Apart
from
his
own
misery
,
he
seemed
only
to
note
and
be
impressed
by
the
more
significant
misery
of
his
wife
.
During
all
this
,
he
had
stood
foolishly
to
one
side
--
short
,
gray
,
frizzled
,
inadequate
.
"
Well
,
blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
,
"
he
interpolated
from
time
to
time
.
"
We
must
keep
our
hearts
open
.
Yes
,
we
must
n't
judge
.
We
must
only
hope
for
the
best
.
Yes
,
yes
!
Praise
the
Lord
--
we
must
praise
the
Lord
!
Amen
!
Oh
,
yes
!
Tst
!
Tst
!
Tst
!
"
"
If
any
one
asks
where
she
is
,
"
continued
Mrs.
Griffiths
after
a
time
,
quite
ignoring
her
spouse
and
addressing
the
children
,
who
had
drawn
near
her
,
"
we
will
say
that
she
has
gone
on
a
visit
to
some
of
my
relatives
back
in
Tonawanda
.
That
wo
n't
be
the
truth
,
exactly
,
but
then
we
do
n't
know
where
she
is
or
what
the
truth
is
--
and
she
may
come
back
.
So
we
must
not
say
or
do
anything
that
will
injure
her
until
we
know
.
"
"
Yes
,
praise
the
Lord
!
"
called
Asa
,
feebly
.
"
So
if
any
one
should
inquire
at
any
time
,
until
we
know
,
we
will
say
that
.
"
"
Sure
,
"
put
in
Clyde
,
helpfully
,
and
Julia
added
,
"
All
right
.
"
Mrs
Griffiths
paused
and
looked
firmly
and
yet
apologetically
at
her
children
.
Asa
,
for
his
part
,
emitted
another
"
Tst
!
Tst
!
Tst
!
"
and
then
the
children
were
waved
to
bed
.
At
that
,
Clyde
,
who
really
wanted
to
know
what
Esta
's
letter
had
said
,
but
was
convinced
from
long
experience
that
his
mother
would
not
let
him
know
unless
she
chose
,
returned
to
his
room
again
,
for
he
was
tired
.
Why
did
n't
they
search
more
if
there
was
hope
of
finding
her
?
Where
was
she
now
--
at
this
minute
?
On
some
train
somewhere
?
Evidently
she
did
n't
want
to
be
found
.
She
was
probably
dissatisfied
,
just
as
he
was
.
Here
he
was
,
thinking
so
recently
of
going
away
somewhere
himself
,
wondering
how
the
family
would
take
it
,
and
now
she
had
gone
before
him
.
How
would
that
affect
his
point
of
view
and
action
in
the
future
?
Truly
,
in
spite
of
his
father
's
and
mother
's
misery
,
he
could
not
see
that
her
going
was
such
a
calamity
,
not
from
the
GOING
point
of
view
,
at
any
rate
.
It
was
only
another
something
which
hinted
that
things
were
not
right
here
.
Mission
work
was
nothing
.
All
this
religious
emotion
and
talk
was
not
so
much
either
.
It
had
n't
saved
Esta
.
Evidently
,
like
himself
,
she
did
n't
believe
so
much
in
it
,
either
.
The
effect
of
this
particular
conclusion
was
to
cause
Clyde
to
think
harder
than
ever
about
himself
.
And
the
principal
result
of
his
thinking
was
that
he
must
do
something
for
himself
and
soon
.
Up
to
this
time
the
best
he
had
been
able
to
do
was
to
work
at
such
odd
jobs
as
befall
all
boys
between
their
twelfth
and
fifteenth
years
:
assisting
a
man
who
had
a
paper
route
during
the
summer
months
of
one
year
,
working
in
the
basement
of
a
five-and-ten-cent
store
all
one
summer
long
,
and
on
Saturdays
,
for
a
period
during
the
winter
,
opening
boxes
and
unpacking
goods
,
for
which
he
received
the
munificent
sum
of
five
dollars
a
week
,
a
sum
which
at
the
time
seemed
almost
a
fortune
.
He
felt
himself
rich
and
,
in
the
face
of
the
opposition
of
his
parents
,
who
were
opposed
to
the
theater
and
motion
pictures
also
,
as
being
not
only
worldly
,
but
sinful
,
he
could
occasionally
go
to
one
or
another
of
those
--
in
the
gallery
--
a
form
of
diversion
which
he
had
to
conceal
from
his
parents
.
Yet
that
did
not
deter
him
.
He
felt
that
he
had
a
right
to
go
with
his
own
money
;
also
to
take
his
younger
brother
Frank
,
who
was
glad
enough
to
go
with
him
and
say
nothing
.
