Flint, and incidentally with Senator Whitredge." "Knowed Whitredge afore you had any teeth," said Mr. Braden, who did not seem to be greatly impressed, "know him intimate. What'd you go to Flint for?" "We have interests in common," said Mr. Crewe, "and I am rather a close friend of his. My going to the Legislature will be, I think, to our mutual advantage."
Mr. Whitredge laughed, and blew out a ring of smoke. Mr. Flint's face remained sober. "Now, Mr. Flint," Mr. Crewe went on, "you and I understand each other, and we're on the same side of the fence. I have inherited some interests in corporations myself, and I have acquired an interest in others. I am a director in several.
Crewe's ear, with the air of conveying a mild but well-merited reproof, "You'd ought to come right to me in the first place. I could have saved you all that unnecessary trouble of seein' folks. There hasn't be'n a representative left the town of Leith for thirty years that I hain't agreed to. Whitredge knows that. If I say you kin go, you kin go. You understand," said Mr.
Every sober-minded citizen, will agree that they give us a pretty good government. More power to them." Mr. Crewe permitted himself to smile. "They are playing into our hands, sure enough. What?"

The Honourable Hilary, who was looking over some papers, shot at him a glance from under his shaggy eyebrows. "Came in here to find out didn't you, Whitredge?" he replied.

"I don't wish it," I said; and since this was practically telling Whitredge not to do so, he did not cross-examine the two witnesses. When the prosecution rested, Whitredge took up his line of defense.
And with this impressive command, received with nods of understanding, Senator Whitredge advanced slowly towards Number Seven, knocked, and entered.
