At
which
Gilbert
winced
internally
for
this
was
a
direct
slap
at
his
assumed
authority
in
the
mill
under
his
father
,
which
authority
he
was
eager
to
make
more
and
more
effective
in
every
direction
,
as
his
younger
sister
well
knew
.
In
the
meanwhile
on
the
following
morning
,
Clyde
,
returning
to
the
mill
,
found
that
the
name
,
or
appearance
,
or
both
perhaps
--
his
resemblance
to
Mr.
Gilbert
Griffiths
--
was
of
some
peculiar
advantage
to
him
which
he
could
not
quite
sufficiently
estimate
at
present
.
For
on
reaching
number
one
entrance
,
the
doorman
on
guard
there
looked
as
though
startled
.
"
Oh
,
you
're
Mr.
Clyde
Griffiths
?
"
he
queried
.
"
You
're
goin
'
to
work
under
Mr.
Kemerer
?
Yes
,
I
know
.
Well
,
that
man
there
will
have
your
key
,
"
and
he
pointed
to
a
stodgy
,
stuffy
old
man
whom
later
Clyde
came
to
know
as
"
Old
Jeff
,
"
the
time-clock
guard
,
who
,
at
a
stand
farther
along
this
same
hall
,
furnished
and
reclaimed
all
keys
between
seven-thirty
and
seven-forty
.
When
Clyde
approached
him
and
said
:
"
My
name
's
Clyde
Griffiths
and
I
'm
to
work
downstairs
with
Mr.
Kemerer
,
"
he
too
started
and
then
said
:
"
Sure
,
that
's
right
.
Yes
,
sir
.
Here
you
are
,
Mr.
Griffiths
.
Mr.
Kemerer
spoke
to
me
about
you
yesterday
.
Number
seventy-one
is
to
be
yours
.
I
'm
giving
you
Mr.
Duveny
's
old
key
.
"
When
Clyde
had
gone
down
the
stairs
into
the
shrinking
department
,
he
turned
to
the
doorman
who
had
drawn
near
and
exclaimed
:
"
Do
n't
it
beat
all
how
much
that
fellow
looks
like
Mr.
Gilbert
Griffiths
?
Why
,
he
's
almost
his
spittin
'
image
.
What
is
he
,
do
you
suppose
,
a
brother
or
a
cousin
,
or
what
?
"
"
Do
n't
ask
me
,
"
replied
the
doorman
.
"
I
never
saw
him
before
.
But
he
's
certainly
related
to
the
family
all
right
.
When
I
seen
him
first
,
I
thought
it
was
Mr.
Gilbert
.
I
was
just
about
to
tip
my
hat
to
him
when
I
saw
it
was
n't
.
"
And
in
the
shrinking
room
when
he
entered
,
as
on
the
day
before
,
he
found
Kemerer
as
respectful
and
evasive
as
ever
.
For
,
like
Whiggam
before
him
,
Kemerer
had
not
as
yet
been
able
to
decide
what
Clyde
's
true
position
with
this
company
was
likely
to
be
.
For
,
as
Whiggam
had
informed
Kemerer
the
day
before
,
Mr.
Gilbert
had
said
no
least
thing
which
tended
to
make
Mr.
Whiggam
believe
that
things
were
to
be
made
especially
easy
for
him
,
nor
yet
hard
,
either
.
On
the
contrary
,
Mr.
Gilbert
had
said
:
"
He
's
to
be
treated
like
all
the
other
employees
as
to
time
and
work
.
No
different
.
"
Yet
in
introducing
Clyde
he
had
said
:
"
This
is
my
cousin
,
and
he
's
going
to
try
to
learn
this
business
,
"
which
would
indicate
that
as
time
went
on
Clyde
was
to
be
transferred
from
department
to
department
until
he
had
surveyed
the
entire
manufacturing
end
of
the
business
.
Whiggam
,
for
this
reason
,
after
Clyde
had
gone
,
whispered
to
Kemerer
as
well
as
to
several
others
,
that
Clyde
might
readily
prove
to
be
some
one
who
was
a
protege
of
the
chief
--
and
therefore
they
determined
to
"
watch
their
step
,
"
at
least
until
they
knew
what
his
standing
here
was
to
be
.
And
Clyde
,
noticing
this
,
was
quite
set
up
by
it
,
for
he
could
not
help
but
feel
that
this
in
itself
,
and
apart
from
whatever
his
cousin
Gilbert
might
either
think
or
wish
to
do
,
might
easily
presage
some
favor
on
the
part
of
his
uncle
that
might
lead
to
some
good
for
him
.
So
when
Kemerer
proceeded
to
explain
to
him
that
he
was
not
to
think
that
the
work
was
so
very
hard
or
that
there
was
so
very
much
to
do
for
the
present
,
Clyde
took
it
with
a
slight
air
of
condescension
.
And
in
consequence
Kemerer
was
all
the
more
respectful
.
"
Just
hang
up
your
hat
and
coat
over
there
in
one
of
those
lockers
,
"
he
proceeded
mildly
and
ingratiatingly
even
.
"
Then
you
can
take
one
of
those
crate
trucks
back
there
and
go
up
to
the
next
floor
and
bring
down
some
webs
.
They
'll
show
you
where
to
get
them
.
