Under the guidance of a Dublin ironmonger, named Napper Tandy, they now proposed to convene a Congress, to consist, not, as before, of delegates from the Volunteer body, but of persons who should be representatives of the entire nation; and Tandy had even the audacity to issue circulars to the sheriffs of the different counties, to require them, in their official capacity, to summon the people to return representatives to this Congress.
The same day that Import and Profits advertise their London copies of "Napper Tandy," at five dollars a volume, any number of shirtless little vagabonds will be crying it in a pamphlet edition from Astor House to Wall Street, and through all the thoroughfares, for a currency shilling. I wish you might see your own degradation, as I shall be forced to behold that of my friend.
When that is done, Mr. Leftwich will return this paper to you. In the meanwhile, I place it in his hands." "Really, Mr. Duncan" for since the early part of that morning's interview, Tandy had not ventured again upon the familiarity of addressing Duncan without the "Mr." "really, Mr. Duncan, you are pressing me too hard. You must give me a few days "
In the meantime the men whom you are asking to build the road must lose not only the interest on their investment, but the investment itself. I know all the facts that bear upon the case." "All but one," answered Tandy. "What is that one?" "That a favorable report from you means a check, right now and here, to-night, payable to 'Bearer, for ten thousand dollars.
I'll leave this stock in your name till then, and you shall walk with me into the stockholders' meeting and help me salivate old Napper Tandy. We'll teach him not to play tricks." Captain Hallam spoke no word of commendation for the way in which Temple had done his work. Words were unnecessary.
"Go on," she said again. "But I shall believe nothing bad of you, even though an angel should tell me." "I told you the other night," he said, "that I had quarreled with Napper Tandy; that he had tried to tempt me with a money bribe to do an infamous thing.
He'll be ill, and as I'll have to look after him when mamma is away I don't want to have it any harder than necessary." "Me ikes tandy," remarked Paul. "Dodo ikes tandy too. Why not Dodo come wif us?" His big eyes looked appealing at his sister, and her own filled with tears, while those of Grace were not dry. "Poor little Dodo," said Mollie.
"Oo dot tandy?" asked Dodo, looking doubtfully at Grace. "Yes," and she opened the bag to show them. This was evidence enough, and the garments were placed where they belonged, Mollie hastening in to lay them straight again. The little tea was a success, in spite of the invasion of the twins.
There he found that in carrying on his multifarious enterprises, Tandy had been in the habit of borrowing and using the bank's funds in ways forbidden by the law of national banking. Had Tandy anticipated his own removal from control he would doubtless have set his account in order so that no complaint could be made.
You see there were no witnesses present when your interview with Tandy occurred. That was a capital mistake on your part. Then, too, you went to his house for this business, and people will say that that, too, looks bad. You have destroyed the invitation he sent you, and so you have nothing to show that you didn't go to his house, as he says you did, without invitation, in order to extort a bribe.
