His respect and confidence almost made Galton cry at times, because they recalled to him days when he had been nineteen and had regarded New York journalists with reverence. He liked Tembarom more and more.

That was the way it struck him.
"You can buy anything you like," Palford answered stiffly. "It is not a matter of buying. But I should not be conducting myself properly toward you if I allowed it. It would not be becoming." "Becoming!" cried Tembarom, "Thunder! It's not a spring bat. I tell you I want to go just that way." Palford saw abnormal breakers ahead.
