"
Well
,
how
are
you
getting
along
down
where
you
are
now
?
"
asked
Gilbert
coldly
and
inquisitorially
.
And
Clyde
,
who
invariably
experienced
a
depression
whenever
he
came
anywhere
near
his
cousin
,
replied
,
with
a
poorly
forced
smile
,
"
Oh
,
just
about
the
same
,
Mr.
Griffiths
.
I
ca
n't
complain
.
I
like
it
well
enough
.
I
'm
learning
a
little
something
,
I
guess
.
"
"
You
guess
?
"
"
Well
,
I
know
I
've
learned
a
few
things
,
of
course
,
"
added
Clyde
,
flushing
slightly
and
feeling
down
deep
within
himself
a
keen
resentment
at
the
same
time
that
he
achieved
a
half-ingratiating
and
half-apologetic
smile
.
"
Well
,
that
's
a
little
better
.
A
man
could
hardly
be
down
there
as
long
as
you
've
been
and
not
know
whether
he
had
learned
anything
or
not
.
"
Then
deciding
that
he
was
being
too
severe
,
perhaps
,
he
modified
his
tone
slightly
,
and
added
:
"
But
that
's
not
why
I
sent
for
you
.
There
's
another
matter
I
want
to
talk
to
you
about
.
Tell
me
,
did
you
ever
have
charge
of
any
people
or
any
other
person
than
yourself
,
at
any
time
in
your
life
?
"
"
I
do
n't
believe
I
quite
understand
,
"
replied
Clyde
,
who
,
because
he
was
a
little
nervous
and
flustered
,
had
not
quite
registered
the
question
accurately
.
"
I
mean
have
you
ever
had
any
people
work
under
you
--
been
given
a
few
people
to
direct
in
some
department
somewhere
?
Been
a
foreman
or
an
assistant
foreman
in
charge
of
anything
?
"
"
No
,
sir
,
I
never
have
,
"
answered
Clyde
,
but
so
nervous
that
he
almost
stuttered
.
For
Gilbert
's
tone
was
very
severe
and
cold
--
highly
contemptuous
.
At
the
same
time
,
now
that
the
nature
of
the
question
was
plain
,
its
implication
came
to
him
.
In
spite
of
his
cousin
's
severity
,
his
ill
manner
toward
him
,
still
he
could
see
his
employers
were
thinking
of
making
a
foreman
of
him
--
putting
him
in
charge
of
somebody
--
people
.
They
must
be
!
At
once
his
ears
and
fingers
began
to
titillate
--
the
roots
of
his
hair
to
tingle
:
"
But
I
've
seen
how
it
's
done
in
clubs
and
hotels
,
"
he
added
at
once
.
"
And
I
think
I
might
manage
if
I
were
given
a
trial
.
"
His
cheeks
were
now
highly
colored
--
his
eyes
crystal
clear
.
"
Not
the
same
thing
.
Not
the
same
thing
,
"
insisted
Gilbert
sharply
.
"
Seeing
and
doing
are
two
entirely
different
things
.
A
person
without
any
experience
can
think
a
lot
,
but
when
it
comes
to
doing
,
he
's
not
there
.
Anyhow
,
this
is
one
business
that
requires
people
who
do
know
.
