"
Well
,
he
has
n't
much
of
a
job
,
I
must
say
,
"
smiled
Samuel
Griffiths
,
meditatively
.
"
He
's
only
a
bell-hop
in
the
Union
League
Club
in
Chicago
,
at
present
,
but
a
very
pleasant
and
gentlemanly
sort
of
a
boy
,
I
will
say
.
I
was
quite
taken
with
him
.
In
fact
,
because
he
told
me
there
was
n't
much
opportunity
for
advancement
where
he
was
,
and
that
he
would
like
to
get
into
something
where
there
was
more
chance
to
do
something
and
be
somebody
,
I
told
him
that
if
he
wanted
to
come
on
here
and
try
his
luck
with
us
,
we
might
do
a
little
something
for
him
--
give
him
a
chance
to
show
what
he
could
do
,
at
least
.
"
He
had
not
intended
to
set
forth
at
once
the
fact
that
he
became
interested
in
his
nephew
to
this
extent
,
but
--
rather
to
wait
and
thrash
it
out
at
different
times
with
both
his
wife
and
son
,
but
the
occasion
having
seemed
to
offer
itself
,
he
had
spoken
.
And
now
that
he
had
,
he
felt
rather
glad
of
it
,
for
because
Clyde
so
much
resembled
Gilbert
he
did
want
to
do
a
little
something
for
him
.
But
Gilbert
bristled
and
chilled
,
the
while
Bella
and
Myra
,
if
not
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
who
favored
her
only
son
in
everything
--
even
to
preferring
him
to
be
without
a
blood
relation
or
other
rival
of
any
kind
,
rather
warmed
to
the
idea
.
A
cousin
who
was
a
Griffiths
and
good-looking
and
about
Gilbert
's
age
--
and
who
,
as
their
father
reported
,
was
rather
pleasant
and
well-mannered
--
that
pleased
Bella
and
Myra
while
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
noting
Gilbert
's
face
darken
,
was
not
so
moved
.
He
would
not
like
him
.
But
out
of
respect
for
her
husband
's
authority
and
general
ability
in
all
things
,
she
now
remained
silent
.
But
not
so
,
Bella
.
"
Oh
,
you
're
going
to
give
him
a
place
,
are
you
,
Dad
?
"
she
commented
.
"
That
's
interesting
.
I
hope
he
's
better-looking
than
the
rest
of
our
cousins
.
"
"
Bella
,
"
chided
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
while
Myra
,
recalling
a
gauche
uncle
and
cousin
who
had
come
on
from
Vermont
several
years
before
to
visit
them
a
few
days
,
smiled
wisely
.
At
the
same
time
Gilbert
,
deeply
irritated
,
was
mentally
fighting
against
the
idea
.
He
could
not
see
it
at
all
.
"
Of
course
we
're
not
turning
away
applicants
who
want
to
come
in
and
learn
the
business
right
along
now
,
as
it
is
,
"
he
said
sharply
.
"
Oh
,
I
know
,
"
replied
his
father
,
"
but
not
cousins
and
nephews
exactly
.
Besides
he
looks
very
intelligent
and
ambitious
to
me
.
It
would
n't
do
any
great
harm
if
we
let
at
least
one
of
our
relatives
come
here
and
show
what
he
can
do
.
I
ca
n't
see
why
we
should
n't
employ
him
as
well
as
another
.
"
"
I
do
n't
believe
Gil
likes
the
idea
of
any
other
fellow
in
Lycurgus
having
the
same
name
and
looking
like
him
,
"
suggested
Bella
,
slyly
,
and
with
a
certain
touch
of
malice
due
to
the
fact
that
her
brother
was
always
criticizing
her
.
"
Oh
,
what
rot
!
"
Gilbert
snapped
irritably
.
"
Why
do
n't
you
make
a
sensible
remark
once
in
a
while
?
What
do
I
care
whether
he
has
the
same
name
or
not
--
or
looks
like
me
,
either
?
"
His
expression
at
the
moment
was
particularly
sour
.
