How
long
will
you
be
here
?
"
"
Not
more
than
a
day
or
two
.
"
"
Let
me
see
,
"
and
Mr.
Addison
drew
out
his
watch
.
"
I
suppose
you
would
n't
mind
meeting
a
few
of
our
leading
men
--
and
we
have
a
little
luncheon-room
over
at
the
Union
League
Club
where
we
drop
in
now
and
then
.
If
you
'd
care
to
do
so
,
I
'd
like
to
have
you
come
along
with
me
at
one
.
We
're
sure
to
find
a
few
of
them
--
some
of
our
lawyers
,
business
men
,
and
judges
.
"
"
That
will
be
fine
,
"
said
the
Philadelphian
,
simply
.
"
You
're
more
than
generous
.
There
are
one
or
two
other
people
I
want
to
meet
in
between
,
and
"

he
arose
and
looked
at
his
own
watch

"
I
'll
find
the
Union
Club

Where
is
the
office
of
Arneel
&
Co.
?
"
At
the
mention
of
the
great
beef-packer
,
who
was
one
of
the
bank
's
heaviest
depositors
,
Addison
stirred
slightly
with
approval
.
This
young
man
,
at
least
eight
years
his
junior
,
looked
to
him
like
a
future
grand
seigneur
of
finance
.
At
the
Union
Club
,
at
this
noontime
luncheon
,
after
talking
with
the
portly
,
conservative
,
aggressive
Arneel
and
the
shrewd
director
of
the
stock-exchange
,
Cowperwood
met
a
varied
company
of
men
ranging
in
age
from
thirty-five
to
sixty-five
gathered
about
the
board
in
a
private
dining-room
of
heavily
carved
black
walnut
,
with
pictures
of
elder
citizens
of
Chicago
on
the
walls
and
an
attempt
at
artistry
in
stained
glass
in
the
windows
.
There
were
short
and
long
men
,
lean
and
stout
,
dark
and
blond
men
,
with
eyes
and
jaws
which
varied
from
those
of
the
tiger
,
lynx
,
and
bear
to
those
of
the
fox
,
the
tolerant
mastiff
,
and
the
surly
bulldog
.
There
were
no
weaklings
in
this
selected
company
.
Mr.
Arneel
and
Mr.
Addison
Cowperwood
approved
of
highly
as
shrewd
,
concentrated
men
.
Another
who
interested
him
was
Anson
Merrill
,
a
small
,
polite
,
recherche
soul
,
suggesting
mansions
and
footmen
and
remote
luxury
generally
,
who
was
pointed
out
by
Addison
as
the
famous
dry-goods
prince
of
that
name
,
quite
the
leading
merchant
,
in
the
retail
and
wholesale
sense
,
in
Chicago
.
