All
right
,
then
,
"
Martin
said
.
"
I
’
ll
pay
the
thirty
-
five
a
month
,
and
—
"
He
reached
across
the
table
for
the
check
.
But
Bernard
Higginbotham
got
his
hand
on
it
first
,
crying
:
"
I
accept
!
I
accept
!
"
When
Martin
got
on
the
electric
car
,
he
was
very
sick
and
tired
.
He
looked
up
at
the
assertive
sign
.
"
The
swine
,
"
he
groaned
.
"
The
swine
,
the
swine
.
"
When
Mackintosh
’
s
Magazine
published
"
The
Palmist
,
"
featuring
it
with
decorations
by
Berthier
and
with
two
pictures
by
Wenn
,
Hermann
von
Schmidt
forgot
that
he
had
called
the
verses
obscene
.
He
announced
that
his
wife
had
inspired
the
poem
,
saw
to
it
that
the
news
reached
the
ears
of
a
reporter
,
and
submitted
to
an
interview
by
a
staff
writer
who
was
accompanied
by
a
staff
photographer
and
a
staff
artist
.
The
result
was
a
full
page
in
a
Sunday
supplement
,
filled
with
photographs
and
idealized
drawings
of
Marian
,
with
many
intimate
details
of
Martin
Eden
and
his
family
,
and
with
the
full
text
of
"
The
Palmist
"
in
large
type
,
and
republished
by
special
permission
of
Mackintosh
’
s
Magazine
.
It
caused
quite
a
stir
in
the
neighborhood
,
and
good
housewives
were
proud
to
have
the
acquaintances
of
the
great
writer
’
s
sister
,
while
those
who
had
not
made
haste
to
cultivate
it
.
Hermann
von
Schmidt
chuckled
in
his
little
repair
shop
and
decided
to
order
a
new
lathe
.
"
Better
than
advertising
,
"
he
told
Marian
,
"
and
it
costs
nothing
.
"
"
We
’
d
better
have
him
to
dinner
,
"
she
suggested
.
And
to
dinner
Martin
came
,
making
himself
agreeable
with
the
fat
wholesale
butcher
and
his
fatter
wife
—
important
folk
,
they
,
likely
to
be
of
use
to
a
rising
young
man
like
Hermann
Von
Schmidt
.
No
less
a
bait
,
however
,
had
been
required
to
draw
them
to
his
house
than
his
great
brother
-
in
-
law
.
Another
man
at
table
who
had
swallowed
the
same
bait
was
the
superintendent
of
the
Pacific
Coast
agencies
for
the
Asa
Bicycle
Company
.
Him
Von
Schmidt
desired
to
please
and
propitiate
because
from
him
could
be
obtained
the
Oakland
agency
for
the
bicycle
.
So
Hermann
von
Schmidt
found
it
a
goodly
asset
to
have
Martin
for
a
brother
-
in
-
law
,
but
in
his
heart
of
hearts
he
couldn
’
t
understand
where
it
all
came
in
.
In
the
silent
watches
of
the
night
,
while
his
wife
slept
,
he
had
floundered
through
Martin
’
s
books
and
poems
,
and
decided
that
the
world
was
a
fool
to
buy
them
.
And
in
his
heart
of
hearts
Martin
understood
the
situation
only
too
well
,
as
he
leaned
back
and
gloated
at
Von
Schmidt
’
s
head
,
in
fancy
punching
it
well
-
nigh
off
of
him
,
sending
blow
after
blow
home
just
right
—
the
chuckle
-
headed
Dutchman
!
One
thing
he
did
like
about
him
,
however
.
