The market went the wrong way, and Storri could not be found when additional margins were called for. Whereupon Mr. Harley closed out his friend at a loss of seven thousand dollars. Storri knitted his brows when he knew, but offered no comment. In fact, he treated the affair so lightly that Mr.
No one opposed, and Senator Hanway, with Senators Price and Loot, were selected to be a special committee. They were to send for men and papers, be open or secret in their sessions, and report to the Senate whenever they finished the inquiry. The affair excited no comment, and was forgotten within the hour by all except Storri and Mr. Harley and those others of the osprey pool.
Hanway-Harley had never known a more finished gentleman; and so she told her friends. "It is a pity," cried Storri one day, "that Europe has none such as yourself to set examples of refinement! Now if your beautiful daughter would but make some nobleman happy as his wife! You would come to Europe, no?" and Storri spread his hands in rapture over so much possible good fortune.
Surely, nothing could be more solid or more secure! The door and the complicated machinery that locked it were wonders, marvels! Nowhere had he, Storri, beheld such a door or such a lock, and he had peeped into the strong rooms of a dozen kings.
I'll apply the torch, and burn him like so much refuse off the earth." When Mrs. Hanway-Harley endeavored to break Dorothy to the yoke of her ambitions concerning Storri, Dorothy sparkled and blazed and wept and did those divers warlike things that ladies do when engaged in conflict with each other.

Storri would even show how, for that very sugar stock, in that very market, he was dealing the other way, selling ten thousand shares. "But you paid your half of the losses in the deal in my name." Mr. Harley's voice, commonly rich and full, was huskily dry.
Hanway-Harley, with many an ejaculation of self-pity over a fate that had made her helpmeet to a lunatic, called her maid to aid her in creeping to her room. As for Dorothy, she danced about as light as air; in the finale she danced across the way to Bess to tell that sorceress what wonders had befallen. "Eh! you Harley you John Harley, is it you?" jeered Storri, as Mr. Harley was shown in.
If you meet Count Storri in friendship, if you refuse Mr. Storms, I am secure. Should you fail of either, then, by heart and soul! I think it is my end!" Next to Richard, Dorothy worshiped her father. Women never weigh men closely; with them it is the kindness of men that counts, and all her life no one could have been more generously affectionate than was Mr. Harley to Dorothy.
And then Ottawa, with those sodden Canadians, their Scotch whiskey, and narrow lives framed in with snow how I loathed them! What a weariness of the heart they were, those frozen people! Then came you Storri!" The San Reve's gray-green eyes burned with white fire. She got up from the couch where she had lain curled like a tawny lioness.
