Nately
was
unnerved
by
her
torpid
indifference
to
him
,
by
the
same
sleepy
and
inert
poise
that
he
remembered
so
vivdly
,
so
sweetly
,
and
so
miserably
from
the
first
time
she
had
seen
him
and
ignored
him
at
the
packed
penny
-
ante
blackjack
game
in
the
living
room
of
the
enlisted
men
s
apartment
.
Her
lax
mouth
hung
open
in
a
perfect
O
,
and
God
alone
knew
at
what
her
glazed
and
smoky
eyes
were
staring
in
such
brute
apathy
.
The
old
man
waited
tranquilly
,
watching
him
with
a
discerning
smile
that
was
both
scornful
and
sympathetic
.
A
lissome
,
blond
,
sinuous
girl
with
lovely
legs
and
honey
-
colored
skin
laid
herself
out
contentedly
on
the
arm
of
the
old
man
s
chair
and
began
molesting
his
angular
,
pale
,
dissolute
face
languidly
and
coquettishly
.
Nately
stiffened
with
resentment
and
hostility
at
the
sight
of
such
lechery
in
a
man
so
old
.
He
turned
away
with
a
sinking
heart
and
wondered
why
he
simply
did
not
take
his
own
girl
and
go
to
bed
.
This
sordid
,
vulturous
,
diabolical
old
man
reminded
Nately
of
his
father
because
the
two
were
nothing
at
all
alike
.
Nately
s
father
was
a
courtly
white
-
haired
gentleman
who
dressed
impeccably
;
this
old
man
was
an
uncouth
bum
.
Nately
s
father
was
a
sober
,
philosophical
and
responsible
man
;
this
old
man
was
fickle
and
licentious
.
Nately
s
father
was
discreet
and
cultured
;
this
old
man
was
a
boor
.
Nately
s
father
believed
in
honor
and
knew
the
answer
to
everything
;
this
old
man
believed
in
nothing
and
had
only
questions
.
Nately
s
father
had
a
distinguished
white
mustache
;
this
old
man
had
no
mustache
at
all
.
Nately
s
father
and
everyone
else
s
father
Nately
had
ever
met
was
dignified
,
wise
and
venerable
;
this
old
man
was
utterly
repellent
,
and
Nately
plunged
back
into
debate
with
him
,
determined
to
repudiate
his
vile
logic
and
insinuations
with
an
ambitious
vengeance
that
would
capture
the
attention
of
the
bored
,
phlegmatic
girl
he
had
fallen
so
intensely
in
love
with
and
win
her
admiration
forever
.

"
Well
,
frankly
,
I
don
t
know
how
long
America
is
going
to
last
,
"
he
proceeded
dauntlessly
.
"
I
suppose
we
can
t
last
forever
if
the
world
itself
is
going
to
be
destroyed
someday
.
But
I
do
know
that
we
re
going
to
survive
and
triumph
for
a
long
,
long
time
.
"
"
For
how
long
?
"
mocked
the
profane
old
man
with
a
gleam
of
malicious
elation
.
"
Not
even
as
long
as
the
frog
?
"
"
Much
longer
than
you
or
me
,
"
Nately
blurted
out
lamely
.
"
Oh
,
is
that
all
!
That
won
t
be
very
much
longer
then
,
considering
that
you
re
so
gullible
and
brave
and
that
I
am
already
such
an
old
,
old
man
.

"
How
old
are
you
?
"
Nately
asked
,
growing
intrigued
and
charmed
with
the
old
man
in
spite
of
himself
.
"
A
hundred
and
seven
.
"
The
old
man
chuckled
heartily
at
Nately
s
look
of
chagrin
.
"
I
see
you
don
t
believe
that
either
.
"
"
I
don
t
believe
anything
you
tell
me
,
"
Nately
replied
,
with
a
bashful
mitigating
smile
.
"
The
only
thing
I
do
believe
is
that
America
is
going
to
win
the
war
.
