“Don't worry about Weeks,” replied McNally, “I can take care of him.”
“Who are you buying for?” asked Blaney.
McNally looked thoughtfully at the three men, then said quietly:—
“I am buying for C. & S.C. Jim Weeks is all right, but he can't hold out against us.”
“Well, I tell you, Mr. McNally, we can't sell.”
“Why not?”
“Outside of the original terms—and they sew us up—we never could get it through the Council.”
McNally folded his hands on the table and looked at Blaney with twinkling eyes.
“That's all rot, Blaney.”
“No, it ain't. The boys are right with Weeks.”
