You
want
your
pie
too
soon
.
Wait
another
two
or
four
or
six
years
,
like
Paddy
Kerrigan
and
the
others
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
will
--
not
,
"
growled
Mr.
Tiernan
.
"
Wait
'll
the
sixth
.
"
"
No
more
,
will
I
,
"
replied
Mr.
Kerrigan
.
"
Say
,
we
know
a
trick
that
beats
that
next-year
business
to
a
pulp
.
What
?
"
"
You
're
dead
right
,
"
commented
Mr.
Tiernan
.
And
so
they
went
peacefully
home
.
The
interesting
Polk
Lynde
,
rising
one
morning
,
decided
that
his
affair
with
Aileen
,
sympathetic
as
it
was
,
must
culminate
in
the
one
fashion
satisfactory
to
him
here
and
now
--
this
day
,
if
possible
,
or
the
next
.
Since
the
luncheon
some
considerable
time
had
elapsed
,
and
although
he
had
tried
to
seek
her
out
in
various
ways
,
Aileen
,
owing
to
a
certain
feeling
that
she
must
think
and
not
jeopardize
her
future
,
had
evaded
him
.
She
realized
well
enough
that
she
was
at
the
turning
of
the
balance
,
now
that
opportunity
was
knocking
so
loudly
at
her
door
,
and
she
was
exceedingly
coy
and
distrait
.
In
spite
of
herself
the
old
grip
of
Cowperwood
was
over
her
--
the
conviction
that
he
was
such
a
tremendous
figure
in
the
world
--
and
this
made
her
strangely
disturbed
,
nebulous
,
and
meditative
.
Another
type
of
woman
,
having
troubled
as
much
as
she
had
done
,
would
have
made
short
work
of
it
,
particularly
since
the
details
in
regard
to
Mrs.
Hand
had
been
added
.
Not
so
Aileen
.
She
could
not
quite
forget
the
early
vows
and
promises
exchanged
between
them
,
nor
conquer
the
often-fractured
illusions
that
he
might
still
behave
himself
.
On
the
other
hand
,
Polk
Lynde
,
marauder
,
social
adventurer
,
a
bucaneer
of
the
affections
,
was
not
so
easily
to
be
put
aside
,
delayed
,
and
gainsaid
.
Not
unlike
Cowperwood
,
he
was
a
man
of
real
force
,
and
his
methods
,
in
so
far
as
women
were
concerned
,
were
even
more
daring
.
Long
trifling
with
the
sex
had
taught
him
that
they
were
coy
,
uncertain
,
foolishly
inconsistent
in
their
moods
,
even
with
regard
to
what
they
most
desired
.
If
one
contemplated
victory
,
it
had
frequently
to
be
taken
with
an
iron
hand
.
From
this
attitude
on
his
part
had
sprung
his
rather
dark
fame
.
Aileen
felt
it
on
the
day
that
she
took
lunch
with
him
.
His
solemn
,
dark
eyes
were
treacherously
sweet
.
She
felt
as
if
she
might
be
paving
the
way
for
some
situation
in
which
she
would
find
herself
helpless
before
his
sudden
mood
--
and
yet
she
had
come
.
But
Lynde
,
meditating
Aileen
's
delay
,
had
this
day
decided
that
he
should
get
a
definite
decision
,
and
that
it
should
be
favorable
.
He
called
her
up
at
ten
in
the
morning
and
chafed
her
concerning
her
indecision
and
changeable
moods
.
He
wanted
to
know
whether
she
would
not
come
and
see
the
paintings
at
his
friend
's
studio
--
whether
she
could
not
make
up
her
mind
to
come
to
a
barn-dance
which
some
bachelor
friends
of
his
had
arranged
.
When
she
pleaded
being
out
of
sorts
he
urged
her
to
pull
herself
together
.
"
You
're
making
things
very
difficult
for
your
admirers
,
"
he
suggested
,
sweetly
.
