"
She
looked
up
at
him
and
added
quite
blandly
.
"
People
like
money
even
more
than
they
do
looks
.
"
What
a
sharp
girl
this
was
,
he
thought
,
and
what
a
hard
,
cold
statement
.
It
cut
him
not
a
little
,
even
though
she
had
not
intended
that
it
should
.
But
just
then
Sondra
herself
entered
with
some
youth
whom
Clyde
did
not
know
--
a
tall
,
gangling
,
but
very
smartly-dressed
individual
.
And
after
them
,
along
with
others
,
Bertine
and
Stuart
Finchley
.
"
Here
she
is
now
,
"
added
Gertrude
a
little
spitefully
,
for
she
resented
the
fact
that
Sondra
was
so
much
better-looking
than
either
she
or
her
sister
,
and
that
she
had
expressed
an
interest
in
Clyde
.
"
She
'll
be
looking
to
see
if
you
notice
how
pretty
she
looks
,
so
do
n't
disappoint
her
.
"
The
impact
of
this
remark
,
a
reflection
of
the
exact
truth
,
was
not
necessary
to
cause
Clyde
to
gaze
attentively
,
and
even
eagerly
.
For
apart
from
her
local
position
and
means
and
taste
in
dress
and
manners
,
Sondra
was
of
the
exact
order
and
spirit
that
most
intrigued
him
--
a
somewhat
refined
(
and
because
of
means
and
position
showered
upon
her
)
less
savage
,
although
scarcely
less
self-centered
,
Hortense
Briggs
.
She
was
,
in
her
small
,
intense
way
,
a
seeking
Aphrodite
,
eager
to
prove
to
any
who
were
sufficiently
attractive
the
destroying
power
of
her
charm
,
while
at
the
same
time
retaining
her
own
personality
and
individuality
free
of
any
entangling
alliance
or
compromise
.
However
,
for
varying
reasons
which
she
could
not
quite
explain
to
herself
,
Clyde
appealed
to
her
.
He
might
not
be
anything
socially
or
financially
,
but
he
was
interesting
to
her
.
Hence
she
was
now
keen
,
first
to
see
if
he
were
present
,
next
to
be
sure
that
he
gained
no
hint
that
she
had
seen
him
first
,
and
lastly
to
act
as
grandly
as
possible
for
his
benefit
--
a
Hortensian
procedure
and
type
of
thought
that
was
exactly
the
thing
best
calculated
to
impress
him
.
He
gazed
and
there
she
was
--
tripping
here
and
there
in
a
filmy
chiffon
dance
frock
,
shaded
from
palest
yellow
to
deepest
orange
,
which
most
enhanced
her
dark
eyes
and
hair
.
And
having
exchanged
a
dozen
or
more
"
Oh
,
Hellos
,
"
and
references
with
one
and
another
to
this
,
that
and
the
other
local
event
,
she
at
last
condescended
to
evince
awareness
of
his
proximity
.
"
Oh
,
here
you
are
.
You
decided
to
come
after
all
.
I
was
n't
sure
whether
you
would
think
it
worth
while
.
You
've
been
introduced
to
everybody
,
of
course
?
"
She
looked
around
as
much
as
to
say
,
that
if
he
had
not
been
she
would
proceed
to
serve
him
in
this
way
.
The
others
,
not
so
very
much
impressed
by
Clyde
,
were
still
not
a
little
interested
by
the
fact
that
she
seemed
so
interested
in
him
.
"
Yes
,
I
met
nearly
everybody
,
I
think
.
"
"
Except
Freddie
Sells
.
He
came
in
with
me
just
now
.
Here
you
are
,
Freddie
,
"
she
called
to
a
tall
and
slender
youth
,
smooth
of
cheek
and
obviously
becurled
as
to
hair
,
who
now
came
over
and
in
his
closely-fitting
dress
coat
looked
down
on
Clyde
about
as
a
spring
rooster
might
look
down
on
a
sparrow
.
