One of my reasons for sending for you was to tell you how greatly I am distressed and chagrined by the attacks on Senator Goodrich in our papers." "Did you have any other reason for sending for me?" said I very quietly. "That was the principal one," he confessed. "Oh!" I exclaimed. "What do you mean, Sayler?"
And here he was, giving me the place, under the delusion that he could use me as he had been using Roover. He must have misread my expression, for he went on: "Don't refuse on impulse, Sayler. I and the others will do everything to make your duties as light as possible." "I should not be content to be a mere figure-head, as Roover has been," I warned him.
"Oh, I understand your position, Sayler," he answered, when he had got control of himself again, "but I see plainly that the time has come when the power that rules me, that rules us both, has decided to use me to my own destruction. If I refuse to do these things, it will destroy me, and a hundred are eager to come forward and take my place.
It is unworthy of you. But for my tact pardon my frankness your prejudice would have driven him away, and with him a support he controls " I showed my amusement. "Don't smile, Sayler," he protested with some anger in his smooth, heavy voice. "You are not the only strong man in the party. And I venture to take advantage of our long friendship to speak plainly to you. I wish to see a united party.
"I have always found you very impartial in your judgments your clear judgment has been of the highest usefulness to me many times." "Thank you," I said. "You are most kind most generous." "So," he went on, not dreaming that he might find sarcasm if he searched for it, "I hope you appreciate why I have refrained from seeing you, as I wished. I know, Sayler, your friendship was loyal.
He rested his elbows on the table and held his face between his hands. He looked terribly old, and weary beyond the power ever to be rested again. "I stand with the party, what am I without it?" he went on in a dull voice. "The people may forget, but, if I offend the master, he never forgives or forgets. I'll sign the bills, Sayler, if they come to me as party measures."
At night, when wee were going aboard, there came the Savages creeping upon all foure from the Hills like Beares, with their Bowes in their mouths, charged us very desperately in the faces, hurt Captaine Gabriel Archer in both his hands, and a sayler in two places of the body very dangerous.
It seemed to me that his lips must give passage to the oaths and filth swelling beneath his chest, and seething behind his eyes. "Sayler!" repeated the clerk in a voice that exploded within me. "No!" I shouted, not in answer to the clerk, but in denial of that insolent master-to-dog command from the beast in the gallery. The look in his eyes changed to relief and contemptuous approval.
I'm deaf, it's true, but I'm not a hallooing scale to try your lungs on. If you won't write, we can't talk." With impatience, yet smiling, Calvin Van de Lear wrote on the tablets, "Have you seen the ghost?" "Ghost?" "Yes, the ghosts of the murdered men!" "I never saw a ghost of anything in my life. What men?" "William Zane and Sayler Rainey." "Who has seen them?" "Several people.
His custom had been to begin his notes "Dear Harvey," or "Dear Sayler," and to end them "James" or "Burbank." This note began "My dear Senator"; it ended, "Yours sincerely, James E. Burbank." As I stared at these phrases my blood steamed in my brain. Had he spat in my face my fury would have been less, far less. "So!"
