Mahan, stolidly rejoicing in his victory over the top-lofty potentate whom he disliked, led the way out of the crowded vestibule into the street.
"General, you are deep; you'll have to explain." "Well, all our sort of fellows patronize something or other. They cheat a man out of his eye-teeth one day, and the next, you hear of them endowing something or other, or making a speech to a band of old women, or figuring on a top-lofty list of directors. That's the kind of thing I want." "You can get any amount of it, General, by paying for it.
