In
spite
of
his
quiet
surroundings
here
,
however
,
the
very
air
of
the
city
seemed
to
suggest
some
such
relaxation
as
this
youth
was
now
suggesting
--
a
form
of
diversion
that
was
probably
innocent
enough
but
still
connected
with
girls
and
their
entertainment
--
there
were
so
many
of
them
here
,
as
he
could
see
.
These
streets
,
after
dinner
,
here
,
were
so
alive
with
good-looking
girls
,
and
young
men
,
too
But
what
might
his
new
found
relatives
think
of
him
in
case
he
was
seen
stepping
about
in
the
manner
and
spirit
which
this
youth
's
suggestions
seemed
to
imply
?
Had
n't
he
just
said
that
this
was
an
awfully
close
town
and
that
everybody
knew
nearly
everything
about
everybody
else
?
He
paused
in
doubt
.
He
must
decide
now
.
And
then
,
being
lonely
and
hungry
for
companionship
,
he
replied
:
"
Yes
--
well
--
I
think
that
's
all
right
.
"
But
he
added
a
little
dubiously
:
"
Of
course
my
relatives
here
--
"
"
Oh
,
sure
,
that
's
all
right
,
"
replied
Dillard
smartly
.
"
You
have
to
be
careful
,
of
course
.
Well
,
so
do
I.
"
If
he
could
only
go
around
with
a
Griffiths
,
even
if
he
was
new
around
here
and
did
n't
know
many
people
--
would
n't
it
reflect
a
lot
of
credit
on
him
?
It
most
certainly
would
--
did
already
,
as
he
saw
it
.
And
forthwith
he
offered
to
buy
Clyde
some
cigarettes
--
a
soda
--
anything
he
liked
.
But
Clyde
,
still
feeling
very
strange
and
uncertain
,
excused
himself
,
after
a
time
,
because
this
youth
with
his
complacent
worship
of
society
and
position
,
annoyed
him
a
little
,
and
made
his
way
back
to
his
room
.
He
had
promised
his
mother
a
letter
and
he
thought
he
had
better
go
back
and
write
it
,
and
incidentally
to
think
a
little
on
the
wisdom
of
this
new
contact
.
Nevertheless
,
the
next
day
being
a
Saturday
and
half
holiday
the
year
round
in
this
concern
,
Mr.
Whiggam
came
through
with
the
pay
envelopes
.
"
Here
you
are
,
Mr.
Griffiths
,
"
he
said
,
as
though
he
were
especially
impressed
with
Clyde
's
position
.
Clyde
,
taking
it
,
was
rather
pleased
with
this
mistering
,
and
going
back
toward
his
locker
,
promptly
tore
it
open
and
pocketed
the
money
.
After
that
,
taking
his
hat
and
coat
,
he
wandered
off
in
the
direction
of
his
room
,
where
he
had
his
lunch
.
But
,
being
very
lonely
,
and
Dillard
not
being
present
because
he
had
to
work
,
he
decided
upon
a
trolley
ride
to
Gloversville
,
which
was
a
city
of
some
twenty
thousand
inhabitants
and
reported
to
be
as
active
,
if
not
as
beautiful
,
as
Lycurgus
.
And
that
trip
amused
and
interested
him
because
it
took
him
into
a
city
very
different
form
Lycurgus
in
its
social
texture
.
But
the
next
day
--
Sunday
--
he
spent
idly
in
Lycurgus
,
wandering
about
by
himself
.
For
,
as
it
turned
out
,
Dillard
was
compelled
to
return
to
Fonda
for
some
reason
and
could
not
fulfill
the
Sunday
understanding
.
Encountering
Clyde
,
however
,
on
Monday
evening
,
he
announced
that
on
the
following
Wednesday
evening
,
in
the
basement
of
the
Diggby
Avenue
Congregational
Church
,
there
was
to
be
held
a
social
with
refreshments
.
And
according
to
young
Dillard
,
at
least
this
promised
to
prove
worth
while
.
"
We
can
just
go
out
there
,
"
was
the
way
he
put
it
to
Clyde
,
and
buzz
the
girls
a
little
.
I
want
you
to
meet
my
uncle
and
aunt
.
They
're
nice
people
all
right
.
