How long would it be before T-S and his crowd appeared? I could figure the time it should take them to drive from Eternal City; but suppose something held them up? How long would the ex-service men stay out on the street, waiting for Hamby to answer their signal? Surely not many minutes! They would storm the place, and hunt out their victim for themselves.
Andy Lynch, the ex-soldier, was probably a useful man, and we would get his help. We would get rid of Hamby, and then we would wait for T-S and his siren. By the time these plans were thoroughly talked out, we had reached the building in which the headquarters were located. There were lights in the main room upstairs, and the door which led up to them was open.
Get the hell out o' my way!" So we sped through the crowded streets, and pedestrians scattered like autumn leaves before a storm. "My Gawd, but I'm hungry!" said T-S. "I ain't had nuttin' to eat since lunch-time. How goes it, Maw? Feelin' better? Vell, you be all right ven you git your grub."
I weel show you Messes T-S. But you must not speak she would not like eet if I showed her to gentlemen. But her back ees turned and she cannot move. We do not let them see the apparatus, because eet ees rather frightful, eet would make them seek. You will be very steel, eh?" "Mum's the word, Madame," said Rosythe, speaking for the three of us. "O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!" moaned the voice.
T-S and I had exchanged a few whispered words, and decided that we would take Carpenter to his place, which was a few miles in the country from Eternal City. He would be as safe there as anywhere I could think of.
"Veil," said T-S, patiently, "you know, I ain't vun o' dese litry fellers." "I'll tell it to you some time," I continued. "It's kind of funny. If he's right, you are going to be the first pope, and sit at the golden gate, holding the keys of heaven." "My Gawd!" said T-S. "And you've made a record in the movies." I added. "You've played Satan and St. Peter, both on the same day!
Carpenter, you gonna eat all dat?" "No; of course not." "Den vot you gonna do vit it?" "I'm going to take it to the hungry men outside." Well, sir, you'd have thought the world had stopped turning round, so still it was. The two waiters nearly dropped their order-pads and their napkins; they did drop their jaws, and Mrs. T-S's permanent wave seemed about to go flat. "Oh, hell!" cried T-S at last.
"Of gourse our members are having a hard time, and we were glad to get the money, but it would be better if our central organization were to contribute the funds, rather than to have us pay such a price as this newspaper publicity." "Then let your committee vote the money, and return it to Mr. T-S, and also to Mary Magna." It took the man sometime to figure out a reply to this proposition.
Vell, he'll find maybe I can vait as long as de next feller. Ven he gits ready to talk business, he knows vere Eternal City is, I guess. Vot's de matter, Madame, you got dat old voman o' mine melted to de chair?" "I'll see, I'll see, Meester T-S," said Madame, hustling out of the room. Mary came up to the great man.
I saw Everett, secretary to T-S, and Korwsky, secretary of the tailor's union; I saw some one leap at Everett and strike him a ferocious blow in the teeth, and two other men leap upon the little Russian and hurl him to the ground. I started up, involuntarily. "Oh, shame! Shame!" I cried, and would have rushed out into the aisle.
