Yet
she
also
recalled
that
although
she
had
been
about
with
Bella
all
summer
and
had
encountered
Gilbert
,
Myra
and
their
parents
from
time
to
time
,
there
had
never
been
a
word
about
Clyde
.
Indeed
all
the
information
she
had
gathered
concerning
him
was
that
originally
furnished
by
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
who
had
said
that
he
was
a
poor
nephew
whom
her
husband
had
brought
on
from
the
west
in
order
to
help
in
some
way
.
Yet
now
,
as
she
viewed
Clyde
on
this
occasion
,
he
did
not
seem
so
utterly
unimportant
or
poverty-stricken
by
any
means
--
quite
interesting
and
rather
smart
and
very
attractive
,
and
obviously
anxious
to
be
taken
seriously
by
a
girl
like
herself
,
as
she
could
see
.
And
this
coming
from
Gilbert
's
cousin
--
a
Griffiths
--
was
flattering
.
Arriving
at
the
Trumbull
's
,
a
family
which
centered
about
one
Douglas
Trumbull
,
a
prosperous
lawyer
and
widower
and
speculator
of
this
region
,
who
,
by
reason
of
his
children
as
well
as
his
own
good
manners
and
legal
subtlety
,
had
managed
to
ingratiate
himself
into
the
best
circles
of
Lycurgus
society
,
she
suddenly
confided
to
Jill
Trumbull
,
the
elder
of
the
lawyer
's
two
daughters
:
"
You
know
I
had
a
funny
experience
to-day
.
"
And
she
proceeded
to
relate
all
that
had
occurred
in
detail
.
Afterward
at
dinner
,
Jill
having
appeared
to
find
it
most
fascinating
,
she
again
repeated
it
to
Gertrude
and
Tracy
,
the
younger
daughter
and
only
son
of
the
Trumbull
family
.
"
Oh
,
yes
,
"
observed
Tracy
Trumbull
,
a
law
student
in
his
father
's
office
,
"
I
've
seen
that
fellow
,
I
bet
,
three
or
four
times
on
Central
Avenue
.
He
looks
a
lot
like
Gil
,
does
n't
he
?
Only
not
so
swagger
.
I
've
nodded
to
him
two
or
three
times
this
summer
because
I
thought
he
was
Gil
for
the
moment
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
've
seen
him
,
too
,
"
commented
Gertrude
Trumbull
.
"
He
wears
a
cap
and
a
belted
coat
like
Gilbert
Griffiths
,
sometimes
,
does
n't
he
?
Arabella
Stark
pointed
him
out
to
me
once
and
then
Jill
and
I
saw
him
passing
Stark
's
once
on
a
Saturday
afternoon
.
He
is
better
looking
than
Gil
,
any
day
,
I
think
.
"
This
confirmed
Sondra
in
her
own
thoughts
in
regard
to
Clyde
and
now
she
added
:
"
Bertine
Cranston
and
I
met
him
one
evening
last
spring
at
the
Griffiths
'
.
We
thought
he
was
too
bashful
,
then
.
But
I
wish
you
could
see
him
now
--
he
's
positively
handsome
,
with
the
softest
eyes
and
the
nicest
smile
.
"
"
Oh
,
now
,
Sondra
,
"
commented
Jill
Trumbull
,
who
,
apart
from
Bertine
and
Bella
,
was
as
close
to
Sondra
as
any
girl
here
,
having
been
one
of
her
classmates
at
the
Snedeker
School
,
"
I
know
some
one
who
would
be
jealous
if
he
could
hear
you
say
that
.
"
"
And
would
n't
Gil
Griffiths
like
to
hear
that
his
cousin
's
better
looking
than
he
is
?
"
chimed
in
Tracy
Trumbull
.
"
Oh
,
say
--
"
"
Oh
,
he
,
"
sniffed
Sondra
irritably
.
"
He
thinks
he
's
so
much
.
I
'll
bet
anything
it
's
because
of
him
that
the
Griffiths
wo
n't
have
anything
to
do
with
their
cousin
.
I
'm
sure
of
it
,
now
that
I
think
of
it
.
Bella
would
,
of
course
,
because
I
heard
her
say
last
spring
that
she
thought
he
was
good-looking
.
And
Myra
would
n't
do
anything
to
hurt
anybody
.
What
a
lark
if
some
of
us
were
to
take
him
up
some
time
and
begin
inviting
him
here
and
there
--
once
in
a
while
,
you
know
--
just
for
fun
,
to
see
how
he
would
do
.
And
how
the
Griffiths
would
take
it
.
I
know
well
enough
it
would
be
all
right
with
Mr.
Griffiths
and
Myra
and
Bella
,
but
Gil
I
'll
bet
would
be
as
peeved
as
anything
.
I
could
n't
do
it
myself
very
well
,
because
I
'm
so
close
to
Bella
,
but
I
know
who
could
and
they
could
n't
say
a
thing
.
"
She
paused
,
thinking
of
Bertine
Cranston
and
how
she
disliked
Gil
and
Mrs.
Griffiths
.
"
I
wonder
if
he
dances
or
rides
or
plays
tennis
or
anything
like
that
?
"
She
stopped
and
meditated
amusedly
,
the
while
the
others
studied
her
.
And
Jill
Trumbull
,
a
restless
,
eager
girl
like
herself
,
without
so
much
of
her
looks
or
flair
,
however
,
observed
:
"
It
would
be
a
prank
,
would
n't
it
?
Do
you
suppose
the
Griffiths
really
would
dislike
it
very
much
?
"
"
What
's
the
difference
if
they
did
?
"
went
on
Sondra
.
"
They
could
n't
do
anything
more
than
ignore
him
,
could
they
?
And
who
would
care
about
that
,
I
'd
like
to
know
.
Not
the
people
who
invited
him
.
"
