Geddie
came
down
to
the
consulate
to
explain
the
duties
and
workings
of
the
office
.
He
and
Keogh
tried
to
interest
the
new
consul
in
their
description
of
the
work
that
his
government
expected
him
to
perform
.
"
It
's
all
right
,
"
said
Johnny
from
the
hammock
that
he
had
set
up
as
the
official
reclining
place
.
"
If
anything
turns
up
that
has
to
be
done
I
'll
let
you
fellows
do
it
.
You
ca
n't
expect
a
Democrat
to
work
during
his
first
term
of
holding
office
.
"
"
You
might
look
over
these
headings
,
"
suggested
Geddie
,
"
of
the
different
lines
of
exports
you
will
have
to
keep
account
of
.
The
fruit
is
classified
;
and
there
are
the
valuable
woods
,
coffee
,
rubber
--
"
"
That
last
account
sounds
all
right
,
"
interrupted
Mr.
Atwood
.
"
Sounds
as
if
it
could
be
stretched
.
I
want
to
buy
a
new
flag
,
a
monkey
,
a
guitar
and
a
barrel
of
pineapples
.
Will
that
rubber
account
stretch
over
'em
?
"
"
That
's
merely
statistics
,
"
said
Geddie
,
smiling
.
"
The
expense
account
is
what
you
want
.
It
is
supposed
to
have
a
slight
elasticity
.
The
'
stationery
'
items
are
sometimes
carelessly
audited
by
the
State
Department
.
"
"
We
're
wasting
our
time
,
"
said
Keogh
.
"
This
man
was
born
to
hold
office
.
He
penetrates
to
the
root
of
the
art
at
one
step
of
his
eagle
eye
.
The
true
genius
of
government
shows
its
hand
in
every
word
of
his
speech
.
"
"
I
did
n't
take
this
job
with
any
intention
of
working
,
"
explained
Johnny
,
lazily
.
"
I
wanted
to
go
somewhere
in
the
world
where
they
did
n't
talk
about
farms
.
There
are
none
here
,
are
there
?
"
"
Not
the
kind
you
are
acquainted
with
,
"
answered
the
exconsul
.
"
There
is
no
such
art
here
as
agriculture
.
There
never
was
a
plow
or
a
reaper
within
the
boundaries
of
Anchuria
.
"
"
This
is
the
country
for
me
,
"
murmured
the
consul
,
and
immediately
he
fell
asleep
.
