Which has he eaten, do you know the raven of contention or the dove of peace?" "I think every one understands that Governor Waymouth has straightened matters out for all of us," he replied. "How? By simply talking about it?
He replied to such compliments with fine display of modest reserve, and in private gritted his teeth and swore over the statement that General Waymouth issued to the voters of the State a document that bound the party to a professed programme of honest reorganization.
He did not attempt search in person. It would have been vague wandering about the country. He remained to hold up the hands of Governor Waymouth, finding relish for fight in the rancor that settled within him. He and Linton silently faced the gossip that beat about them in regard to their encounter and kept away from each other. Theirs was a balanced account.
You put Governor Waymouth and your politics first, do you?" "But you haven't given me the right to put you first," he returned, boldly. "Just how was I to go about giving you that right?" she inquired, with demure sarcasm. "Memorialize you, Mr. Representative, or throw it at you from the House gallery, concealed in a bouquet?"
But it did occur to him, after that State convention, that perhaps he needed his wife to assist him in beginning a reconciliation with General Waymouth. Mrs. Presson came to him, directly the convention had adjourned. The few men who were lingering in headquarters dodged out, for they perceived that the chairman's wife had something on her mind.

"Forgive me for hesitating, Governor Waymouth. I'm afraid I'll never make a very good public servant. But I'll try to hold my eyes straight ahead after this." "Keep the paper in your pocket. Think it all over.

The General returned the gaze with serenity, creasing his sheet of manuscript on the table with his thin fingers. "I expected to be called in when you were ready to go over the platform," continued Everett, sourly.
General Waymouth hasn't left much to the imagination in his letter. And I've talked with others. And so I know how visionary you are." "You've talked with Linton that's the one you've talked with!" declared Harlan, indignantly. "And if he's told you what I have told him in confidence he's more of a sneak than I've already found him out to be." "Mr.
"Isn't there any decency anywhere, in any man, General Waymouth, when he gets mixed into such things?" "Don't lose your faith that way, my boy! You see, I'm even playing a few political tricks myself. Your grandfather is more than half right we have to play the game! But I'm trying a last experiment with human nature before I die.
