Reaching
the
shrinking
department
about
noon
,
he
observed
for
the
first
time
with
some
dismay
,
Clyde
in
his
undershirt
and
trousers
working
at
the
feeding
end
of
two
of
the
shrinking
racks
,
his
nephew
having
by
this
time
acquired
the
necessary
skill
to
"
feed
"
as
well
as
"
take
.
"
And
recalling
how
very
neat
and
generally
presentable
he
had
appeared
at
his
house
but
a
few
weeks
before
,
he
was
decidedly
disturbed
by
the
contrast
.
For
one
thing
he
had
felt
about
Clyde
,
both
in
Chicago
and
here
at
his
home
,
was
that
he
had
presented
a
neat
and
pleasing
appearance
.
And
he
,
almost
as
much
as
his
son
,
was
jealous
,
not
only
of
the
name
,
but
the
general
social
appearance
of
the
Griffiths
before
the
employees
of
this
factory
as
well
as
the
community
at
large
.
And
the
sight
of
Clyde
here
,
looking
so
much
like
Gilbert
and
in
an
armless
shirt
and
trousers
working
among
these
men
,
tended
to
impress
upon
him
more
sharply
than
at
any
time
before
the
fact
that
Clyde
was
his
nephew
,
and
that
he
ought
not
to
be
compelled
to
continue
at
this
very
menial
form
of
work
any
longer
.
To
the
other
employees
it
might
appear
that
he
was
unduly
indifferent
to
the
meaning
of
such
a
relationship
.
Without
,
however
,
saying
a
word
to
Whiggam
or
anyone
else
at
the
time
,
he
waited
until
his
son
returned
on
Monday
morning
,
from
a
trip
that
he
had
taken
out
of
town
,
when
he
called
him
into
his
office
and
observed
:
"
I
made
a
tour
of
the
factory
Saturday
and
found
young
Clyde
still
down
in
the
shrinking
room
.
"
"
What
of
it
,
Dad
?
"
replied
his
son
,
curiously
interested
as
to
why
his
father
should
at
this
time
wish
to
mention
Clyde
in
this
special
way
.
"
Other
people
before
him
have
worked
down
there
and
it
has
n't
hurt
them
.
"
"
All
true
enough
,
but
they
were
n't
nephews
of
mine
.
And
they
did
n't
look
as
much
like
you
as
he
does
"
--
a
comment
which
irritated
Gilbert
greatly
.
"
It
wo
n't
do
,
I
tell
you
.
It
does
n't
look
quite
right
to
me
,
and
I
'm
afraid
it
wo
n't
look
right
to
other
people
here
who
see
how
much
he
looks
like
you
and
know
that
he
is
your
cousin
and
my
nephew
.
I
did
n't
realize
that
at
first
,
because
I
have
n't
been
down
there
,
but
I
do
n't
think
it
wise
to
keep
him
down
there
any
longer
doing
that
kind
of
thing
.
It
wo
n't
do
.
We
'll
have
to
make
a
change
,
switch
him
around
somewhere
else
where
he
wo
n't
look
like
that
.
"
His
eyes
darkened
and
his
brow
wrinkled
.
The
impression
that
Clyde
made
in
his
old
clothes
and
with
beads
of
sweat
standing
out
on
his
forehead
had
not
been
pleasant
.
"
But
I
'll
tell
you
how
it
is
,
Dad
,
"
Gilbert
persisted
,
anxious
and
determined
because
of
his
innate
opposition
to
Clyde
to
keep
him
there
if
possible
.
"
I
'm
not
so
sure
that
I
can
find
just
the
right
place
for
him
now
anywhere
else
--
at
least
not
without
moving
someone
else
who
has
been
here
a
long
time
and
worked
hard
to
get
there
.
He
has
n't
had
any
training
in
anything
so
far
,
but
just
what
he
's
doing
.
"
"
Do
n't
know
or
do
n't
care
anything
about
that
,
"
replied
Griffiths
senior
,
feeling
that
his
son
was
a
little
jealous
and
in
consequence
disposed
to
be
unfair
to
Clyde
.
"
That
's
no
place
for
him
and
I
wo
n't
have
him
there
any
longer
.
He
's
been
there
long
enough
.
And
I
ca
n't
afford
to
have
the
name
of
any
of
this
family
come
to
mean
anything
but
just
what
it
does
around
here
now
--
reserve
and
ability
and
energy
and
good
judgment
.
It
's
not
good
for
the
business
.
And
anything
less
than
that
is
a
liability
.
You
get
me
,
do
n't
you
?
"
"
Yes
,
I
get
you
all
right
,
governor
.
