The immaculateness of his speech and manners was more than unusual; it was positively irritating, something which no Chinaman should rightfully possess. So argued Keith as he went up to Brady's bungalow. He tried to throw off the oppression of the thing that was creeping over him, the growing suspicion that he had not passed safely under the battery of Shan Tung's eyes.
Even the big forty-five had a broken hammer, and the pistol, Keith thought, might have stunned a fly at close range. He pawed the things over with the cold chisel, and the last thing he came upon buried under what looked like a cast-off sport shirt was a pasteboard shoe box. He raised the cover. The box was full of papers. Here was promise. He transported the box to Brady's table and sat down.
"Oh, yes, he has been very liberal with names for Brady, since Brady fell into arrears for his board. Well, that's one of his sarcasms the old man thinks he's great on sarcasm." "Well, what is Brady's difficulty? What is Brady who is he?" "Brady is a tinner. He's a young journeyman tinner who was getting along all right till he fell sick and lost his job.
How futile he and his little pop-gun appeared as he dashed after that living engine of destruction! But, oh, how glorious! It was some such thought as this that ran through Brady's mind, though articulated it might have been expressed otherwise, albeit more forcefully.
They don't like to say nothin', seem' he's cookin' at General Brady's, but if he ever leaves there, he'll have pick and choice. Yes, sir, pick and choice," concluded a third. At that very moment a dry goods merchant of the west side of the square was in the bank talking to General Brady. "I might as well speak," Mr. Farnham had thought. "If I don't get him, somebody else will."
"I knew you'd see it; so I wanted to be along with you," he said in a voice like that of a tragic schoolboy. Adams turned to him immediately, with a restraint which had succeeded his first quivering exclamation. "So you knew that Brady's wife meant to sue for a divorce?" he asked.
"Comrade Brown," he said at last, "I wish this little journal of ours had a sporting page." Betty laughed. "Less ribaldry," protested Smith pained. "This is a sad affair. You saw the man I was talking to? That was Kid Brady. I used to know him when I was out West. He wants to fight anyone in the country at a hundred and thirty-three pounds. We all have our hobbies. That is Comrade Brady's."
"No fear, Myles; no fear," said the laughing girl, running round the table. "It won't be left on your hands; I'll wear it to-morrow at Mary Brady's wedding." "But you won't keep it from me without paying me, Feemy?" "Oh, paying you, Captain Ussher; oh, I'll pay you, bring in your bill;" and she came round to him, and he took her in his arms and kissed her.
This angered the jeweler, and he punished his nephew severely for his misconduct. A pleasant position on a farm was secured for the man called Dan, who promised to lead an honest life in the future. As to Ned, the homeless lad felt that the greatest happiness in the world had come into his life. The lawyer, Grimm, had been frightened into telling all about Brady's plot.
He had hoped to the last that she would be with several others, but he perceived when she came out at Brady's side, with her babyish chin tilted upward and her thin features working in a forced and unhealthy animation, that they were alone and would probably be alone for the remainder of the evening.
