As
they
were
talking
Mrs.
Truesdale
announced
that
dinner
was
ready
,
and
Gilbert
,
having
completed
his
toilet
,
now
entered
.
"
I
say
,
Dad
,
"
he
called
,
"
I
have
an
interesting
thing
I
want
to
see
you
about
in
the
morning
.
Can
I
?
"
"
All
right
,
I
'll
be
there
.
Come
in
about
noon
.
"
"
Come
on
all
,
or
the
dinner
will
be
getting
cold
,
"
admonished
Mrs.
Griffiths
earnestly
,
and
forthwith
Gilbert
turned
and
went
down
,
followed
by
Griffiths
,
who
still
had
Bella
on
his
arm
.
And
after
him
came
Mrs.
Griffiths
and
Myra
,
who
now
emerged
from
her
room
and
joined
them
.
Once
seated
at
the
table
,
the
family
forthwith
began
discussing
topics
of
current
local
interest
.
For
Bella
,
who
was
the
family
's
chief
source
of
gossip
,
gathering
the
most
of
it
from
the
Snedeker
School
,
through
which
all
the
social
news
appeared
to
percolate
most
swiftly
,
suddenly
announced
:
"
What
do
you
think
,
Mamma
?
Rosetta
Nicholson
,
that
niece
of
Mrs.
Disston
Nicholson
,
who
was
over
here
last
summer
from
Albany
--
you
know
,
she
came
over
the
night
of
the
Alumnae
Garden
Party
on
our
lawn
--
you
remember
--
the
young
girl
with
the
yellow
hair
and
squinty
blue
eyes
--
her
father
owns
that
big
wholesale
grocery
over
there
--
well
,
she
's
engaged
to
that
Herbert
Tickham
of
Utica
,
who
was
visiting
Mrs.
Lambert
last
summer
.
You
do
n't
remember
him
,
but
I
do
.
He
was
tall
and
dark
and
sorta
awkward
,
and
awfully
pale
,
but
very
handsome
--
oh
,
a
regular
movie
hero
.
"
"
There
you
go
,
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
"
interjected
Gilbert
shrewdly
and
cynically
to
his
mother
.
"
A
delegation
from
the
Misses
Snedeker
's
Select
School
sneaks
off
to
the
movies
to
brush
up
on
heroes
from
time
to
time
.
"
Griffiths
senior
suddenly
observed
:
"
I
had
a
curious
experience
in
Chicago
this
time
,
something
I
think
the
rest
of
you
will
be
interested
in
.
"
He
was
thinking
of
an
accidental
encounter
two
days
before
in
Chicago
between
himself
and
the
eldest
son
,
as
it
proved
to
be
,
of
his
younger
brother
Asa
.
Also
of
a
conclusion
he
had
come
to
in
regard
to
him
.
"
Oh
,
what
is
it
,
Daddy
?
"
pleaded
Bella
at
once
.
"
Do
tell
me
about
it
.
"
"
Spin
the
big
news
,
Dad
,
"
added
Gilbert
,
who
,
because
of
the
favor
of
his
father
,
felt
very
free
and
close
to
him
always
.
