And now, regarding the best counsel for you, I think my friend, Templeton would work well for you, and secure a bill with as little notoriety as any one." Virgie shivered at this business-like talk of "a bill."
"Is the gold all washed out, every bit?" asked Jimmy. "Seems as if I could see a little shine to it now." "Well, they got out all they could. There may be a little dust of it left though. Mr. Templeton says the folks in 'Frisco that own the mine think there's some left, and the tailings ought to be sent to San Diego and worked over." Jimmy took up another handful.
Where's Templeton?" "On deck, Captain," said one of the pirates. "Good!" said Captain Jack. "Four of you station yourselves at the ladder there and grab him when he comes down." The pirates followed instructions. To Frank Captain Jack said: "I would advise you not to cry out when he descends. If you do it may be necessary to shoot him."
It was now nearly six o'clock, and savory odors from the kitchen mingled with the balmy breath of the flowers stealing in from the lawn. The Dunlee party had barely time for hasty toilets when the gong sounded for dinner. The Templeton dining-room was large and held several tables. The Dunlees had the longest of these, the one near the west window.
Pray, sir, how long has this eccentric person been a resident of Templeton?" "Hist there he is, as I am a sinner; and it was not he and the other gentlemen that were in the boat."
Her ladyship concealed a cynical smile under cover of her fan. Mr. Caryll standing in the background beside Hortensia's chair smiled, too, and poor Hortensia, detecting his smile, sought to take comfort in it. "My son," interposed the countess, "is, I am sure, gratified to hear you so commend his conduct." Mr. Templeton bowed to her with a great politeness.
Malcolm, who felt his position was somewhat delicate, hardly knew how to begin the conversation; but Colonel Godfrey soon put things on a comfortable footing. "Look here, Rossiter," he said frankly, "we are all friends here, and you may speak out. Mr. Herrick is very much interested in this young fellow, Cedric Templeton, and acts as a sort of guide, philosopher, and friend to him.
"Hush, dear," said Mrs. Templeton gently. "And did they agree to anything?" "Alas, not they, for at that moment some old Johnny began asking questions and then that old fire-eater, McGinnis, horned in again. No Arbitration Committee for him no one could come into his foundry and tell him how to run his business same old stuff, you know. Well, then, the Methodist Johnny took a hand.
When we get started, sir, the old asphalt trust will simply melt away, melt away." He blew a cloud of tobacco smoke and let it dissolve significantly in the air. When it came to talking about the suits, however, Vanderdyke was not so communicative as Mrs. Ralston, but he was also not so bitter against either the post-office or Templeton. "Poor Templeton," he said.
The people forgot old Templeton, and they also became a bit hazy about the cardinal principle of the Foundation, much as they forget other disasters, but they did not forget to look upon Braden Thorpe as a menace to mankind. And so it was that after two months of waiting, he closed his office for the summer and disappeared from the city.
