But just let me suggest this: Ransome may be one of the judges you brag of owning. But if he grants an injunction I'll advise Mr. Surtaine to publish a spread on the front page, stating that we have the facts, that we're enjoined from printing them at present, but that now or a year from now we'll tell the whole story in every phase.
"No, indeed, Chief." The girl smiled at him with that frank friendliness which Hal had noted as informing every relationship between Dr. Surtaine and the employees of the Certina plant. "I'll stick. The regular pay envelope looks good to me. And I can do this work after hours." "How would it be if I was to put you on half-time, Milly?" suggested her employer.
What do you think it is, Doctor?" Dr. Surtaine waved a profound hand. "Very obscure. Demands consideration. But get those cases out of the city. There's no occasion to risk the Board of Health seeing them." At the corner Dr. Surtaine again met Miss Elliot and stopped her. "My dear young lady, ought you to be risking your safety in such places as these?" "No one ever interferes.
"I think you'll find I'm not hard to get along with." "I think you'll find I am," replied the other with some grimness. "But I know the game. Well, let's get down to cases. What do you want to do with the 'Clarion'?" "Make it the cleanest, decentest newspaper in the city." "Then you don't think it's that, now." "No. I know it isn't." "Did you get that from Dr. Surtaine?" "Partly."
Simultaneously, the ex-sleeper projected himself, without any particular violence but with astonishing quickness, between the caller and his prey. Without at all knowing whence it was derived, Hal became aware of a large, black, knobby stick, which it were inadequate to call a cane, in his new opponent's grasp. Of physical courage there was no lack in the scion of the Surtaine line.
So, to Harrington Surtaine, those ethical and moral difficulties which would have bulked huge to one of a different training, were merely inherent phases of a profitable business. Misgivings had indeed stirred, at first. For these he had chided himself, as for an over-polite revulsion from the necessary blatancy of a broadly advertised enterprise.
Him with his sugar-pills and you, Hal Surtaine, with your lying promises." Lying promises! The phrase, thus used in the girl's mouth against the son, struck to the father's heart, confirming his dread. It was Hal, then. For the moment he forgot his instant peril, in his sorrow and shame. "I don't know why I shouldn't kill you both," went on the half-crazed girl. "That'd even the score.
The popular "inside knowledge" of the tragedy was that Milly had gone to the Surtaine mansion to force Hal's hand, failing in which she had shot him, inflicting an inconsiderable wound, and then killed herself; and that Dr. Surtaine had thereupon turned his son out of the house.
Surtaine, to the proprietor of the stand. "Yas, suh." "Were you ever in St. Jo, Missouri?" "Yas, suh, Doctah Suhtaine; oncet." "For long?" "No, suh." "Didn't live there, did you?" "No, suh." "George," said his interlocutor impressively, "you're lucky." "Yas, suh," agreed the negro with a noncommittal grin.
Ellis's job on this paper was to make it pay dividends, and not to censor the morals of the community." "And, by crikey, he was right!" cried Dr. Surtaine. "From the business point of view." "Oh, you theorists! You theorists!" Dr. Surtaine threw out his hands in a gesture of pleasant despair. "You want to run the world like a Sunday-school class." "Instead of like a three-card-monte game."
