"The writ would be out immediately. I should be glad enough of it, only that I know that Travers's people have heard of it before us, and that they are ready to be up with their posters directly the breath is out of the Marquis's body. We must go to work immediately; that's all." "It will only be for part of a Session," said George. "Just so," said Mr Scruby.
"Unless he mean to drown hisself in the Reach, it's hard to say what he do mean by all that gammon about the River Bank," said Grimes, as he canvassed for the other Liberal candidate. But, after a while, Grimes was driven to confess that Mr Scruby knew what he was about.
As soon as he was beyond Sir Simon's notice, he had scurried on across the plough, and being both light and indiscreet, had enjoyed the heartfelt pleasure of passing George Scruby. George, who hated Mr. Bottomley, grunted out his malediction, even though no one could hear him.
One gentleman, as it seemed, was even turned out to make way for him; for as George was ushered into the lawyer's room, a little man, looking very meek, was hurried away from it. "You can wait, Smithers," said Mr Scruby, speaking from within. "I shan't be very long."
"But the Conservatives will have a candidate." "There's no knowing; but I don't think they will. They'll try one at the general, no doubt; but if the two sitting Members can pull together, they won't have much of a chance." Vavasor found himself compelled to say that he would stand; and Scruby undertook to give the initiatory orders at once, not waiting even till the Marquis should be dead.
"You must have a subject," pleaded Mr Scruby. "No young Member can do anything without a subject. And it should be local; that is to say, if you have anything of a constituency. Such a subject as that, if it's well worked, may save you thousands of pounds thousands of pounds at future elections." "It won't save me anything at this one, I take it."
He was desirous that the bills should be immediately turned into money, so that the necessity of forcing payments from Alice, should due provision for the bills not be made, might fall into other hands than his. "We can wait till the 15th," said Scruby, as he handed the bits of paper back to his customer. "You will want a thousand, you say?" said George. "A thousand to begin with.
"Well; them Bunratty people; it is they as has come next. They know which side their bread is likely to be buttered; they do. They're a bidding for the 'Handsome Man' already; they are." "And you'd let your house to the Tory party, Grimes!" said Mr Scruby, in a tone in which disgust and anger were blended. "Who said anything of my letting my house to the Tory party, Mr Scruby?
I've had a candidate so mauled, it was in the Hamlets, I think, that there wasn't a spot on him that wasn't painted with rotten eggs. The smell was something quite awful. But I brought him in, through it all." And Mr Scruby at last did as much for George Vavasor as he had done for the hero of the Hamlets.
"There will come another, and that's just it. It's the Marquis of Bunratty; and if he drops, our young Member will go into the Upper House." "What, immediately; before the end of the Session?" George, of course, knew well enough that such would be the case, but the effect which this event would have upon himself now struck him suddenly. "To be sure," said Scruby.
