At
the
same
time
seeing
,
as
she
thought
,
Gilbert
Griffiths
approaching
along
the
sidewalk
,
she
called
,
"
Oh
,
hello
.
Walking
to-night
?
If
you
want
to
wait
a
minute
,
you
can
ride
out
with
me
.
I
've
just
sent
David
in
with
a
note
.
He
wo
n't
be
long
.
"
Now
Sondra
Finchley
,
despite
the
fact
that
she
was
interested
in
Bella
and
the
Griffiths
'
wealth
and
prestige
in
general
was
by
no
means
as
well
pleased
with
Gilbert
.
He
had
been
indifferent
to
her
in
the
beginning
when
she
had
tried
to
cultivate
him
and
he
had
remained
so
.
He
had
wounded
her
pride
.
And
to
her
,
who
was
overflowing
with
vanity
and
self-conceit
,
this
was
the
last
offense
,
and
she
could
not
forgive
him
.
She
could
not
and
would
not
brook
the
slightest
trace
of
ego
in
another
,
and
most
especially
the
vain
,
cold
,
self-centered
person
of
Bella
's
brother
.
He
had
too
fine
an
opinion
of
himself
,
as
she
saw
it
,
was
one
who
was
too
bursting
with
vanity
to
be
of
service
to
anyone
.
"
Hmp
!
That
stick
.
"
It
was
so
that
she
invariably
thought
of
him
.
"
Who
does
he
think
he
is
anyhow
?
He
certainly
does
think
he
's
a
lot
around
here
.
You
'd
think
he
was
a
Rockefeller
or
a
Morgan
.
And
for
my
part
I
ca
n't
see
where
he
's
a
bit
interesting
--
any
more
.
I
like
Bella
.
I
think
she
's
lovely
.
But
that
smarty
.
I
guess
he
would
like
to
have
a
girl
wait
on
him
.
Well
,
not
for
me
.
"
Such
in
the
main
were
the
comments
made
by
Sondra
upon
such
reported
acts
and
words
of
Gilbert
as
were
brought
to
her
by
others
.
And
for
his
part
,
Gilbert
,
hearing
of
the
gyrations
,
airs
,
and
aspirations
of
Sondra
from
Bella
from
time
to
time
,
was
accustomed
to
remark
:
"
What
,
that
little
snip
!
Who
does
she
think
she
is
anyhow
?
If
ever
there
was
a
conceited
little
nut
!
...
"
However
,
so
tightly
were
the
social
lines
of
Lycurgus
drawn
,
so
few
the
truly
eligibles
,
that
it
was
almost
necessary
and
compulsory
upon
those
"
in
"
to
make
the
best
of
such
others
as
were
"
in
.
"
And
so
it
was
that
she
now
greeted
Gilbert
as
she
thought
.
And
as
she
moved
over
slightly
from
the
door
to
make
room
for
him
,
Clyde
almost
petrified
by
this
unexpected
recognition
,
and
quite
shaken
out
of
his
pose
and
self-contemplation
,
not
being
sure
whether
he
had
heard
aright
,
now
approached
,
his
manner
the
epitome
almost
of
a
self-ingratiating
and
somewhat
affectionate
and
wistful
dog
of
high
breeding
and
fine
temperament
.
"
Oh
,
good
evening
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
removing
his
cap
and
bowing
.
"
How
are
you
?
"
while
his
mind
was
registering
that
this
truly
was
the
beautiful
,
the
exquisite
Sondra
whom
months
before
he
had
met
at
his
uncle
's
,
and
concerning
whose
social
activities
during
the
preceding
summer
he
had
been
reading
in
the
papers
.
And
now
here
she
was
as
lovely
as
ever
,
seated
in
this
beautiful
car
and
addressing
him
,
apparently
.
However
,
Sondra
on
the
instant
realizing
that
she
had
made
a
mistake
and
that
it
was
not
Gilbert
,
was
quite
embarrassed
and
uncertain
for
the
moment
just
how
to
extricate
herself
from
a
situation
which
was
a
bit
ticklish
,
to
say
the
least
.
"
Oh
,
pardon
me
,
you
're
Mr.
Clyde
Griffiths
,
I
see
now
.
It
's
my
mistake
.
I
thought
you
were
Gilbert
.
I
could
n't
quite
make
you
out
in
the
light
.
"
She
had
for
the
moment
an
embarrassed
and
fidgety
and
halting
manner
,
which
Clyde
noticed
and
which
he
saw
implied
that
she
had
made
a
mistake
that
was
not
entirely
flattering
to
him
nor
satisfactory
to
her
.
And
this
in
turn
caused
him
to
become
confused
and
anxious
to
retire
.
"
Oh
,
pardon
me
.
But
that
's
all
right
.
I
did
n't
mean
to
intrude
.
I
thought
...
"
He
flushed
and
stepped
back
really
troubled
.
But
now
Sondra
,
seeing
at
once
that
Clyde
was
if
anything
much
more
attractive
than
his
cousin
and
far
more
diffident
,
and
obviously
greatly
impressed
by
her
charms
as
well
as
her
social
state
,
unbent
sufficiently
to
say
with
a
charming
smile
:
"
But
that
's
all
right
.
Wo
n't
you
get
in
,
please
,
and
let
me
take
you
where
you
are
going
.
Oh
,
I
wish
you
would
.
I
will
be
so
glad
to
take
you
.
"
For
there
was
that
in
Clyde
's
manner
the
instant
he
learned
that
it
was
due
to
a
mistake
that
he
had
been
recognized
which
caused
even
her
to
understand
that
he
was
hurt
,
abashed
and
disappointed
.
His
eyes
took
on
a
hurt
look
and
there
was
a
wavering
,
apologetic
,
sorrowful
smile
playing
about
his
lips
.
