At George Arnold s.
to come and see him. All of this we talked of,
on Boweryem s departure; when O Brien had got
a $5 order on Vanity Fair accommodated by
Haney he left, too. He had made an appoint-
ment with Cahill, twice, to meet him at Harper s,
as I very well knew; promising to pay him 4
$4.50, which he owed the fellow, and as I
knew also, would no more do it that than he would
speak the truth, live honestly, decently, or be any-
thing but the selfish, swindling, insolent Irish
scoundrel he is. Cleaned my mouth by
a talk with Haney, then up-town by 6th Avenue
car, in the snow flurry. Writing all the evening.
2. Tuesday. Round to George Arnold s by
12 , having a question to ask, pertinent of price
for a story for Strong, of which I have done
a chapter and the plot. Clapp s brother came
in momentarily; he is considerably less hideous
than H. C. junior couldn t help being so, for
or Nature would have behaved demoniacally. Af-
ter dinner down-town, to Tribune office, saw
Dana, got $2 for paragraph, went to Strong s,
(where O Brien came in) left M. S., made an
unsuccessful call at Haney s, then up-town.
Morris called. After 7, boy came up with
note from Cahill waiting outside again. Stock
