. "Hurry back as soon as you've finally settled with Rostocker and the other fellow," he called after him, and began pacing the floor again.
"We can always pay our creditors and let you whistle," Rostocker reminded him, laconically. "You can do anything you like," was the reply, "except buy Rubber Consols under twenty-five. It doesn't matter a fig to me whether you go bankrupt or not. It would suit me as well to have you two 'hammered' as to take your money." Upon the spur of a sudden thought he drew out his watch.
"By the way," it occurred to Thorpe to mention, "here's something I didn't understand. I told Rostocker here, just as a cheeky kind of joke, that after he and Aronson had got their eight thousand five hundred, if they thought they'd like still more shares, I'd let 'em have 'em at a bargain and he seemed to take it seriously. He did for a fact. Said perhaps he could make a deal with me."
Both Rostocker and Aronson, who, it was said, were worst hit, were men of great wealth, but they had systematically amassed these fortunes by strangling in their cradles weak enterprises, and by undermining and toppling over other enterprises which would not have been weak if they had been given a legitimate chance to live.
