I signed because I didn't think a girl like that would be likely to say anything which Vittie would regard as a libel. He's a thick-skinned hound." "She once libelled twenty-three bishops, she and Hilda and Selby-Harrison between them." "After all," said Titherington, "you can say pretty near anything you like at an election. Nobody minds. I think we're pretty safe.
"Very well," I said, "I'll have two best men. I don't see why I shouldn't. Who's the other?" "Lalage mentioned a Mr. Tithers." "Titherington is his name," I said, "and if I have him I don't see how I can very well leave out Vittie, O'Donoghue, and McMeekin. I don't know how you feel about the matter, but I rather object to being made a public show of with five best men."
He shot above the trees, cold in the stomach, muttering, "Gee! that was careless!" He sped forward. The race-fever again. Could he pass Tad Warren as he had passed Titherington? He whirled over the towns, shivering but happy in the mellow, cool October air, far enough from the water to be out of what fog the brightening sun had left.
If Titherington had not interrupted me so often and if he had not displayed such complete self-confidence I should have told him what the A.S.P.L. really was and warned him to be very careful about enlisting Lalage's aid. But I was nettled by his manner and felt that it would be very good for him to find out his mistake for himself. I remained silent.
But you must allow me to parcel up the rest of the cakes for you. I should like you to have them and you're sure to be hungry again before bedtime." "Won't you want them yourself?" "No, I won't. And even if I did I wouldn't eat them. It would hardly be fair to Mr. Titherington. He's doing his best for me and he'll naturally expect me to keep as fit as possible."
All I could do was to swear at him occasionally. No man has any right to be as stupid as Titherington is. It is utterly ridiculous to suppose that I should undergo racking pains in my limbs, a violent headache and extreme general discomfort if I could possibly avoid it. Titherington ought to have seen this for himself. He did not.
"Oh, she's that." "So I saw. And she's an uncommonly good-looking girl. The crowd will be all on her side when she starts breaking up Vittie's meetings." "You accepted her offer of help then?" "Certainly," said Titherington. "She's to speak at a meeting of yours on the twenty-first."
Charlie Sanderson, the butcher, who's a stoutish kind of man, tumbled off his chair and might have broken his neck. I never saw such a scene in my life." I saw the nurse poking about to find her thermometer. Titherington saw her too and knew what was coming. "It was all well enough for once," he said, "but we can't have it again." "How do you propose to stop it?" I asked.
Titherington tossed several bundles of them aside, and came at last upon a small parcel kept together by an elastic band. "This," he said, handing me a long typewritten document, "is from the Amalgamated Association of Licensed Publicans. You needn't read it. It simply asks you to pledge yourself to oppose all legislation calculated to injure the trade. This is your answer."
Swift, muscular porters would be sent in pursuit of Titherington, who would, himself, still pursue Selby-Harrison. The great bell of the Campanile would ring furious alarm peals. The Dublin metropolitan police would at last be called in, for Titherington, when in a determined mood, would be very difficult to overpower.
