"
I
have
always
thought
they
were
merely
climbers
,
"
continued
Mrs.
Merrill
.
"
From
what
I
hear
she
is
impossible
.
I
never
saw
her
.
"
"
He
begins
well
for
a
Philadelphian
,
"
smiled
Merrill
.
"
I
've
seen
him
at
the
Calumet
.
He
looks
like
a
very
shrewd
man
to
me
.
He
's
going
about
his
work
in
a
brisk
spirit
,
anyhow
.
"
Similarly
Mr.
Norman
Schryhart
,
a
man
who
up
to
this
time
had
taken
no
thought
of
Cowperwood
,
although
he
had
noted
his
appearance
about
the
halls
of
the
Calumet
and
Union
League
Clubs
,
began
to
ask
seriously
who
he
was
.
Schryhart
,
a
man
of
great
physical
and
mental
vigor
,
six
feet
tall
,
hale
and
stolid
as
an
ox
,
a
very
different
type
of
man
from
Anson
Merrill
,
met
Addison
one
day
at
the
Calumet
Club
shortly
after
the
newspaper
talk
began
.
Sinking
into
a
great
leather
divan
beside
him
,
he
observed
:
"
Who
is
this
man
Cowperwood
whose
name
is
in
the
papers
these
days
,
Addison
?
You
know
:
all
these
people
.
Did
n't
you
introduce
him
to
me
once
?
"
"
I
surely
did
,
"
replied
Addison
,
cheerfully
,
who
,
in
spite
of
the
attacks
on
Cowperwood
,
was
rather
pleased
than
otherwise
.
It
was
quite
plain
from
the
concurrent
excitement
that
attended
all
this
struggle
,
that
Cowperwood
must
be
managing
things
rather
adroitly
,
and
,
best
of
all
,
he
was
keeping
his
backers
'
names
from
view
.
"
He
's
a
Philadelphian
by
birth
.
He
came
out
here
several
years
ago
,
and
went
into
the
grain
and
commission
business
.
He
's
a
banker
now
.
A
rather
shrewd
man
,
I
should
say
.
He
has
a
lot
of
money
.
"
"
Is
it
true
,
as
the
papers
say
,
that
he
failed
for
a
million
in
Philadelphia
in
1871
?
"
"
In
so
far
as
I
know
,
it
is
.
"
"
Well
,
was
he
in
the
penitentiary
down
there
?
"
"
I
think
so
--
yes
.
