Finally
he
left
the
club
to
keep
his
other
appointments
,
but
something
of
his
personality
remained
behind
him
.
Mr.
Addison
and
Mr.
Rambaud
,
among
others
,
were
sincerely
convinced
that
he
was
one
of
the
most
interesting
men
they
had
met
in
years
.
And
he
scarcely
had
said
anything
at
all
--
just
listened
.
After
his
first
visit
to
the
bank
over
which
Addison
presided
,
and
an
informal
dinner
at
the
latter
's
home
,
Cowperwood
had
decided
that
he
did
not
care
to
sail
under
any
false
colors
so
far
as
Addison
was
concerned
.
He
was
too
influential
and
well
connected
.
Besides
,
Cowperwood
liked
him
too
much
.
Seeing
that
the
man
's
leaning
toward
him
was
strong
,
in
reality
a
fascination
,
he
made
an
early
morning
call
a
day
or
two
after
he
had
returned
from
Fargo
,
whither
he
had
gone
at
Mr.
Rambaud
's
suggestion
,
on
his
way
back
to
Philadelphia
,
determined
to
volunteer
a
smooth
presentation
of
his
earlier
misfortunes
,
and
trust
to
Addison
's
interest
to
make
him
view
the
matter
in
a
kindly
light
.
He
told
him
the
whole
story
of
how
he
had
been
convicted
of
technical
embezzlement
in
Philadelphia
and
had
served
out
his
term
in
the
Eastern
Penitentiary
.
He
also
mentioned
his
divorce
and
his
intention
of
marrying
again
.
Addison
,
who
was
the
weaker
man
of
the
two
and
yet
forceful
in
his
own
way
,
admired
this
courageous
stand
on
Cowperwood
's
part
.
It
was
a
braver
thing
than
he
himself
could
or
would
have
achieved
.
It
appealed
to
his
sense
of
the
dramatic
.
Here
was
a
man
who
apparently
had
been
dragged
down
to
the
very
bottom
of
things
,
his
face
forced
in
the
mire
,
and
now
he
was
coming
up
again
strong
,
hopeful
,
urgent
.
The
banker
knew
many
highly
respected
men
in
Chicago
whose
early
careers
,
as
he
was
well
aware
,
would
not
bear
too
close
an
inspection
,
but
nothing
was
thought
of
that
.
Some
of
them
were
in
society
,
some
not
,
but
all
of
them
were
powerful
.
Why
should
not
Cowperwood
be
allowed
to
begin
all
over
?
He
looked
at
him
steadily
,
at
his
eyes
,
at
his
stocky
body
,
at
his
smooth
,
handsome
,
mustached
face
.
Then
he
held
out
his
hand
.
"
Mr.
Cowperwood
,
"
he
said
,
finally
,
trying
to
shape
his
words
appropriately
,
"
I
need
n't
say
that
I
am
pleased
with
this
interesting
confession
.
It
appeals
to
me
.
I
'm
glad
you
have
made
it
to
me
.
You
need
n't
say
any
more
at
any
time
.
I
decided
the
day
I
saw
you
walking
into
that
vestibule
that
you
were
an
exceptional
man
;
now
I
know
it
.
You
need
n't
apologize
to
me
.
I
have
n't
lived
in
this
world
fifty
years
and
more
without
having
my
eye-teeth
cut
.
You
're
welcome
to
the
courtesies
of
this
bank
and
of
my
house
as
long
as
you
care
to
avail
yourself
of
them
.
We
'll
cut
our
cloth
as
circumstances
dictate
in
the
future
.
I
'd
like
to
see
you
come
to
Chicago
,
solely
because
I
like
you
personally
.
If
you
decide
to
settle
here
I
'm
sure
I
can
be
of
service
to
you
and
you
to
me
.
Do
n't
think
anything
more
about
it
;
I
sha
'n'
t
ever
say
anything
one
way
or
another
.
You
have
your
own
battle
to
fight
,
and
I
wish
you
luck
.
You
'll
get
all
the
aid
from
me
I
can
honestly
give
you
.
Just
forget
that
you
told
me
,
and
when
you
get
your
matrimonial
affairs
straightened
out
bring
your
wife
out
to
see
us
.
"
With
these
things
completed
Cowperwood
took
the
train
back
to
Philadelphia
.
"
Aileen
,
"
he
said
,
when
these
two
met
again
--
she
had
come
to
the
train
to
meet
him
--
"
I
think
the
West
is
the
answer
for
us
.
I
went
up
to
Fargo
and
looked
around
up
there
,
but
I
do
n't
believe
we
want
to
go
that
far
.
There
's
nothing
but
prairie-grass
and
Indians
out
in
that
country
.
How
'd
you
like
to
live
in
a
board
shanty
,
Aileen
,
"
he
asked
,
banteringly
,
"
with
nothing
but
fried
rattlesnakes
and
prairie-dogs
for
breakfast
?
Do
you
think
you
could
stand
that
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
she
replied
,
gaily
,
hugging
his
arm
,
for
they
had
entered
a
closed
carriage
;
"
I
could
stand
it
if
you
could
.
I
'd
go
anywhere
with
you
,
Frank
.
I
'd
get
me
a
nice
Indian
dress
with
leather
and
beads
all
over
it
and
a
feather
hat
like
they
wear
,
and
--
"
"
There
you
go
!
Certainly
!
Pretty
clothes
first
of
all
in
a
miner
's
shack
.
That
's
the
way
.
"
