"Too bad, old man. I thought you had passed that epoch; it generally comes with the cutting of one's wisdom teeth. Anyhow, we all go through it sooner or later." "Sometimes both," Brenton answered restlessly. Reed's eyes opened, with a snap. "You've been through it once before? Of course. I remember now; you started as an ultra-Calvinist, and came over with a flop.
By this time, one had got too far beyond one's depth to ask questions. If Libri could not read Italian, very clearly Adams had better not offer to help him. He took the drawing, thanked everybody, and having exhausted the experts of the British Museum, took a cab to Woolner's studio, where he showed the figure and repeated Reed's opinion.
But there were four special officers and three reporters watching the house, as a result of Max Reed's idiocy. Once, after trying all the other windows and finding them guarded, we discovered a little bit of a hole in an out-of-the-way corner that looked like a ventilator and was covered with a heavy wire screen.
After the excitement and the tragedy of the lower rooms, this place seemed as quiet as a sanctuary; and Reed's face matched the quiet, as he turned his eyes to Olive. "I suppose you know it, too," he said quite steadily. "I wanted to tell you, myself; but I couldn't seem to brace myself to the actual putting it into words. No; don't go to spilling any tears, Olive; it is too late for that.
"Y'see wouldn't tell ev'body only you," and he laid a mighty hand on Reed's shoulder. "I'm so drunk. Awful pity too bad," and he sighed deeply. "Now, Recky, ol' man, take's home." "Who's your friend, Billy?" Rex inquired, disregarding this appeal. Billy burst into a shout of laughter which Fairfax promptly clipped by putting his hand over the big man's mouth.
Harrison remarked that it was "no time to be weighing the claims of old soldiers with apothecary's scales." This philosophy was now to have its trial, but first the obstructive power of the minority must be curbed. Reed's plan for accomplishing this result appeared late in January, 1890. A contested election case was up for decision in the House.
It was an intensely warm day, the first week in July, when a card bearing the silver cross reached her. "Bad case in third ward. A young girl in the Trask tenement-house, cor. G and Tenth streets. Can you go? Get whatever you need at Reed's, and ask for Bertha Gillette, third floor." She turned to Molly. "Is it to-day you have an engagement with the dressmaker?" "Yes, at three; why?"
Once in the hall, however, Olive changed her mind about going up to Reed's room. "I think I'll wait, Mr. Brenton," she said suddenly. "Really, I have nothing much ahead of me, to-day. I can come in later, just as well; and you are a novelty, in these latter days. Go on alone, and talk man-talk to Reed. It will do him any amount more good than dozens of my visitations.
Reed's; she mouthed her words in speaking; her voice was deep, its inflections very pompous, very dogmatical, very intolerable, in short. Blanche and Mary were of equal stature, straight and tall as poplars. Mary was too slim for her height, but Blanche was moulded like a Dian. I regarded her, of course, with special interest. First, I wished to see whether her appearance accorded with Mrs.
"Don't worry, whatever else you do, and hide your magazine," said Madeline, and was off with a cheerful greeting for Helen Adams, who had come back from her afternoon at T. Reed's crammed full of Napoleonic lore and basket-ball news. "Theresa had made a table of dates and events," said Helen eagerly. "I copied it for you it's lots of help.
