We told Redfeld it wouldn't do,
that he was telling the truth too fast.
So he worked up the Eliza Pinkston
case in the best style of the outrage
mill. But Redfeld is too honest for
his work, and tells his story as if he
only half believed it himself.
A word in your ear Redfeld, the
pubic is determined upon hearing the
truth and nothing else will go down
with them, 50 you had better quit the
Commercial at once and get in with
some respectable concern; the time is
come when you can get better paid for
telling the truth than for lying, and,
to do you justice, we think the work
will suit you better.
