Good
night
!
Good
night
!
"
she
called
as
the
car
sprang
away
,
and
Clyde
,
looking
after
it
,
wondered
if
he
would
ever
see
her
again
so
closely
and
intimately
as
here
.
To
think
that
he
should
have
met
her
again
in
this
way
!
And
she
had
proved
so
very
different
from
that
first
time
when
,
as
he
distinctly
recalled
,
she
took
no
interest
in
him
at
all
.
He
turned
hopefully
and
a
little
wistfully
toward
his
own
door
.
And
Sondra
,
...
why
was
it
,
she
pondered
,
as
the
motor
car
sped
on
its
way
,
that
the
Griffiths
were
apparently
not
much
interested
in
him
?
The
effect
of
this
so
casual
contact
was
really
disrupting
in
more
senses
than
one
.
For
now
in
spite
of
his
comfort
in
and
satisfaction
with
Roberta
,
once
more
and
in
this
positive
and
to
him
entrancing
way
,
was
posed
the
whole
question
of
his
social
possibilities
here
.
And
that
strangely
enough
by
the
one
girl
of
this
upper
level
who
had
most
materialized
and
magnified
for
him
the
meaning
of
that
upper
level
itself
.
The
beautiful
Sondra
Finchley
!
Her
lovely
face
,
smart
clothes
,
gay
and
superior
demeanor
!
If
only
at
the
time
he
had
first
encountered
her
he
had
managed
to
interest
her
.
Or
could
now
.
The
fact
that
his
relations
with
Roberta
were
what
they
were
now
was
not
of
sufficient
import
or
weight
to
offset
the
temperamental
or
imaginative
pull
of
such
a
girl
as
Sondra
and
all
that
she
represented
.
Just
to
think
the
Wimblinger
Finchley
Electric
Sweeper
Company
was
one
of
the
largest
manufacturing
concerns
here
.
Its
tall
walls
and
stacks
made
a
part
of
the
striking
sky
line
across
the
Mohawk
.
And
the
Finchley
residence
in
Wykeagy
Avenue
,
near
that
of
the
Griffiths
,
was
one
of
the
most
impressive
among
that
distinguished
row
of
houses
which
had
come
with
the
latest
and
most
discriminating
architectural
taste
here
--
Italian
Renaissance
--
cream
hued
marble
and
Dutchess
County
sandstone
combined
.
And
the
Finchleys
were
among
the
most
discussed
of
families
here
.
Ah
,
to
know
this
perfect
girl
more
intimately
!
To
be
looked
upon
by
her
with
favor
--
made
,
by
reason
of
that
favor
,
a
part
of
that
fine
world
to
which
she
belonged
.
Was
he
not
a
Griffiths
--
as
good
looking
as
Gilbert
Griffiths
any
day
?
And
as
attractive
if
he
only
had
as
much
money
--
or
a
part
of
it
even
.
To
be
able
to
dress
in
the
Gilbert
Griffiths
'
fashion
;
to
ride
around
in
one
of
the
handsome
cars
he
sported
!
Then
,
you
bet
,
a
girl
like
this
would
be
delighted
to
notice
him
--
mayhap
,
who
knows
,
even
fall
in
love
with
him
.
Analschar
and
the
tray
of
glasses
.
But
now
,
as
he
gloomily
thought
,
he
could
only
hope
,
hope
,
hope
.
The
devil
!
He
would
not
go
around
to
Roberta
's
this
evening
.
He
would
trump
up
some
excuse
--
tell
her
in
the
morning
that
he
had
been
called
upon
by
his
uncle
or
cousin
to
do
some
work
.
He
could
not
and
would
not
go
,
feeling
as
he
did
just
now
.
So
much
for
the
effect
of
wealth
,
beauty
,
the
peculiar
social
state
to
which
he
most
aspired
,
on
a
temperament
that
was
as
fluid
and
unstable
as
water
.
On
the
other
hand
,
later
,
thinking
over
her
contact
with
Clyde
,
Sondra
was
definitely
taken
with
what
may
only
be
described
as
his
charm
for
her
,
all
the
more
definite
in
this
case
since
it
represented
a
direct
opposite
to
all
that
his
cousin
offered
by
way
of
offense
.
His
clothes
and
his
manner
,
as
well
as
a
remark
he
had
dropped
,
to
the
effect
that
he
was
connected
with
the
company
in
some
official
capacity
,
seemed
to
indicate
that
he
might
be
better
placed
than
she
had
imagined
.
