Bassett, Sara Ware, 1872-1968

"Flood Tide"

Any parts we lack, any drawings we wish made, any materials we
need I have authority to procure from our Long Island plant. There is
to be no stint as to expense. The enterprise is to be carried through
to the finish properly."
Robert Morton gasped.
"I had no idea Mr. Galbraith meant to go into it to such lengths," he
murmured.
"Oh, Mr. Galbraith never does things by halves when once he is
interested," was the reply. "Besides, he has a hunter's scent for the
commercial. He says there is a live idea here that has money in it,
and that's enough for him. Anyway, whether there is or not," Snelling
added hurriedly, "we are to humor the old gentleman's whims and get his
idea so he can handle it."
"It is tremendously generous of Mr. Galbraith."
Howard Snelling regarded his companion quizzically for a moment, then
remarked with gravity:
"Oh, there is a kind heart in Mr. Galbraith, in spite of all his
business instincts."
"Had you ever met the rest of the family before now?" questioned Bob
more with a desire to turn the channel of conversation than because he
had any interest in the matter.
