Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

Pell, and the latter offered to drop him
at his office. So they drove off together, and talked about the
Commission.
"That Kurfeldt is going to be a nuisance," said Pell
"I can't say yet. He evidently has no idea of what our aim is. Perhaps,
though, when we really get to work, he'll prove useful."
Peter had a call the next day from Rivington. It was made up of thanks,
of college chat, and of inquiry as to duties. Peter outlined the
preliminary work, drafted the "Inquiries" and other printed papers
necessary to be sent out before the first meeting, and told him about
the procedure at the meetings.
"I know I shall get into all kinds of pickles," said Ray. "I write such
a bad hand that often I can't read it myself. How the deuce am I to take
down evidence?"
"I shall make notes for my own use, and you will be welcome to them, if
they will help you."
"Thanks, Peter. That's like you."
The Commission began its inquiry, on the date fixed, and met three times
a week from that time on.
