"
Well
,
now
,
then
,
"
went
on
Gilbert
as
if
to
supplement
Clyde
's
thoughts
in
this
respect
,
"
what
I
want
to
know
of
you
is
,
if
I
trouble
to
put
you
in
that
department
,
even
temporarily
,
can
I
trust
you
to
keep
a
level
head
on
your
shoulders
and
go
about
your
work
conscientiously
and
not
have
your
head
turned
or
disturbed
by
the
fact
that
you
're
working
among
a
lot
of
women
and
girls
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
,
I
know
you
can
,
"
replied
Clyde
very
much
impressed
by
his
cousin
's
succinct
demand
,
although
,
after
Rita
,
a
little
dubious
.
"
If
I
ca
n't
,
now
is
the
time
to
say
so
,
"
persisted
Gilbert
.
"
By
blood
you
're
a
member
of
this
family
.
And
to
our
help
here
,
and
especially
in
a
position
of
this
kind
,
you
represent
us
.
We
ca
n't
have
anything
come
up
in
connection
with
you
at
any
time
around
here
that
wo
n't
be
just
right
.
So
I
want
you
to
be
on
your
guard
and
watch
your
step
from
now
on
.
Not
the
least
thing
must
occur
in
connection
with
you
that
any
one
can
comment
on
unfavorably
.
You
understand
,
do
you
?
"
"
Yes
,
sir
,
"
replied
Clyde
most
solemnly
.
"
I
understand
that
.
I
'll
conduct
myself
properly
or
I
'll
get
out
.
"
And
he
was
thinking
seriously
at
the
moment
that
he
could
and
would
.
The
large
number
of
girls
and
women
upstairs
seemed
very
remote
and
of
no
consequence
just
then
.
"
Very
good
.
Now
,
I
'll
tell
you
what
else
I
want
you
to
do
.
I
want
you
to
knock
off
for
the
day
and
go
home
and
sleep
on
this
and
think
it
over
well
.
Then
come
back
in
the
morning
and
go
to
work
up
there
,
if
you
still
feel
the
same
.
Your
salary
from
now
on
will
be
twenty-five
dollars
,
and
I
want
you
to
dress
neat
and
clean
so
that
you
will
be
an
example
to
the
other
men
who
have
charge
of
departments
.
"
He
arose
coldly
and
distantly
,
but
Clyde
,
very
much
encouraged
and
enthused
by
the
sudden
jump
in
salary
,
as
well
as
the
admonition
in
regard
to
dressing
well
,
felt
so
grateful
toward
his
cousin
that
he
longed
to
be
friendly
with
him
.
To
be
sure
,
he
was
hard
and
cold
and
vain
,
but
still
he
must
think
something
of
him
,
and
his
uncle
too
,
or
they
would
not
choose
to
do
all
this
for
him
and
so
speedily
And
if
ever
he
were
able
to
make
friends
with
him
,
win
his
way
into
his
good
graces
,
think
how
prosperously
he
would
be
placed
here
,
what
commercial
and
social
honors
might
not
come
to
him
?
So
elated
was
he
at
the
moment
that
he
bustled
out
of
the
great
plant
with
a
jaunty
stride
,
resolved
among
other
things
that
from
now
on
,
come
what
might
,
and
as
a
test
of
himself
in
regard
to
life
and
work
,
he
was
going
to
be
all
that
his
uncle
and
cousin
obviously
expected
of
him
--
cool
,
cold
even
,
and
if
necessary
severe
,
where
these
women
or
girls
of
this
department
were
concerned
.
No
more
relations
with
Dillard
or
Rita
or
anybody
like
that
for
the
present
anyhow
.
The
import
of
twenty-five
dollars
a
week
!
Of
being
the
head
of
a
department
employing
twenty-five
girls
!
Of
wearing
a
good
suit
of
clothes
again
!
Sitting
at
an
official
desk
in
a
corner
commanding
a
charming
river
view
and
feeling
that
at
last
,
after
almost
two
months
in
that
menial
department
below
stairs
,
he
was
a
figure
of
some
consequence
in
this
enormous
institution
!
And
because
of
his
relationship
and
new
dignity
,
Whiggam
,
as
well
as
Liggett
,
hovering
about
with
advice
and
genial
and
helpful
comments
from
time
to
time
.
And
some
of
the
managers
of
the
other
departments
including
several
from
the
front
office
--
an
auditor
and
an
advertising
man
occasionally
pausing
in
passing
to
say
hello
.
And
the
details
of
the
work
sufficiently
mastered
to
permit
him
to
look
about
him
from
time
to
time
,
taking
an
interest
in
the
factory
as
a
whole
,
its
processes
and
supplies
,
such
as
where
the
great
volume
of
linen
and
cotton
came
from
,
how
it
was
cut
in
an
enormous
cutting
room
above
this
one
,
holding
hundreds
of
experienced
cutters
receiving
very
high
wages
;
how
there
was
an
employment
bureau
for
recruiting
help
,
a
company
doctor
,
a
company
hospital
,
a
special
dining
room
in
the
main
building
,
where
the
officials
of
the
company
were
allowed
to
dine
--
but
no
others
--
and
that
he
,
being
an
accredited
department
head
could
now
lunch
with
those
others
in
that
special
restaurant
if
he
chose
and
could
afford
to
.
