Something
in
her
mother
's
voice
which
epitomized
the
long
years
of
affectionate
understanding
between
them
--
an
understanding
based
,
not
only
on
a
mutual
desire
for
each
other
's
happiness
,
but
a
complete
frankness
in
regard
to
all
emotions
and
moods
which
had
hitherto
dominated
both
--
touched
her
almost
to
the
point
of
tears
.
Her
throat
tightened
and
her
eyes
moistened
,
although
she
sought
to
overcome
any
show
of
emotion
whatsoever
.
She
longed
to
tell
her
everything
.
At
the
same
time
the
compelling
passion
she
retained
for
Clyde
,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
she
had
compromised
herself
as
she
had
,
now
showed
her
that
she
had
erected
a
barrier
which
could
not
easily
be
torn
down
.
The
conventions
of
this
local
world
were
much
too
strong
--
even
where
her
mother
was
concerned
.
She
hesitated
a
moment
,
wishing
that
she
could
quickly
and
clearly
present
to
her
mother
the
problem
that
was
weighing
upon
her
and
receive
her
sympathy
,
if
not
help
.
But
instead
she
merely
said
:
"
Oh
,
I
wish
you
could
have
been
with
me
all
the
time
in
Lycurgus
,
Mamma
.
Maybe
--
"
She
paused
,
realizing
that
she
had
been
on
the
verge
of
speaking
without
due
caution
.
Her
thought
was
that
with
her
mother
near
at
hand
she
might
have
been
able
to
have
resisted
Clyde
's
insistent
desires
.
"
Yes
,
I
suppose
you
do
miss
me
,
"
her
mother
went
on
,
"
but
it
's
better
for
you
,
do
n't
you
think
?
You
know
how
it
is
over
here
,
and
you
like
your
work
.
You
do
like
your
work
,
do
n't
you
?
"
"
Oh
,
the
work
is
nice
enough
.
I
like
that
part
of
it
.
It
's
been
so
nice
to
be
able
to
help
here
a
little
,
but
it
's
not
so
nice
living
all
alone
.
"
"
Why
did
you
leave
the
Newtons
,
Bob
?
Was
Grace
so
disagreeable
?
I
should
have
thought
she
would
have
been
company
for
you
.
"
"
Oh
,
she
was
at
first
,
"
replied
Roberta
.
"
Only
she
did
n't
have
any
men
friends
of
her
own
,
and
she
was
awfully
jealous
of
anybody
that
paid
the
least
attention
to
me
.
I
could
n't
go
anywhere
but
she
had
to
go
along
,
or
if
it
was
n't
that
then
she
always
wanted
me
to
be
with
her
,
so
I
could
n't
go
anywhere
by
myself
.
You
know
how
it
is
,
Mamma
.
Two
girls
ca
n't
go
with
one
young
man
.
"
"
Yes
,
I
know
how
it
is
,
Bob
.
"
Her
mother
laughed
a
little
,
then
added
:
"
Who
is
he
?
"
"
It
's
Mr.
Griffiths
,
Mother
,
"
she
added
,
after
a
moment
's
hesitation
,
a
sense
of
the
exceptional
nature
of
her
contact
as
contrasted
with
this
very
plain
world
here
passing
like
a
light
across
her
eyes
.
For
all
her
fears
,
even
the
bare
possibility
of
joining
her
life
with
Clyde
's
was
marvelous
.
"
But
I
do
n't
want
you
to
mention
his
name
to
anybody
yet
,
"
she
added
.
"
He
does
n't
want
me
to
.
His
relatives
are
so
very
rich
,
you
know
.
They
own
the
company
--
that
is
,
his
uncle
does
.
But
there
's
a
rule
there
about
any
one
who
works
for
the
company
--
any
one
in
charge
of
a
department
.
I
mean
not
having
anything
to
do
with
any
of
the
girls
.
And
he
would
n't
with
any
of
the
others
.
But
he
likes
me
--
and
I
like
him
,
and
it
's
different
with
us
.
Besides
I
'm
going
to
resign
pretty
soon
and
get
a
place
somewhere
else
,
I
think
,
and
then
it
wo
n't
make
any
difference
.
I
can
tell
anybody
,
and
so
can
he
.
