Peter left the room, and passed out of the front door, just as a man was

politics, and so does Mr. Bohlmann. If you'll tell me what you are
after, I'll try to say a good word for you?"
"I don't need your help, thank you," said Peter calmly.
"Good," said Dummer. "You think a briefless lawyer of thirty can go it
alone, do you, even against the whole city government?"
"I know I have not influence enough to get that case pushed, Mr. Dummer,
but the law is on my side, and I'm not going to give up yet."
"Well, what are you going to do about it?" said Dummer, sneeringly.
