All
right
,
governor
,
"
replied
his
son
,
who
was
hoping
that
his
father
would
absent-mindedly
let
him
stay
where
he
was
--
in
the
lowest
of
all
the
positions
the
factory
had
to
offer
.
But
,
now
,
and
to
his
dissatisfaction
,
Samuel
Griffiths
proceeded
to
add
,
"
We
'll
have
to
have
him
out
to
the
house
for
dinner
pretty
soon
,
wo
n't
we
?
I
have
thought
of
that
but
I
have
n't
been
able
to
attend
to
it
before
.
I
should
have
spoken
to
Mother
about
it
before
this
.
He
has
n't
been
out
yet
,
has
he
?
"
"
No
,
sir
,
not
that
I
know
of
,
"
replied
Gilbert
dourly
.
He
did
not
like
this
at
all
,
but
was
too
tactful
to
show
his
opposition
just
here
.
"
We
've
been
waiting
for
you
to
say
something
about
it
,
I
suppose
.
"
"
Very
well
,
"
went
on
Samuel
,
"
you
'd
better
find
out
where
he
's
stopping
and
have
him
out
.
Next
Sunday
would
n't
be
a
bad
time
,
if
we
have
n't
anything
else
on
.
"
Noting
a
flicker
of
doubt
or
disapproval
in
his
son
's
eyes
,
he
added
:
"
After
all
,
Gil
,
he
's
my
nephew
and
your
cousin
,
and
we
ca
n't
afford
to
ignore
him
entirely
.
That
would
n't
be
right
,
you
know
,
either
.
You
'd
better
speak
to
your
mother
to-night
,
or
I
will
,
and
arrange
it
.
"
He
closed
the
drawer
of
a
desk
in
which
he
had
been
looking
for
certain
papers
,
got
up
and
took
down
his
hat
and
coat
and
left
the
office
.
In
consequence
of
this
discussion
,
an
invitation
was
sent
to
Clyde
for
the
following
Sunday
at
six-thirty
to
appear
and
participate
in
a
Griffiths
family
meal
.
On
Sunday
at
one-thirty
was
served
the
important
family
dinner
to
which
usually
was
invited
one
or
another
of
the
various
local
or
visiting
friends
of
the
family
.
At
six
-
thirty
nearly
all
of
these
guests
had
departed
,
and
sometimes
one
or
two
of
the
Griffiths
themselves
,
the
cold
collation
served
being
partaken
of
by
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Griffiths
and
Myra
--
Bella
and
Gilbert
usually
having
appointments
elsewhere
.
On
this
occasion
,
however
,
as
Mrs.
Griffiths
and
Myra
and
Bella
decided
in
conference
,
they
would
all
be
present
with
the
exception
of
Gilbert
,
who
,
because
of
his
opposition
as
well
as
another
appointment
,
explained
that
he
would
stop
in
for
only
a
moment
before
leaving
.
Thus
Clyde
as
Gilbert
was
pleased
to
note
would
be
received
and
entertained
without
the
likelihood
of
contacts
,
introductions
and
explanations
to
such
of
their
more
important
connections
who
might
chance
to
stop
in
during
the
afternoon
.
They
would
also
have
an
opportunity
to
study
him
for
themselves
and
see
what
they
really
did
think
without
committing
themselves
in
any
way
.
But
in
the
meantime
in
connection
with
Dillard
,
Rita
and
Zella
there
had
been
a
development
which
,
because
of
the
problem
it
had
posed
,
was
to
be
affected
by
this
very
decision
on
the
part
of
the
Griffiths
.
For
following
the
evening
at
the
Shuman
home
,
and
because
,
in
spite
of
Clyde
's
hesitation
at
the
time
,
all
three
including
Rita
herself
,
were
still
convinced
that
he
must
or
would
be
smitten
with
her
charms
,
there
had
been
various
hints
,
as
well
as
finally
a
direct
invitation
or
proposition
on
the
part
of
Dillard
to
the
effect
that
because
of
the
camaraderie
which
had
been
established
between
himself
and
Clyde
and
these
two
girls
,
they
make
a
week-end
trip
somewhere
--
preferably
to
Utica
or
Albany
.
The
girls
would
go
,
of
course
.
He
could
fix
that
through
Zella
with
Rita
for
Clyde
if
he
had
any
doubts
or
fears
as
to
whether
it
could
be
negotiated
or
not
.
"
You
know
she
likes
you
.
Zell
was
telling
me
the
other
day
that
she
said
she
thought
you
were
the
candy
.
Some
ladies
'
man
,
eh
?
"
And
he
nudged
Clyde
genially
and
intimately
--
a
proceeding
in
this
newer
and
grander
world
in
which
he
now
found
himself
--
and
considering
who
he
was
here
,
was
not
as
appealing
to
Clyde
as
it
otherwise
might
have
been
.
These
fellows
who
were
so
pushing
where
they
thought
a
fellow
amounted
to
something
more
than
they
did
!
He
could
tell
.
