But
realizing
that
in
view
of
all
these
preliminary
preparations
this
would
seem
inexplicably
unreasonable
,
to
her
mother
most
of
all
,
she
decided
to
endure
it
as
she
had
planned
until
Christmas
afternoon
,
then
to
return
,
never
to
leave
for
so
long
a
period
again
.
But
ad
interim
,
all
her
thoughts
were
on
how
and
in
what
way
she
could
make
more
sure
,
if
at
all
,
of
Clyde
's
continued
interest
and
social
and
emotional
support
,
as
well
as
marriage
in
the
future
.
Supposing
he
had
lied
to
her
,
how
could
she
influence
him
,
if
at
all
,
not
to
do
so
again
?
How
to
make
him
feel
that
lying
between
them
was
not
right
?
How
to
make
herself
securely
first
in
his
heart
against
the
dreams
engendered
by
the
possible
charms
of
another
?
How
?
But
Roberta
's
return
to
Lycurgus
and
her
room
at
the
Gilpins
'
Christmas
night
brought
no
sign
of
Clyde
nor
any
word
of
explanation
.
For
in
connection
with
the
Griffiths
in
the
meantime
there
had
been
a
development
relating
to
all
this
which
,
could
she
or
Clyde
have
known
,
would
have
interested
both
not
a
little
.
For
subsequent
to
the
Steele
dance
that
same
item
read
by
Roberta
fell
under
the
eyes
of
Gilbert
.
He
was
seated
at
the
breakfast
table
the
Sunday
morning
after
the
party
and
was
about
to
sip
from
a
cup
of
coffee
when
he
encountered
it
.
On
the
instant
his
teeth
snapped
about
as
a
man
might
snap
his
watch
lid
,
and
instead
of
drinking
he
put
his
cup
down
and
examined
the
item
with
more
care
.
Other
than
his
mother
there
was
no
one
at
the
table
or
in
the
room
with
him
,
but
knowing
that
she
,
more
than
any
of
the
others
,
shared
his
views
in
regard
to
Clyde
,
he
now
passed
the
paper
over
to
her
.
"
Look
at
who
's
breaking
into
society
now
,
will
you
?
"
he
admonished
sharply
and
sarcastically
,
his
eyes
radiating
the
hard
and
contemptuous
opposition
he
felt
.
"
We
'll
be
having
him
up
here
next
!
"
"
Who
?
"
inquired
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
as
she
took
the
paper
and
examined
the
item
calmly
and
judicially
,
yet
not
without
a
little
of
outwardly
suppressed
surprise
when
she
saw
the
name
.
For
although
the
fact
of
Clyde
's
having
been
picked
up
by
Sondra
in
her
car
sometime
before
and
later
been
invited
to
dinner
at
the
Trumbulls
'
,
had
been
conveyed
to
the
family
sometime
before
,
still
a
society
notice
in
The
Star
was
different
.
"
Now
I
wonder
how
it
was
that
he
came
to
be
invited
to
that
?
"
meditated
Mrs.
Griffiths
who
was
always
conscious
of
her
son
's
mood
in
regard
to
all
this
.
"
Now
,
who
would
do
it
but
that
little
Finchley
snip
,
the
little
smart
aleck
?
"
snapped
Gilbert
.
"
She
's
got
the
idea
from
somewhere
--
from
Bella
for
all
I
know
--
that
we
do
n't
care
to
have
anything
to
do
with
him
,
and
she
thinks
this
is
a
clever
way
to
hit
back
at
me
for
some
of
the
things
I
've
done
to
her
,
or
that
she
thinks
I
've
done
.
At
any
rate
,
she
thinks
I
do
n't
like
her
,
and
that
's
right
,
I
do
n't
.
And
Bella
knows
it
,
too
.
And
that
goes
for
that
little
Cranston
show-off
,
too
.
They
're
both
always
running
around
with
her
.
They
're
a
set
of
show-offs
and
wasters
,
the
whole
bunch
,
and
that
goes
for
their
brothers
,
too
--
Grant
Cranston
and
Stew
Finchley
--
and
if
something
do
n't
go
wrong
with
one
or
another
of
that
bunch
one
of
these
days
,
I
miss
my
guess
.
You
mark
my
word
!
They
do
n't
do
a
thing
,
the
whole
lot
of
them
,
from
one
year
's
end
to
the
other
but
play
around
and
dance
and
run
here
and
there
,
as
though
there
was
n't
anything
else
in
the
world
for
them
to
do
.
And
why
you
and
Dad
let
Bella
run
with
'em
as
much
as
she
does
is
more
than
I
can
see
.
"
To
this
his
mother
protested
.
It
was
not
possible
for
her
to
entirely
estrange
Bella
from
one
portion
of
this
local
social
group
and
direct
her
definitely
toward
the
homes
of
certain
others
.
They
all
mingled
too
freely
.
And
she
was
getting
along
in
years
and
had
a
mind
of
her
own
.
Just
the
same
his
mother
's
apology
and
especially
in
the
face
of
the
publication
of
this
item
by
no
means
lessened
Gilbert
's
opposition
to
Clyde
's
social
ambitions
and
opportunities
.
What
!
That
poor
little
moneyless
cousin
of
his
who
had
committed
first
the
unpardonable
offense
of
looking
like
him
and
,
second
,
of
coming
here
to
Lycurgus
and
fixing
himself
on
this
very
superior
family
.
And
after
he
had
shown
him
all
too
plainly
,
and
from
the
first
,
that
he
personally
did
not
like
him
,
did
not
want
him
,
and
if
left
to
himself
would
never
for
so
much
as
a
moment
endure
him
.
