There
's
a
line
that
I
know
of
here
in
the
city
which
could
be
made
into
a
splendidly
paying
property
,
"
continued
Cowperwood
,
meditatively
,
"
if
the
right
things
could
be
done
with
it
.
Just
like
this
North
Pennsylvania
line
,
it
is
n't
long
enough
.
The
territory
it
serves
is
n't
big
enough
.
It
ought
to
be
extended
;
but
if
you
and
I
could
get
it
,
it
might
eventually
be
worked
with
this
North
Pennsylvania
Company
or
some
other
as
one
company
.
That
would
save
officers
and
offices
and
a
lot
of
things
.
There
is
always
money
to
be
made
out
of
a
larger
purchasing
power
.
"
He
paused
and
looked
out
the
window
of
his
handsome
little
hardwood
office
,
speculating
upon
the
future
.
The
window
gave
nowhere
save
into
a
back
yard
behind
another
office
building
which
had
formerly
been
a
residence
.
Some
grass
grew
feebly
there
.
The
red
wall
and
old-fashioned
brick
fence
which
divided
it
from
the
next
lot
reminded
him
somehow
of
his
old
home
in
New
Market
Street
,
to
which
his
Uncle
Seneca
used
to
come
as
a
Cuban
trader
followed
by
his
black
Portuguese
servitor
.
He
could
see
him
now
as
he
sat
here
looking
at
the
yard
.
"
Well
,
"
asked
Stener
,
ambitiously
,
taking
the
bait
,
"
why
do
n't
we
get
hold
of
that
--
you
and
me
?
I
suppose
I
could
fix
it
so
far
as
the
money
is
concerned
.
How
much
would
it
take
?
"
Cowperwood
smiled
inwardly
again
.
"
I
do
n't
know
exactly
,
"
he
said
,
after
a
time
.
"
I
want
to
look
into
it
more
carefully
.
The
one
trouble
is
that
I
'm
carrying
a
good
deal
of
the
city
's
money
as
it
is
.
You
see
,
I
have
that
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
against
your
city-loan
deals
.
And
this
new
scheme
will
take
two
or
three
hundred
thousand
more
.
If
that
were
out
of
the
way
--
"
He
was
thinking
of
one
of
the
inexplicable
stock
panics
--
those
strange
American
depressions
which
had
so
much
to
do
with
the
temperament
of
the
people
,
and
so
little
to
do
with
the
basic
conditions
of
the
country
.
"
If
this
North
Pennsylvania
deal
were
through
and
done
with
--
"
He
rubbed
his
chin
and
pulled
at
his
handsome
silky
mustache
.
"
Do
n't
ask
me
any
more
about
it
,
George
,
"
he
said
,
finally
,
as
he
saw
that
the
latter
was
beginning
to
think
as
to
which
line
it
might
be
.
"
Do
n't
say
anything
at
all
about
it
.
I
want
to
get
my
facts
exactly
right
,
and
then
I
'll
talk
to
you
.
I
think
you
and
I
can
do
this
thing
a
little
later
,
when
we
get
the
North
Pennsylvania
scheme
under
way
.
I
'm
so
rushed
just
now
I
'm
not
sure
that
I
want
to
undertake
it
at
once
;
but
you
keep
quiet
and
we
'll
see
.
"
He
turned
toward
his
desk
,
and
Stener
got
up
.
"
I
'll
make
any
sized
deposit
with
you
that
you
wish
,
the
moment
you
think
you
're
ready
to
act
,
Frank
,
"
exclaimed
Stener
,
and
with
the
thought
that
Cowperwood
was
not
nearly
as
anxious
to
do
this
as
he
should
be
,
since
he
could
always
rely
on
him
(
Stener
)
when
there
was
anything
really
profitable
in
the
offing
.
Why
should
not
the
able
and
wonderful
Cowperwood
be
allowed
to
make
the
two
of
them
rich
?
"
Just
notify
Stires
,
and
he
'll
send
you
a
check
.
Strobik
thought
we
ought
to
act
pretty
soon
.
"
