lay spread out; Foster worked, as
he lived. in a luxurious setting.
His office was a vast, simply

it was good. MacVeagh was sur

prepared to admit to Burton. He
was opposed to men of great re-

Men like these did not enjoy
defeat; they were not used to- 1t:

he was sure OF it. They had gone
too far to back down now. and too
far to alter their plans. That had
been their great mistake; they had
never allowed for the possibility or
being unable to secure control of
the MacVeagh properties. AS John
saw the condition they had to ae-

20 accept them even il they were
far sitter than they actually were.
But he wanted more than that.
He wanted these men to accept
not only his terms but himself.
And that was what hung upon
this trip to New York. He needn't
have come. He mighk have stayed

long run they must yield. But he
was prepared. once the main point

John MacVeagh at this time
