Ask
Mr.
Whiggam
to
come
here
.
"
She
disappeared
and
presently
there
entered
a
medium-sized
and
nervous
,
yet
moderately
stout
,
man
who
looked
as
though
he
were
under
a
great
strain
.
He
was
about
forty
years
of
age
--
repressed
and
noncommittal
--
and
looked
curiously
and
suspiciously
about
as
though
wondering
what
new
trouble
impended
.
His
head
,
as
Clyde
at
once
noticed
,
appeared
chronically
to
incline
forward
,
while
at
the
same
time
he
lifted
his
eyes
as
though
actually
he
would
prefer
not
to
look
up
.
"
Whiggam
,
"
began
young
Griffiths
authoritatively
,
"
this
is
Clyde
Griffiths
,
a
cousin
of
ours
.
You
remember
I
spoke
to
you
about
him
.
"
"
Yes
,
sir
.
"
"
Well
,
he
's
to
be
put
in
the
shrinking
department
for
the
present
.
You
can
show
him
what
he
's
to
do
.
Afterwards
you
had
better
have
Mrs.
Braley
show
him
where
he
can
get
a
room
.
"
(
All
this
had
been
talked
over
and
fixed
upon
the
week
before
by
Gilbert
and
Whiggam
,
but
now
he
gave
it
the
ring
of
an
original
suggestion
.
)
"
And
you
'd
better
give
his
name
in
to
the
timekeeper
as
beginning
to-morrow
morning
,
see
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
,
"
bowed
Whiggam
deferentially
.
"
Is
that
all
?
"
"
Yes
,
that
's
all
,
"
concluded
Gilbert
smartly
.
"
You
go
with
Whiggam
,
Mr.
Griffiths
.
He
'll
tell
you
what
to
do
.
"
Whiggam
turned
.
"
If
you
'll
just
come
with
me
,
Mr.
Griffiths
,
"
he
observed
deferentially
,
as
Clyde
could
see
--
and
that
for
all
of
his
cousin
's
apparently
condescending
attitude
--
and
marched
out
with
Clyde
at
his
heels
.
And
young
Gilbert
as
briskly
turned
to
his
own
desk
,
but
at
the
same
time
shaking
his
head
.
His
feeling
at
the
moment
was
that
mentally
Clyde
was
not
above
a
good
bell-boy
in
a
city
hotel
probably
.
Else
why
should
he
come
on
here
in
this
way
.
"
I
wonder
what
he
thinks
he
's
going
to
do
here
,
"
he
continued
to
think
,
"
where
he
thinks
he
's
going
to
get
?
"
