THEY ALL LOOKED TIRED AND PALE AS IF THEY HAD PASSED A RATHER DISSIPATED EVENING AND THE SENATOR WAS RENDERED SO NERVOUS BY SEEING THEM THAT HE REFUSED TO LOOK IN THEIR DIRECTION A SECOND TIME
e sat up late writing a political speech he was to deliver the next afternoon at Faneuil hall, but his experiences at the BostwicksŌĆÖ had so unnerved him that he could scarcely collect his thoughts, and often he would pause and shake his head pityingly as he remembered the strange things he had seen in that usually respectable home. The next day he met Mr. Bostwick in the street, but passed him by with a stony glare of oblivion. He felt he really could not afford to know this gentleman in the future. Mr. Bostwick was naturally indignant at the direct snub; yet in his mind lingered a faint memory of some quite unusual occurrences at his dinner party the evening before, and he hardly knew whether he dared resent the senatorŌĆÖs treatment or not. The political meeting was the feature of the day, for the senatorŌĆÖs eloquence was well known in Boston. So the big hall was crowded with people, and in one of the front rows sat the Bostwick family, with the learned Yale professor beside them. USE THAT NIGHT HE SAT UP LATE WRITING A POLITICAL SPEECH HE WAS TO DELIVER THE NEXT AFTERNOON AT FUNWELL HALL BUT HIS EXPERIENCES AT THE BOSTRICKS HAD SO UNNERVED HIM THAT HE COULD SCARCELY COLLECT HIS THOUGHTS AND OFTEN HE WOULD PAUSE AND SHAKE HIS HEAD PITYINGLY AS HE REMEMBERED THE STRANGE THINGS HE HAD SEEN IN THAT USUALLY RESPECTABLE HOME THE NEXT DAY HE MET MISTER BOSTWICK IN THE STREET BUT PASSED HIM BY WITH A STONY GLARE OF OBLIVION HE FELT HE REALLY COULD NOT AFFORD TO KNOW THIS GENTLEMAN IN THE FUTURE MISTER BOSTWICK WAS NATURALLY INDIGNANT AT THE DIRECT SNUB YET IN HIS MIND LINGERED A FAINT MEMORY OF SOME QUITE UNUSUAL OCCURRENCES AT HIS DINNER PARTY THE EVENING BEFORE AND HE HARDLY KNEW WHETHER HE DARED RESENT THE SENATOR'S TREATMENT OR NOT THE POLITICAL MEETING WAS THE FEATURE OF THE DAY FOR THE SENATOR'S ELOQUENCE WAS WELL KNOWN IN BOSTON SO THE BIG HALL WAS CROWDED WITH PEOPLE AND IN ONE OF THE FRONT ROWS SAT THE BOSTRIK FAMILY WITH THE LEARNED YALE PROFESSOR BESIDE THEM
