That's
all he did call him--'nothin' else at all--and the cuss had broke both
his legs fer him and God-knows-what-all!"
"I wasn't here then. What was it?"
"Riffraff!"
Chapter XXXV
Eugene's feeling about George had not been altered by his talk with
Kinney in the club window, though he was somewhat disturbed. He was
not disturbed by Kinney's hint that Fanny Minafer might be left on the
hands of her friends through her nephew's present dealings with
nitroglycerin, but he was surprised that Kinney had "led up" with
intentional tact to the suggestion that a position might be made for
George in the Morgan factory. Eugene did not care to have any
suggestions about Georgie Minafer made to him. Kinney had represented
Georgie as a new Georgie--at least in spots--a Georgie who was proving
that decent stuff had been hid in him; in fact, a Georgie who was
doing rather a handsome thing in taking a risky job for the sake of
his aunt, poor old silly Fanny Minafer! Eugene didn't care what risks
Georgie took, or how much decent stuff he had in him: nothing that
Georgie would ever do in this world or the next could change Eugene
Morgan's feeling toward him.
