Falconer, because he's the senior partner in Phil's firm: and then I'm going to have Delia Spaulding and Minnie Lathrop, because they'll make a good exhibition, they're so stylish." On and on Gertrude went, talking of white satin and tulle and lace and bridal veils and receptions.
"Try what?" "To get her away from Spaulding; get her back to me and happiness. We were happy, God knows we were!" "If you if she were happy, then her going proved something stronger than happiness called her." "Women are like that. They hold the world back by their conventions and conservations. They ask for freedom and and equality, and then they cling to tradition in spite of all."
He still hesitated to broach the subject to her directly, but it was possible that by some diplomatically analogous tale he could surprise her into telling him the truth. During the long drive he turned over in his mind the data Spaulding had placed before him during the afternoon. He rejected the theory that Madame Delano was Mrs. Lawton as utterly fantastic, but admitted a connection.
The decree might have gone forth for Mr. Hodder's destruction, but Asa Waring was a man whose displeasure was not to be lightly incurred. "What's this I hear about your moving out of Hamilton Place, Mr. Waring? You'd better come up and take the Spaulding lot, in Waverley, across from us." "I am an old man, Mr. Plimpton," Asa Waring replied.
I had seen you move the combination several times. Perhaps I deliberately registered it. I can't say. I have lived in such a maze of intrigue lately. I can't say. That is all except that I didn't get the letters and the other things." "He had an envelope in one hand. Spaulding has it beyond a doubt."
Something of the hang-dog vanished from his habit and for a little time he carried himself again with all his one-time grace and confidence. "Good-afternoon, Mr. Spaulding," he said, replying to a nod as he dropped into the chair that nod had indicated. A faint smile lightened his expression and made it quite engaging. "G'dafternoon."
If you are in earnest in this matter, and quite prepared to assume the necessary risk, you will be at the north-west corner of Spaulding Park at 5:30 to-morrow afternoon. Do not come in uniform, but it will be well to bring evening clothes in a bag. Be sure of yourself, and be prompt. "Very truly yours, "The Advertiser."
Spaulding a remarkable publicity campaign was inaugurated and the leading men of the State, many of whom had been extremely opposed to woman suffrage, gave interviews in favor of ratification. The Manchester Union devoted its front pages to these interviews for three weeks. Marked copies were sent not only to members of the Legislature but to the 750 committeemen of each of the parties.
It was a curious fact that lofty as were his purposes, and noble as were his main characteristics, the best men of the State men like Seward, Weed, Judge Folger, Senator Andrews, General Leavenworth, Elbridge Spaulding, and other really thoughtful, solid, substantial advisers of the Republican party were disliked by him, and yet no other reason could be assigned than this: that while they all admired him as a writer, they could not be induced to pretend that they considered him fit for high executive office, either in the State or Nation.
"There have been safes hidden behind bookcases before," said Spaulding dryly. "And crooks, like all the other pests of the earth, just drift naturally to this coast. If I were you I'd have a detective on hand whenever you wear that bit o' glass not at a friendly affair like the Gwynnes' dinner, of course, but " "Good idea!" exclaimed Ruyler.
