Good
work
,
good
work
!
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
cheerfully
.
"
This
row
will
all
blow
over
.
It
would
be
the
same
whenever
we
asked
.
The
air
will
clear
up
.
We
'll
give
them
such
a
fine
service
that
they
'll
forget
all
about
this
,
and
be
glad
they
gave
us
the
tunnel
.
"
Just
the
same
,
the
morning
after
the
enabling
ordinances
had
passed
,
there
was
much
derogatory
comment
in
influential
quarters
.
Mr.
Norman
Schryhart
,
who
,
through
his
publisher
,
had
been
fulminating
defensively
against
Cowperwood
,
stared
solemnly
at
Mr.
Ricketts
when
they
met
.
"
Well
,
"
said
the
magnate
,
who
imagined
he
foresaw
a
threatened
attack
on
his
Chicago
City
Street
Railway
preserves
,
"
I
see
our
friend
Mr.
Cowperwood
has
managed
to
get
his
own
way
with
the
council
.
I
am
morally
certain
he
uses
money
to
get
what
he
is
after
as
freely
as
a
fireman
uses
water
.
He
's
as
slippery
as
an
eel
.
I
should
be
glad
if
we
could
establish
that
there
is
a
community
of
interest
between
him
and
these
politicians
around
City
Hall
,
or
between
him
and
Mr.
McKenty
.
I
believe
he
has
set
out
to
dominate
this
city
politically
as
well
as
financially
,
and
he
'll
need
constant
watching
.
If
public
opinion
can
be
aroused
against
him
he
may
be
dislodged
in
the
course
of
time
.
Chicago
may
get
too
uncomfortable
for
him
.
I
know
Mr.
McKenty
personally
,
but
he
is
not
the
kind
of
man
I
care
to
do
business
with
.
"
Mr.
Schryhart
's
method
of
negotiating
at
City
Hall
was
through
certain
reputable
but
somewhat
slow-going
lawyers
who
were
in
the
employ
of
the
South
Side
company
.
They
had
never
been
able
to
reach
Mr.
McKenty
at
all
.
Ricketts
echoed
a
hearty
approval
.
"
You
're
very
right
,
"
he
said
,
with
owlish
smugness
,
adjusting
a
waistcoat
button
that
had
come
loose
,
and
smoothing
his
cuffs
.
"
He
's
a
prince
of
politicians
.
We
'll
have
to
look
sharp
if
we
ever
trap
him
"
Mr.
Ricketts
would
have
been
glad
to
sell
out
to
Mr.
Cowperwood
,
if
he
had
not
been
so
heavily
obligated
to
Mr.
Schryhart
.
He
had
no
especial
affection
for
Cowperwood
,
but
he
recognized
in
him
a
coming
man
.
Young
MacDonald
,
talking
to
Clifford
Du
Bois
in
the
office
of
the
Inquirer
,
and
reflecting
how
little
his
private
telephone
message
had
availed
him
,
was
in
a
waspish
,
ironic
frame
of
mind
.
"
Well
,
"
he
said
,
"
it
seems
our
friend
Cowperwood
has
n't
taken
our
advice
.
He
may
make
his
mark
,
but
the
Inquirer
is
n't
through
with
him
by
a
long
shot
.
He
'll
be
wanting
other
things
from
the
city
in
the
future
.
"
Clifford
Du
Bois
regarded
his
acid
young
superior
with
a
curious
eye
.
He
knew
nothing
of
MacDonald
's
private
telephone
message
to
Cowperwood
;
but
he
knew
how
he
himself
would
have
dealt
with
the
crafty
financier
had
he
been
in
MacDonald
's
position
.
"
Yes
,
Cowperwood
is
shrewd
,
"
was
his
comment
.
"
Pritchard
,
our
political
man
,
says
the
ways
of
the
City
Hall
are
greased
straight
up
to
the
mayor
and
McKenty
,
and
that
Cowperwood
can
have
anything
he
wants
at
any
time
.
Tom
Dowling
eats
out
of
his
hand
,
and
you
know
what
that
means
.
Old
General
Van
Sickle
is
working
for
him
in
some
way
.
