I have heard that a speaker's eloquence depends much upon his hearers and the bond of sympathy betwixt him and them, and sure I spoke with a freedom that surprised me. Certainly no man was ever better favored in his audience; Mr. Allardyce let his pipe go out more than once.
Something in the speaker's words rang false; but just what that something was, Lorelei could not decide. "Then you'd like to see the story made public?" she queried. "Naturally." "I dare say if I loved a man I'd want him at any price, but I hope I'm not going to be dragged into this matter." "My dear, New York has blackmailing newspapers, just as it has blackmailing men.
The age was sufficiently godless, in his judgment; and he had found that a Board School education was the first nail in the coffin of every young man's faith. Joan, therefore, allowing nothing for the value of riches, of education, of intellect, was content to accept Barron's own cynical statement in a spirit widely different from the speaker's.
When he did he would generally say, briefly, that as an intellectual effort he had never been inclined to rank this first public utterance very high among Elsmere's performances. The speaker's own emotion had stood somewhat in his way. A man argues better, perhaps, when he feels less.
Still, the speaker's sincerity inspired returning confidence, and, when he paused, there was a measure of sympathy for him, for he seemed haggard and ill, and was one against many. His guests began to wonder whether they had not been too impatient and suspicious, and one broke in apologetically, "That's good! We're not unreasonable. But we like straight talking what if the dykes keep on bursting?"
The Constitution provides that "the House of Representatives shall choose their speaker and other officers," but it makes no mention of the speaker's powers. The right to appoint the committees is not conferred on the speaker by the Constitution. The extent and character of the powers exercised by that official are determined very largely by the rules and usages of the House.
"You'll repent of it as sure as your name is is whatever it is." The engineer took a step nearer the older man. His face now was as hard as granite. "Weir is my name," he said. "Did you ever hear it before?" "Weir Weir?" came in a questioning mutter. "Yes, Weir." The speaker's eyes held the Senator's in savage leash, and a slight tremble presently began to shake the old man.
Startled surprise and gladness spoke in that word, which slipped out ere the speaker's discretion could prevent it. The young man turned quickly. "Princess!" he exclaimed, "where did you drop from?" "I was not looking for you," she stammered, thus betraying that she had been seeking him and was rejoiced, heart and soul, at the chance that had led her to him. Manasseh smiled.
I don't know why, excepting that the words had a kindly ring about them, in spite of the almost brusque quaintness of the address, that touched me keenly in the depressed state of mind in which I was; but, instead of answering the speaker's pertinent question as to the reason of my grief, I now bent down my head again on my arm, sobbing away as if my heart would break.
At each of his son's new projects he raised his eyes to the speaker's face, as if to see whether the young man had not lost his wits, while his mouth, only half hidden by his grey beard, smiled approvingly.
