De Milt did not discuss this rather premature entitling of Senator Scarborough. He said: "Oh I've made a mistake," descended and sent his trap away. Scarborough's house was quiet, not a soul about, lights in only a few windows. De Milt strolled in at the open gates and, keeping out of view, made a detour of the gardens, the "lay" of which he could see by the starlight.
Scarborough's answer was a grave smile. "My personal loss may save me from you," Whitney went on. "I hesitate to speak of it, but, as you can see, it is large almost as large as the university's." "Yes," said Scarborough absently, though his gaze was still fixed on Whitney. "You think you can do nothing?" "Indeed I do not!" exclaimed Whitney. "I shall begin with the assumption that you are right.
"There's nothing to tell." "Ah, that's your opinion because you can't see into a millstone. I tell you that Harry knows more about this Captain Scarborough than any one else. They were very intimate together." "Harry only just knew him." "Well, you'll see. I tell you that Harry's name will become mixed up with Captain Scarborough's, and I hope that it will be in no discreditable manner.
"Assure me," demanded his passenger, after a brief moment, during which with no slackening of speed the great machine tore down Scarborough's main street like a green tornado, "that you retain entire control of the thing." "Oh, yes." Another pause. "I suggested that you make no mention of Miss Lucy." "I can't have her?"
I have heard crowds bellow too often to be moved by it though the twenty or thirty thousand gathered under that roof were outdoing the cannonade of any thunderstorm. But that woman's look in response to Scarborough's there was sympathy and understanding in it, and more, infinitely more.
The unmistakable signs of antiquity in the narrow streets adjoining the harbour irresistibly remind one of the days when sea-bathing had still to be popularized, when the efficacy of Scarborough's medicinal spring had not been discovered, of the days when the place bore as little resemblance to its present size or appearance as the fishing-town at Robin Hood's Bay.
"And if you take my advice, you will ask Goodrich how his agent found Senator Scarborough's health, and then order him out of this house. Why harbor a deadly snake that can be of no use to you?" "But you seem to forget, Harvey, that he is the master of at least the eastern wing of the party. And you must now see that he will stop at nothing, unless he is pacified."
"You think it's about Mountjoy Scarborough, then?" asked Joshua. "I do. That infernal fool, Peter Prosper, has chosen to publish to the world that he has dropped me because of something that he has heard of that occurrence. A wretched lie has been told with a purpose by Mountjoy Scarborough's brother, and my uncle has taken it into his wise head to believe it.
"Kill and be damned," replied Pierson, cool and disdainful. "You're a coward." Scarborough's fingers closed on Pierson's throat. Then flashed into his mind that warning which demands and gets a hearing in the wildest tempest of passion before an irrevocable act can be done.
When Merriweather came on "to take his beating" from his employer he said among other things deprecatory: "Scarborough's a dreamer. His head's among the clouds." Dumont retorted: "Yes, but his feet are on the ground too damned firmly to suit me." And after a moment's thought, he added: "What a shame for such a brain to go to waste! Why, he could make millions."
