If you keep on you may become a Member of Parliament some day!" He laughed. "Your gifts have their own way of stinging. I don't believe I could be elected to Parliament. I haven't the trick of popularity of that kind." Many thoughts flashed through Tarboe's mind.
"Well, I'd leave a letter with my bank, not to be opened for three years, or unless you died, and it would say that the will existed, where it was, and what its terms were." "That sounds all right," but there was a cloud on Tarboe's face. "It's a great business," said Grier, seeing Tarboe's doubt. "It's the biggest thing a man can do and I'm breaking up."
We're going to give him to the fishes. They're putting him in his linen now." Tarboe's face hardened. Disaster did not dismay him, it either made him ugly or humourous, and one phase was as dangerous as the other. "D'ye mean to say," he groaned, "that the game is up? Is it all finished? Sweat o' my soul, my skin crawls like hot glass! Is it the end, eh? The beast, to die!" Gobal's eyes glistened.
In one sense she's his slave, because she doesn't want to think of him, and she does. She wants to think of you and she does ah, bagosh, yes!" "Yes, I understand," remarked Carnac morosely. "I understand." "Then why do you let her be under Tarboe's influence? Why don't " Carnac thrust out a hand that said silence. "Denzil, I'll never forget what you've told me about yourself.
Why don't you regularize it? Why don't you marry her, and then we'll know where we are? She's got more brains than anybody else in our circle. She's got tact and humour. Her sister's a fool; she's done harm. Junia's got sense. What are you waiting for? I wouldn't leave her for Tarboe! Look here, Carnac, I wanted you to do what Tarboe's doing, and you wouldn't. You cheeked me so I took him in.
Again and again he had determined to tell Junia the story of Tarboe's brother, but instinctive delicacy stopped him. He could not tell her the terrible story which had robbed him of all he loved and had made him the avenger of the dead.
Mother has given me money, and I'm spending my own little legacy, all but five thousand dollars of it." Fabian came up to his brother slowly. "If you know what's good for you, you'll stay where you are. You're not the only man that ought to be married. Tarboe's a strong man, and he'll be father's partner. He's handsome in his rough way too, is Tarboe.
The timber-man waved the statue aside, and looked at the youth with critical eyes. "I've just been making up the accounts for the year," he said. "It's been the best year I've had in seven. I've taken the starch out of Belloc and Fabian. I've broken the back of their opposition I've got it like a twig in iron teeth." "Yes, Tarboe's been some use, hasn't he?" was the suggestive response.
And one of the men, as cheerful as Joan herself, undertook to carry a little keg of brandy into the house, under the very nose of the young inspector, who had sought to mark his appointment by the detection and arrest of Tarboe single-handed. He had never met Tarboe or Tarboe's daughter when he made his boast.
John Grier does as much thinking in an hour as most of us do in a month, and with Tarboe he'll beat you dead. Tarboe is young; he's got the vitality of a rhinoceros. He knows the business from the bark on the tree. He's a flyer, is Tarboe, and you might have been in Tarboe's place and succeeded to the business." Fabian threw out his arms. "But no!
