"Dinner will be ready sharp on time twenty minutes late. Not being a married man, Grant, you will not understand that reckoning. You'll have to excuse Mrs. Transley a few minutes; she's holding down the accelerator in the kitchen. Come in; I want you to meet Squiggs." Squiggs proved to be a round man with huge round tortoise-shell glasses and round red face to match.
"THERE'S something for you to chew on, Squiggs," said Transley. "You argue your case well, Grant; I believe you have our legal light rather feazed that's the word, isn't it, Mr. Murdoch? for once. I confess a good deal of sympathy with your point of view, but I'm afraid you can't change human nature." "I am not trying to do that.
In the first place, I am accepting no interest on my advances, and in the second place the money, when repaid by the shareholders, will not be returned to me, but will be used to establish another colony on the same basis, and so on the movement will be extended from group to group." Mr. Squiggs readjusted his large round tortoise-shell glasses.
I'm afraid Drazk is as irresponsible as ever, provided he hasn't passed out, which is more than likely." Grant shook hands cordially with Y.D. and his wife, with Squiggs and Mrs. Squiggs, with Transley and Mrs. Transley. Any inclination he may have felt to linger over Zen's hand was checked by her quick withdrawal of it, and there was something in her manner quite beyond his understanding.
"I suppose so," said Transley, "although all I get out of a meal when I have to carve is splashing and profanity. You know, Squiggs, I've figured it out that this practice of requiring the nominal head of the house to carve has come down from the days when there wasn't usually enough to go 'round, and the carver had to make some fine decisions and, perhaps, maintain them by force.
Why, man, you just now perjured yourself in swearing that Parson Sinclair assaulted you whereas you beat him horribly with your club, with little provocation, and stole his watch and money. I know you, Squiggs; you can't gammon me. Once for all, will you share the booty with me?
Squiggs, "that we must have some well-off people to foster culture and give tone to society generally?" "I agree that the boy who is brought up in a home with a bath tub, and all that that stands for, is likely to be a better citizen than the boy who doesn't have that advantage. That's why I want every home to have a bath tub." Mrs. Squiggs subsided rather heavily.
"Look here, you Greenleaf Whittier Squiggs," said Doc Miller most savagely, not because he had any particular grudge against the unfortunately named G. W., but because of discipline and the custom with "cubs," "the next time you're sent out on a twenty-minute assignment like this, remember the number of the Bulletin, 427 Grand Street.
At three-thirty, Thomas, and Camden, who was doing the city hall, and Greenleaf Whittier Squiggs, who was subbing for the day on the courts, appeared before Jim Brown in an agonized body.
'Bless my soul, is it possible? Dr. Sinclair humph! Sentence is revoked you're discharged; the devil! about to send you up for six months a great mistake, upon my word ha, ha, ha! The rector turned to watchman Squiggs, and said to him, sternly 'Fellow, when I fell into your infernal clutches, I had a watch and money about me; they are now missing; can you give any account of them?
