Pretty sight, isn't it?" Costell pointed to
the broad veranda, three stories below them, gay with brilliant dresses.
"Yes. It's my first visit here, so it's new to me."
"It won't be your last. You'll be attending other conventions than
this."
"I hope so."
"One of my scouts tells me you've had a call from Maguire?"
"Yes." Peter hesitated a moment. "He wants me to nominate Porter," he
continued, as soon as he had decided that plain speaking was fair to
Maguire.
"We shall be very sorry to see you do it."
"I don't think I shall. They only want me because it would give the
impression that Porter has a city backing, and to try to give that
amounts to a deception."
"Can they get Schlurger or Kennedy?"
"Schlurger is safe. I don't know about Kennedy."
"Can you find out for us?"
"Yes. When would you like to know?"
"Can you see him now? I'll wait here."
Peter rose, looking at his cigar with a suggestion of regret. But he
rubbed out the light, and left the room.
