He looks like a very shrewd man to me.

He's going about his work in a brisk spirit, anyhow." Similarly Mr.Norman Schryhart, a man who up to this time had taken no thought of Cowperwood, although he had noted his appearance about the halls of the Calumet and Union League Clubs, began to ask seriously who he was.

Schryhart, a man of great physical and mental vigor, six feet tall, hale and stolid as an ox, a very different type of man from Anson Merrill, met Addison one day at the Calumet Club shortly after the newspaper talk began.

Sinking into a great leather divan beside him, he observed: "Who is this man Cowperwood whose name is in the papers these days, Addison?
You know: all these people.

Didn't you introduce him to me once ?" "I surely did," replied Addison, cheerfully, who, in spite of the attacks on Cowperwood, was rather pleased than otherwise.
