In the course of his work William was frequently in the law courts, and one sultry September afternoon, this was in the first year of his engagement with Whimple, he got into an argument with the office boy of another lawyer on the merits of the Toronto baseball team.
They hung to William closely for a while, with hazy notions only of what to do with themselves, and from sheer embarrassment rebuffing the kindly advances of Miss Whimple and the maid.
What one or what combination of any or all of these qualities Whimple found quite early in William still remains a mystery. Coming back to William, it is to be observed that while he became Grand Master of Ceremonies in full charge of the office routine, he exercised his authority with discretion and tact.
Only, a long time ago quite a long time ago, or perhaps I only dream that it was long ago," he stammered and paused, and then went on. "She would have been thirty years old now, wedded, no doubt, a mother, perhaps what dreams what dreams " Again he paused. Tommy Watson rose softly, went to the front door, deliberately locked it, and then returned to Whimple and Epstein who was talking again.
"Honest, lady, I don't know. He " And here Whimple entered by the back door. For collectors were beginning at this time to come in with requests for payments of the monthly bills incidental to the upkeep of an office, and it was the part of wisdom to ascertain before entering the office whether any such were "at anchor."
It was William's first piece of typewriting for his boss, and he was mightily proud of it, for it was neatly done, so neatly done in fact that it did not need a single correction. And William's pride was the greater because he was asked to accompany Whimple to the store, there to witness the signing of the agreement.
"Are you through?" "Well, that's all I can think of just now." "But what's the use? You haven't got the shadow of a chance. Why, the government 'll be returned hands down." "Sure; but 'The Big Wind' won't. He'll be returned sky high. Don't you forget it. Why, Mid-Toronto's just seething, Whimple just seething.
I was in and outer the store, and neither of 'em even looked at me." Whimple bade adieu to the crown attorney, and started away with William. "What are they fighting about now, William?" said Whimple, disgustedly, as he hurried along the street with William by his side. "Home r'rule fer I'r'r'reland or 'ome rule for Hireland! I don't know just which," answered William with a smile.
Simmons he had met in the clerking days; the young architect was financially better equipped than the lawyer, and Whimple had not hesitated at times to accept of his assistance though he never felt free until the obligation had been repaid. It was Simmons who had insisted on the arrangement for the adjoining office, though Whimple at first had strongly demurred.
Whimple started to repeat his hope when he became aware that Tommy was shaking his head and holding a finger to his lips. Whimple thereupon broke off in the middle of a sentence and kept silence. Epstein was looking at him, but not with the eyes of one who sees the object he gazes on. Whimple thought to himself that he had never dreamed the retired comedian was as old as he looked now.
