I should never have gone wrong if it hadn't been for him, and I've wanted to send the money back over and over again, but he got it into his own hands and wouldn't listen to it, and after all I never took the money, Mr. Bommaney I only found it. It was Steinberg kept it. He said I should be a fool to let it go. What sentiments of contempt and rage inspired Mr.
Being a member it was not long before he discovered the fact of Steinberg's influence over the young solicitor. He noticed a terrified deference in Barter's manner towards the other, a frightened alacrity of obedience to his suggestions. He noticed also that Steinberg and Barter played a good deal by themselves, and that Barter always lost.
Suddenly Captain Murray broke the silence by saying aloud to the German officers: "We are of opinion, gentlemen, that only one more encounter, the third, should take place. This should decide." "Tell them not to interfere," said Steinberg fiercely, but without taking his eyes off his adversary.
"'Passion! 'admire! and still you're dumb?" Lord bless your soul, the worst's to come: I'm forced to bow, as I'm a sinner, And hope the rogue will stay to dinner! But oh, at dinner! there's the sting; I see my cellar on the wing! You know if Burgundy is dear? Her immortality, I fear, a Death-blow will prove to my Madeira; It has given, alas! a mortal shock To that old friend my Steinberg hock!
Nobody spoke ill of Steinberg; it was only understood that there was no move upon the board with which he was not familiar. Young Barter, meeting him one evening at the club, whilst Bommaney's disappearance was still a fresh topic of town conversation, spoke to him about it, with an assurance clearly begotten of practice. 'Now, look here, Steinberg, he said, in his open and engaging way.
'How many of those stolen notes has Steinberg changed for you? It was a bold thing to do, it was perhaps a foolish thing to do, and yet it was the game. Barter stared at him speechlessly. His lips moved, but he said nothing. Then his jaw fell as a dead man's jaw falls, and being released at that instant, he dropped into the chair like a sack.
Hockheimer gave a roar, Steinberg a growl, Rudesheimer a wild laugh, Markbrunnen, a loud grunt, Grafenberg a bray, Asmanshausen's long body moved to and fro with wonderful agitation, and little Geisenheim's bright eyes glistened through their glasses as if they were on fire. How ludicrous is the incipient inebriety of a man who wears spectacles!
If you'll let me have it to-night I shall be obliged to you. I've been hit rather hard this last day or two. Shall we make that a bargain? To-night? 'I I'm afraid, Barter stammered, 'it's no use talking about to-night. 'Well, said Steinberg, with a pitiless uninterested suavity, 'you know the rules. He drew a little book from his pocket, and tossed it over the table to his guest.
Soon after that a terrible thing happened: Silvine, who had sworn that she would be true to her lover and await his return, was detected one day, two short weeks after his departure, in the company of a laborer who had been working on the farm for some months past, that Goliah Steinberg, the Prussian, as he was called; a tall, simple young fellow with short, light hair, wearing a perpetual smile on his broad, pink face, who had made himself Honore's chum.
Though his head was large, his features were small, and appeared smaller from the immense quantity of coarse, shaggy, brown hair which grew over almost every part of his face and fell down upon his shoulders. The Elector was as silent as his predecessor, and quickly produced a bottle of Steinberg.
