"The plan is practically complete, isn't it?" he asked.
"I'd call it so. The skeleton is there and it's covered with flesh. Some of the joints creak a little and maybe there's an ear or an eyebrow missing…. But those are details."
Bonbright nodded. "We'll try it out," he said. "To-night there's a mass meeting—to stir our men up to strike. They mustn't strike, and I'm going to stop them—with the plan."
"Eh?" said the professor.
"I'm going to the meeting," said Bonbright.
"You're—young man, you're crazy."
"I'm going to head off that strike. I'm going there and I'm going to announce the plan."
"They won't let you speak."
"I think they will…. Curiosity will make them."
The young man did understand something of human nature, thought the professor. Curiosity would, most likely, get a hearing for him.
