To Clydes eyes she was the most adorable feminine
thing he hadseen in all his days.
Oh, Idont believe I can stay a moment if he wont
behave better thanthis. But itseems to me youre making a pretty long night of it,
arent you? And he was now determined to keepit and to conduct himself always as his
cousin wished. Just a minute,Dolge, he called to some one outside. Well, how are you
getting along down where you are now? Apart fromhis father, perhaps, there was no
one here to whom he offered anyreverence.
Whereas Clyde, if one were to judge byhis looks, at
least was much more malleable.
And he was thinkingseriously at the moment that he
could and would.
Well, I hope youll like it, now that youre here,
she began,genially. To Clydes eyes she was the most adorable feminine thing he
hadseen in all his days. Andhere they were so remote from men or idle pleasure in

Perhaps he shouldhave retained Rita, after

But you dont need to guess in this case, insisted
Gilbert.
The luxury and charm as opposed to this of whichhe
was a part.
She wants to know if you know anythingthats good
for it. I knew they were somewhere inthe building, but I didnt know just
where.
Jerry threw a shoe and must have picked up
asplinter, but John doesnt seem to be able to find it. And I just picked up Bella
and Sondra here at the Lamberts.
You agreed to it in the first place when Isuggested
it, didnt you? Truesdale call up the Finchleys and see if shesthere. If I cant, now
is the time to say so, persisted Gilbert. By the way, how much is he being paid now?
We all like Lycurgus, only after Chicago I suppose itwill not mean so very much to
you.
Oh, no, not at all, and No, indeed, were just on
our way homeourselves.
I knew they were somewhere inthe building, but I
didnt know just where.
Mother has been saying that you werecoming to call
one of these days.
You tell her I said that she is to come home at
once.
Still there was thistemporary vacancy, and it was
the only one in the whole factory atthe moment.
