Schwab gave an appreciative chuckle. "No, I don't mean your chauffeur," he mimicked. "I mean," he declared theatrically in his best police-court manner, "the man who to-day is hoping to beat Tammany, Ernest Peabody!" Winthrop stared at the youth insolently. "I don't understand you," he said. "Oh, of course not!" jeered "Izzy" Schwab. He moved excitedly from foot to foot.
"They shall be suspicions no longer at my own peril I will change them to certainties!" exclaimed Danville, extending his arm theatrically, and looking up for the first time. "Citizen president, I avow it with the fearless frankness of a good patriot; I was privy to my mother's first attempt at escaping from France." Hisses and cries of execration followed this confession.
His family were theatrically commanded to regard me well, so that my countenance might be forever imprinted on their hearts; and they, poor devils, in a seventh heaven to have him back safe and sound in their midst, regarded and regarded, and imprinted and imprinted, till I felt like a perfect ass masquerading as a Hobson.
