This
irritated
the
dominating
,
self-sufficient
Schryhart
a
little
,
but
nevertheless
he
was
satisfied
that
a
conference
could
do
no
harm
in
this
instance
--
was
advisable
,
in
fact
.
So
one
Wednesday
afternoon
he
journeyed
to
the
office
of
Cowperwood
,
and
was
most
hospitably
received
.
"
How
do
you
do
,
Mr.
Schryhart
,
"
observed
Cowperwood
,
cordially
,
extending
his
hand
.
"
I
'm
glad
to
see
you
again
.
I
believe
we
met
once
before
several
years
ago
.
"
"
I
think
so
myself
,
"
replied
Mr.
Schryhart
,
who
was
broad-shouldered
,
square-headed
,
black-eyed
,
and
with
a
short
black
mustache
gracing
a
firm
upper
lip
.
He
had
hard
,
dark
,
piercing
eyes
.
"
I
see
by
the
papers
,
if
they
can
be
trusted
,
"
he
said
,
coming
direct
to
the
point
,
"
that
you
are
interesting
yourself
in
local
gas
.
Is
that
true
?
"
"
I
'm
afraid
the
papers
can
not
be
generally
relied
on
,
"
replied
Cowperwood
,
quite
blandly
.
"
Would
you
mind
telling
me
what
makes
you
interested
to
know
whether
I
am
or
not
?
"
"
Well
,
to
tell
the
truth
,
"
replied
Schryhart
,
staring
at
the
financier
,
"
I
am
interested
in
this
local
gas
situation
myself
.
It
offers
a
rather
profitable
field
for
investment
,
and
several
members
of
the
old
companies
have
come
to
me
recently
to
ask
me
to
help
them
combine
.
"
(
This
was
not
true
at
all
.
)
"
I
have
been
wondering
what
chance
you
thought
you
had
of
winning
along
the
lines
you
are
now
taking
.
"
Cowperwood
smiled
.
"
I
hardly
care
to
discuss
that
,
"
he
said
,
"
unless
I
know
much
more
of
your
motives
and
connections
than
I
do
at
present
.
Do
I
understand
that
you
have
really
been
appealed
to
by
stockholders
of
the
old
companies
to
come
in
and
help
adjust
this
matter
?
"
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Schryhart
.
"
And
you
think
you
can
get
them
to
combine
?
On
what
basis
?
"
"
Oh
,
I
should
say
it
would
be
a
simple
matter
to
give
each
of
them
two
or
three
shares
of
a
new
company
for
one
in
each
of
the
old
.
We
could
then
elect
one
set
of
officers
.
