But Sybil says it is not true."
"How does she come to know?" inquired Sam, rolling his cigar in his mouth
and looking at the ceiling.
"I suppose Miss Thorn told her. She ought to know, any way."
"Well, one would think so. By the way, this election is going to turn out
a queer sort of a business, I expect. John says the only thing that is
doubtful is that fellow Patrick Ballymolloy and his men. Now is not that
just about the queerest thing you ever heard of? A set of Irishmen in the
Legislature who are not sure they can manage to vote for a Democratic
senator?"
"Yes, that is something altogether new," said Mrs. Wyndham. "But it seems
so funny that John should come telling you all about his election, when
you are such a Republican, and would go straight against him if you had
anything to say about it."
"Oh, he knows I don't vote or anything," said Sam.
"Of course you don't vote, because you are not in the Legislature. But if
you did, you would go against him, would not you?"
"Well, I am not sure," answered Sam in a drawl of uncertainty.
