When
McKenty
read
it
he
simply
observed
:
"
There
are
other
ways
of
going
to
City
Hall
than
by
going
yourself
.
"
He
was
depending
upon
a
councilmanic
majority
at
least
.
However
,
in
the
midst
of
this
uproar
the
goings
to
and
fro
of
Gilgan
,
Edstrom
,
Kerrigan
,
and
Tiernan
were
nor
fully
grasped
.
A
more
urbanely
shifty
pair
than
these
latter
were
never
seen
.
While
fraternizing
secretly
with
both
Gilgan
and
Edstrom
,
laying
out
their
political
programme
most
neatly
,
they
were
at
the
same
time
conferring
with
Dowling
,
Duvanicki
,
even
McKenty
himself
.
Seeing
that
the
outcome
was
,
for
some
reason
--
he
could
scarcely
see
why
--
looking
very
uncertain
,
McKenty
one
day
asked
the
two
of
them
to
come
to
see
him
.
On
getting
the
letter
Mr.
Tiernan
strolled
over
to
Mr.
Kerrigan
's
place
to
see
whether
he
also
had
received
a
message
.
"
Sure
,
sure
!
I
did
!
"
replied
Mr.
Kerrigan
,
gaily
.
"
Here
it
is
now
in
me
outside
coat
pocket
.
'
Dear
Mr.
Kerrigan
,
"
'
he
read
,
"
'
wo
n't
you
do
me
the
favor
to
come
over
to-morrow
evening
at
seven
and
dine
with
me
?
Mr.
Ungerich
,
Mr.
Duvanicki
,
and
several
others
will
very
likely
drop
in
afterward
.
I
have
asked
Mr.
Tiernan
to
come
at
the
same
time
.
Sincerely
,
John
J.
McKenty
.
'
That
's
the
way
he
does
it
,
"
added
Mr.
Kerrigan
;
"
just
like
that
.
He
kissed
the
letter
mockingly
and
put
it
back
into
his
pocket
.
"
Sure
I
got
one
,
jist
the
same
way
.
The
very
same
langwidge
,
nearly
,
"
commented
Mr.
Tiernan
,
sweetly
.
"
He
's
beginning
to
wake
up
,
eh
?
What
!
The
little
old
first
and
second
are
beginning
to
look
purty
big
just
now
,
eh
?
What
!
"
"
Tush
!
"
observed
Mr.
Kerrigan
to
Mr.
Tiernan
,
with
a
marked
sardonic
emphasis
,
"
that
combination
wo
n't
last
forever
.
They
've
been
getting
too
big
for
their
pants
,
I
'm
thinking
.
Well
,
it
's
a
long
road
,
eh
?
It
's
pretty
near
time
,
what
?
"
"
You
're
right
,
"
responded
Mr.
Tiernan
,
feelingly
.
"
It
is
a
long
road
.
These
are
the
two
big
wards
of
the
city
,
and
everybody
knows
it
.
If
we
turn
on
them
at
the
last
moment
where
will
they
be
,
eh
?
"
He
put
a
fat
finger
alongside
of
his
heavy
reddish
nose
and
looked
at
Mr.
Kerrigan
out
of
squinted
eyes
.
"
You
're
damned
right
,
"
replied
the
little
politician
,
cheerfully
.
