[The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him by Paul Leicester Ford]@TWC D-Link bookThe Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him CHAPTER XXIII 4/17
I heard something about tickets last night.
If you care to go, I'll see if I can get you some ?" "Oh, please," cried both girls. "If you can do so, Mr.Stirling, we should like to see the interesting part," said Miss De Voe. "I'll try." "Send word back by Oliver." The carriage had drawn up at the cottage, and farewells were made. As soon as Peter reached the hotel, he went to the New York City delegation room, and saw Costell.
He easily secured admissions, and pencilling on a card, "At headquarters they tell me that the nominations will begin at the afternoon session, about two o'clock," he sent them back by the carriage.
Then bearding the terrors of the colored "monarch of all he surveys," who guards the dining-room of every well-ordered Saratoga hotel, he satisfied as large an appetite as he remembered in a long time. The morning proceedings in the convention were purely formal.
The election of the chairman, the roll-call, the naming of the committees, and other routine matter was gotten through with, but the real interest centred in the undertone of political talk, going on with little regard to the business in hand.
