But
if
you
offered
to
combine
with
them
I
see
no
objection
.
It
's
certain
to
be
as
good
for
them
in
the
long
run
as
it
is
for
you
.
This
merely
permits
you
to
make
a
better
bargain
.
"
"
Exactly
,
"
said
Cowperwood
.
"
And
you
have
the
means
,
you
tell
me
,
to
lay
mains
in
every
part
of
the
city
,
and
fight
with
them
for
business
if
they
wo
n't
give
in
?
"
"
I
have
the
means
,
"
said
Cowperwood
,
"
or
if
I
have
n't
I
can
get
them
.
"
Mr.
McKenty
looked
at
Mr.
Cowperwood
very
solemnly
.
There
was
a
kind
of
mutual
sympathy
,
understanding
,
and
admiration
between
the
two
men
,
but
it
was
still
heavily
veiled
by
self-interest
.
To
Mr.
McKenty
Cowperwood
was
interesting
because
he
was
one
of
the
few
business
men
he
had
met
who
were
not
ponderous
,
pharasaical
,
even
hypocritical
when
they
were
dealing
with
him
.
"
Well
,
I
'll
tell
you
what
I
'll
do
,
Mr.
Cowperwood
,
"
he
said
,
finally
.
"
I
'll
take
it
all
under
consideration
.
Let
me
think
it
over
until
Monday
,
anyhow
.
There
is
more
of
an
excuse
now
for
the
introduction
of
a
general
gas
ordinance
than
there
would
be
a
little
later
--
I
can
see
that
.
Why
do
n't
you
draw
up
your
proposed
franchise
and
let
me
see
it
?
Then
we
might
find
out
what
some
of
the
other
gentlemen
of
the
city
council
think
.
"
Cowperwood
almost
smiled
at
the
word
"
gentlemen
.
"
"
I
have
already
done
that
,
"
he
said
.
"
Here
it
is
.
"
McKenty
took
it
,
surprised
and
yet
pleased
at
this
evidence
of
business
proficiency
He
liked
a
strong
manipulator
of
this
kind
--
the
more
since
he
was
not
one
himself
,
and
most
of
those
that
he
did
know
were
thin-blooded
and
squeamish
.
