章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁：   "'Jeff,' says Andy after a long time,'quite unseldom I haveseen fit to impugn your molars when you have been chewingthe rag with me about your conscientious way of doingbusiness. I may have been often wrong. But here is a casewhere I think we can agree. I feel that it would be wrong forus to allow Mr. Murkison to go alone to meet those Chicagogreen goods men. There is but one way it can end. Don't youthink we would both feel better if we was to intervene insome way and prevent the doing of this deed?' "I got up and shook Andy Tucker's hand hard and long. "'Andy,' says I, 'I may have had one or two hard thoughtsabout the heartlessness of your corporation. but I retract 'emnow. You have a kind nucleus at the interior of your exteriorafter all. It does you credit. I was just thinking the samething that you have expressed. It would not be honorable orpraiseworthy,' says I,'for us to let Murkison go on with thisproject he has taken up. If he is determined to go let us gowith him and prevent this swindle from coming off.' "Andy agreed with me; and I was glad to see that he wasin earnest about breaking up this green goods scheme. "'I don't call myself a religious man.' says I, 'or a fanatic inmoral bigotry, but I can't stand still and see a man who hasbuilt up his business by his own efforts and brains and riskbe robbed by an unscrupulous trickster who is a menace tothe public good.' "'Right, Jeff,' says Andy. 'We'll stick right along withMurkison if he insists on going and block this funnybusiness. I'd hate to see any money dropped in it as bad asyou would.'
