Most of them were youths of obscure origin who sold newspapers or blacked boots, or "swapped" articles the value of which lay in the desire they could excite in other persons to possess them. A popular method known as "bluff" was their most trusted weapon, and even at twelve and fifteen years of age Tembarom had always regarded it as singularly obvious.
I don't like the way the fellows have of calling him 'the Freak." So the name had been adopted, and soon became an established fact. "The way I feel about him," Tembarom said, "is that the fellow's not a bit of a joke. What I see is that he's up against about the toughest proposition I've ever known. Gee! that fellow's not crazy. He's worse.
"Of course, sir," Pearson apologized, "leaving New York so hurriedly, your your man evidently had not time to er " Tembarom looked at him a few seconds longer, as if making up his mind to something. Then he threw himself easily into the big chair by the fire, and leaned back in it with the frankest and best- natured smile possible. "I hadn't any man," he said.
The boys and men in white garments filed into their seats. An elderly man, also in white robes, separated himself from them, and, going into his special place, kneeled down. Then he rose and began to read: "When the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness " Tembarom took the open book which Miss Alicia had very delicately pushed toward him.
Men who had played with him were horrible about it afterward." "They would be," put in Tembarom. " They'd be sore about it, and bring it up." They both forgot their tea. Miss Alicia forgot everything as she poured forth her story in the manner of a woman who had been forced to keep silent and was glad to put her case into words. It was her case.
Find me a more absolutely interesting object in the universe than a woman any woman and I will devote the remainder of my declining years to the study of it," answered his grace. He said it with a decision which made T. Tembarom turn to look at him, and after his look decide to proceed.
The extraordinary page was provided for after a large amount of effort and expenditure of energy. "I couldn't leave Galton high and dry," Tembarom explained when he came in after rushing about. "I think I know a man he might try, but I've got to find him and put him on to things. Good Lord! nobody rushed about to find me and offer me the job. I hope this fellow wants it as bad as I did.
But her eyes were steady, and a lovely increasing intensity glowed in them. "You went after him and brought him back. He was all wrought up, and he needed some one with good common sense to stop him in time to make him think straight before he did anything silly," she said. "I says to him," T. Tembarom made the matter clear; "`Say, you've left something behind that belongs to you!
You've set an example no other landowner can expect to live up to, or intends to. It's too lavish. It's pernicious, dear chap. I have heard all about the cottage you are doing over for Pearson and his bride. You had better invest in the Cedric." Tembarom wanted him to go on, if there was anything in it.
Were his arms and legs and his ribs and collar-bones and head quite right? Was he sure that he had not received any internal injury when he fell out of the pony-carriage? They could scarcely be convinced, and as they hung over and stroked and patted him, Tembarom stood aside and watched them with interest.
