If further evidence of the collapse of the party were required, it was furnished by the attitude and character of the candidates. Fillmore was a passive candidate. Webster, his Secretary of State, was an eager competitor. General Scott, though without experience in civil affairs, was the third candidate and received the nomination.
They had worked a miracle of abundance in the desert but of what avail? For the soul of their faith was gone. He felt or heard the proof of it on every hand. Through Battle Creek, Provo, and Springville he went; through Spanish Fork, Payson, Salt Creek, and Fillmore. He stopped to preach at each place, but he did it perfunctorily, and with shame for himself in his secret heart.
The lecture had taken place in the street outside the boarding-house immediately on the conclusion of the festivities, when Fillmore, who had furtively collected his hat and overcoat, had stolen forth into the night, had been overtaken and brought to bay by his justly indignant sister. Her remarks, punctuated at intervals by bleating sounds from the accused, had lasted some ten minutes.
He pulled out her chair for her and she sat down, confronted by a series of knives, forks, and spoons on either side of a plate of oysters. Oysters served in this fashion, needless to say, had never formed part of the menu in Fillmore Street, or in any Hampton restaurant where she had lunched. But she saw that Ditmar had chosen a little fork with three prongs, and she followed his example.
I lent Fillmore the money to buy that piece, which gave Elsa her first big chance, and so she's very grateful. She says, if ever she gets the opportunity of doing me a good turn... Aren't things muddled? "And there was a letter from Gerald. I was expecting one, of course, but... what would you have done, Ginger? Would you have read it?
"One of the greatest character actresses on the stage," said Fillmore bitterly, talking over this outrage with Sally on the morning after the production. From this blow, however, his buoyant nature had soon enabled him to rally. Life contained so much that was bright that it would have been churlish to concentrate the attention on the one dark spot.
Once he told me that Daniel Webster had said to him: "Fillmore, I like Clay I like Clay very much but he rides rough, sir; damned rough!" I was fond of going to the Capitol and of playing amateur page in the House, of which my father had been a member and where he had many friends, though I was never officially a page.
That Fillmore Nicholas, the Man of Destiny, should have descended to conducting a restaurant and a little restaurant at that struck him as almost indecent. Sally, on the other hand for sisters always seem to fail in proper reverence for the greatness of their brothers was delighted. "It's the most splendid idea," she said with enthusiasm.
Hardly was General Taylor decently buried in the Congressional Cemetery when the political struggle recommenced, and it became manifest that Mr. Fillmore favored the general compromise then known as Henry Clay's "Omnibus Bill," and that a general change of cabinet would at once occur: Webster was to succeed Mr. Clayton as Secretary of State, Corwin to succeed Mr.
"Ginger, look at this!" He reached down and took the slip of paper which she held out to him. The following legend met his eye, printed in bold letters: POPP'S Ginger regarded this cipher with a puzzled frown. "What is it?" he asked. "It's Fillmore." "How do you mean?" Sally gurgled. "Fillmore and Gladys have started a little restaurant in Pittsburg." "A restaurant!"
