Well
,
you
know
,
we
expected
you
last
Sunday
to
dinner
,
only
Walter
had
to
go
home
.
But
you
must
come
soon
.
Any
time
at
all
.
I
would
love
to
have
you
.
"
She
beamed
and
her
small
grayish
brown
eyes
twinkled
.
Clyde
could
see
that
because
of
the
fame
of
his
uncle
he
was
looked
upon
as
a
social
find
,
really
.
And
so
it
was
with
the
remainder
of
this
company
,
old
and
young
--
the
Rev.
Peter
Isreals
and
his
wife
;
Mr.
Micah
Bumpus
,
a
local
vendor
of
printing
inks
,
and
his
wife
and
son
;
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Maximilian
Pick
,
Mr.
Pick
being
a
wholesale
and
retail
dealer
in
hay
,
grain
and
feed
;
Mr.
Witness
,
a
florist
,
and
Mrs.
Throop
,
a
local
real
estate
dealer
.
All
knew
Samuel
Griffiths
and
his
family
by
reputation
and
it
seemed
not
a
little
interesting
and
strange
to
all
of
them
that
Clyde
,
a
real
nephew
of
so
rich
a
man
,
should
be
here
in
their
midst
.
The
only
trouble
with
this
was
that
Clyde
's
manner
was
very
soft
and
not
as
impressive
as
it
should
be
--
not
so
aggressive
and
contemptuous
.
And
most
of
them
were
of
that
type
of
mind
that
respects
insolence
even
where
it
pretends
to
condemn
it
.
In
so
far
as
the
young
girls
were
concerned
,
it
was
even
more
noticeable
.
For
Dillard
was
making
this
important
relationship
of
Clyde
's
perfectly
plain
to
every
one
.
"
This
is
Clyde
Griffiths
,
the
nephew
of
Samuel
Griffiths
,
Mr.
Gilbert
Griffiths
'
cousin
,
you
know
.
He
's
just
come
on
here
to
study
the
collar
business
in
his
uncle
's
factory
.
"
And
Clyde
,
who
realized
how
shallow
was
this
pretense
,
was
still
not
a
little
pleased
and
impressed
by
the
effect
of
it
all
.
This
Dillard
's
effrontery
.
The
brassy
way
in
which
,
because
of
Clyde
,
he
presumed
to
patronize
these
people
.
On
this
occasion
,
he
kept
guiding
Clyde
here
and
there
,
refusing
for
the
most
part
to
leave
him
alone
for
an
instant
.
In
fact
he
was
determined
that
all
whom
he
knew
and
liked
among
the
girls
and
young
men
should
know
who
and
what
Clyde
was
and
that
he
was
presenting
him
.
Also
that
those
whom
he
did
not
like
should
see
as
little
of
him
as
possible
--
not
be
introduced
at
all
.
"
She
do
n't
amount
to
anything
.
Her
father
only
keeps
a
small
garage
here
.
I
would
n't
bother
with
her
if
I
were
you
.
"
Or
,
"
He
is
n't
much
around
here
.
Just
a
clerk
in
our
store
.
"
At
the
same
time
,
in
regard
to
some
others
,
he
was
all
smiles
and
compliments
,
or
at
worst
apologetic
for
their
social
lacks
.
And
then
he
was
introduced
to
Zella
Shuman
and
Rita
Dickerman
,
who
,
for
reasons
of
their
own
,
not
the
least
among
which
was
a
desire
to
appear
a
little
wise
and
more
sophisticated
than
the
others
here
,
came
a
little
late
.
And
it
was
true
,
as
Clyde
was
to
find
out
afterwards
,
that
they
were
different
,
too
--
less
simple
and
restricted
than
quite
all
of
the
girls
whom
Dillard
had
thus
far
introduced
him
to
.
They
were
not
as
sound
religiously
and
morally
as
were
these
others
.
And
as
even
Clyde
noted
on
meeting
them
,
they
were
as
keen
for
as
close
an
approach
to
pagan
pleasure
without
admitting
it
to
themselves
,
as
it
was
possible
to
be
and
not
be
marked
for
what
they
were
.
And
in
consequence
,
there
was
something
in
their
manner
,
the
very
spirit
of
the
introduction
,
which
struck
him
as
different
from
the
tone
of
the
rest
of
this
church
group
--
not
exactly
morally
or
religiously
unhealthy
but
rather
much
freer
,
less
repressed
,
less
reserved
than
were
these
others
.
"
Oh
,
so
you
're
Mr.
Clyde
Griffiths
,
"
observed
Zella
Shuman
.
"
My
,
you
look
a
lot
like
your
cousin
,
do
n't
you
?
I
see
him
driving
down
Central
Avenue
ever
so
often
.
Walter
has
been
telling
us
all
about
you
.
Do
you
like
Lycurgus
?
"
The
way
she
said
"
Walter
,
"
together
with
something
intimate
and
possessive
in
the
tone
of
her
voice
,
caused
Clyde
to
feel
at
once
that
she
must
feel
rather
closer
to
and
freer
with
Dillard
than
he
himself
had
indicated
.
A
small
scarlet
bow
of
velvet
ribbon
at
her
throat
,
two
small
garnet
earrings
in
her
ears
,
a
very
trim
and
tight-fitting
black
dress
,
with
a
heavily
flounced
skirt
,
seemed
to
indicate
that
she
was
not
opposed
to
showing
her
figure
,
and
prized
it
,
a
mood
which
except
for
a
demure
and
rather
retiring
poise
which
she
affected
,
would
most
certainly
have
excited
comment
in
such
a
place
as
this
.
Rita
Dickerman
,
on
the
other
hand
,
was
lush
and
blonde
,
with
pink
cheeks
,
light
chestnut
hair
,
and
bluish
gray
eyes
.
Lacking
the
aggressive
smartness
which
characterized
Zella
Shuman
,
she
still
radiated
a
certain
something
which
to
Clyde
seemed
to
harmonize
with
the
liberal
if
secret
mood
of
her
friend
.
Her
manner
,
as
Clyde
could
see
,
while
much
less
suggestive
of
masked
bravado
was
yielding
and
to
him
designedly
so
,
as
well
as
naturally
provocative
.
It
had
been
arranged
that
she
was
to
intrigue
him
.
Very
much
fascinated
by
Zella
Shuman
and
in
tow
of
her
,
they
were
inseparable
.
And
when
Clyde
was
introduced
to
her
,
she
beamed
upon
him
in
a
melting
and
sensuous
way
which
troubled
him
not
a
little
.
For
here
in
Lycurgus
,
as
he
was
telling
himself
at
the
time
,
he
must
be
very
careful
with
whom
he
became
familiar
.
