Ruth
drew
Martin
away
with
her
on
a
pretext
;
when
she
had
got
him
aside
,
whispering
:
-
"
You
shouldn
’
t
have
monopolized
Professor
Caldwell
that
way
.
There
may
be
others
who
want
to
talk
with
him
.
"
"
My
mistake
,
"
Martin
admitted
contritely
.
"
But
I
’
d
got
him
stirred
up
,
and
he
was
so
interesting
that
I
did
not
think
.
Do
you
know
,
he
is
the
brightest
,
the
most
intellectual
,
man
I
have
ever
talked
with
.
And
I
’
ll
tell
you
something
else
.
I
once
thought
that
everybody
who
went
to
universities
,
or
who
sat
in
the
high
places
in
society
,
was
just
as
brilliant
and
intelligent
as
he
.
"
"
He
’
s
an
exception
,
"
she
answered
.
"
I
should
say
so
.
Whom
do
you
want
me
to
talk
to
now
?
—
Oh
,
say
,
bring
me
up
against
that
cashier
-
fellow
.
"
Martin
talked
for
fifteen
minutes
with
him
,
nor
could
Ruth
have
wished
better
behavior
on
her
lover
’
s
part
.
Not
once
did
his
eyes
flash
nor
his
cheeks
flush
,
while
the
calmness
and
poise
with
which
he
talked
surprised
her
.
But
in
Martin
’
s
estimation
the
whole
tribe
of
bank
cashiers
fell
a
few
hundred
per
cent
,
and
for
the
rest
of
the
evening
he
labored
under
the
impression
that
bank
cashiers
and
talkers
of
platitudes
were
synonymous
phrases
.
The
army
officer
he
found
good
-
natured
and
simple
,
a
healthy
,
wholesome
young
fellow
,
content
to
occupy
the
place
in
life
into
which
birth
and
luck
had
flung
him
.
On
learning
that
he
had
completed
two
years
in
the
university
,
Martin
was
puzzled
to
know
where
he
had
stored
it
away
.
Nevertheless
Martin
liked
him
better
than
the
platitudinous
bank
cashier
.
"
I
really
don
’
t
object
to
platitudes
,
"
he
told
Ruth
later
;
"
but
what
worries
me
into
nervousness
is
the
pompous
,
smugly
complacent
,
superior
certitude
with
which
they
are
uttered
and
the
time
taken
to
do
it
.
Why
,
I
could
give
that
man
the
whole
history
of
the
Reformation
in
the
time
he
took
to
tell
me
that
the
Union
-
Labor
Party
had
fused
with
the
Democrats
.
Do
you
know
,
he
skins
his
words
as
a
professional
poker
-
player
skins
the
cards
that
are
dealt
out
to
him
.
Some
day
I
’
ll
show
you
what
I
mean
.
"
"
I
’
m
sorry
you
don
’
t
like
him
,
"
was
her
reply
.
"
He
’
s
a
favorite
of
Mr
.
Butler
’
s
.
Mr
.
Butler
says
he
is
safe
and
honest
—
calls
him
the
Rock
,
Peter
,
and
says
that
upon
him
any
banking
institution
can
well
be
built
.
"
"
I
don
’
t
doubt
it
—
from
the
little
I
saw
of
him
and
the
less
I
heard
from
him
;
but
I
don
’
t
think
so
much
of
banks
as
I
did
.
You
don
’
t
mind
my
speaking
my
mind
this
way
,
dear
?
