They worked in a big kitchen that was white-tiled to the ceiling, waited on Steelmaker Carnegie and his guests in the walnut-paneled library, took care of the vast heating plant.

Sickly, timid Colonel Rudolph was toughened by being awakened at midnight with a fusillade of revolver shots; then he would be dragged outdoors in early morning and put through a drill. When he seemed to be growing interested in science and politics, he was turned over to a new "tutor" who introduced him to night life and sex. After he had thus contracted...
