Rushcroft, fellow named Barnes. Quite a swell, believe me." It was a well-placed tip, for Mr. Rushcroft had been telling the natives for days that he knew everybody worth knowing in New York. Barnes was momentarily taken aback. Then he rose to the spirit of the occasion. "Hello, Rushcroft," he greeted, as if meeting an old time and greatly beloved friend. "This IS good.
Why, man, with you at my back I'd laugh at twenty fellows like these. They simply don't count." It was another well-placed shot, and he saw Rankin flush heavily with pleasure.
