At the office, he learned the
number of Kennedy's room, and went to it. On knocking, the door was
opened only a narrow crack.
"Oh! it's you," said Kennedy. "Come in."
Peter entered, and found Maguire seated in an easy attitude on a lounge.
He noticed that his thumbs were once more tucked into his waistcoat.
"Mr. Kennedy," said Peter without seating himself, "there is an attempt
being made to get a city delegate to nominate Porter. It seems to me
that is his particular friends' business."
Maguire spoke so quickly that Kennedy had no chance to reply: "Kennedy's
promised to nominate him, Mr. Stirling, if you won't."
"Do you feel that you are bound to do it?" asked Peter.
Kennedy moved uneasily in his chair. "Yes, I suppose I have promised."
"Will you release Mr. Kennedy from his promise if he asks it?" Peter
queried to Maguire.
"Why, Mr. Stirling, I don't think either he or you ought to ask it."
"That was not my question."
It was the Senator's turn to squirm.
