However
,
the
mood
of
Sondra
and
her
group
being
friendly
toward
him
,
and
the
observations
and
comments
of
their
friends
and
parents
not
as
yet
too
definite
,
Clyde
continued
to
receive
invitations
to
the
one
type
of
gathering
that
most
interested
him
--
that
which
began
and
ended
with
dancing
.
And
although
his
purse
was
short
,
he
got
on
well
enough
.
For
once
Sondra
had
interested
herself
in
him
,
it
was
not
long
before
she
began
to
realize
what
his
financial
state
was
and
was
concerned
to
make
his
friendship
for
her
at
least
as
inexpensive
as
possible
.
And
because
of
this
attitude
on
her
part
,
which
in
turn
was
conveyed
to
Bertine
,
Grant
Cranston
and
others
,
it
became
possible
on
most
occasions
for
Clyde
,
especially
when
the
affair
was
local
,
to
go
here
and
there
without
the
expenditure
of
any
money
.
Even
when
the
affair
was
at
any
point
beyond
Lycurgus
and
he
consented
to
go
,
the
car
of
another
was
delegated
to
pick
him
up
.
Frequently
after
the
New
Year
's
Eve
trip
to
Schenectady
,
which
proved
to
be
an
outing
of
real
import
to
both
Clyde
and
Sondra
--
seeing
that
on
that
occasion
she
drew
nearer
to
him
affectionately
than
ever
before
--
it
was
Sondra
herself
who
chose
to
pick
him
up
in
her
car
.
He
had
actually
succeeded
in
impressing
her
,
and
in
a
way
that
most
flattered
her
vanity
at
the
same
time
that
it
appealed
to
the
finest
trait
in
her
--
a
warm
desire
to
have
some
one
,
some
youth
like
Clyde
,
who
was
at
once
attractive
and
of
good
social
station
,
dependent
upon
her
.
She
knew
that
her
parents
would
not
countenance
an
affair
between
her
and
Clyde
because
of
his
poverty
.
She
had
originally
not
contemplated
any
,
though
now
she
found
herself
wishing
that
something
of
the
kind
might
be
.
However
,
no
opportunity
for
further
intimacies
occurred
until
one
night
about
two
weeks
after
the
New
Year
's
party
.
They
were
returning
from
a
similar
affair
at
Amsterdam
,
and
after
Bella
Griffiths
and
Grant
and
Bertine
Cranston
had
been
driven
to
their
respective
homes
,
Stuart
Finchley
had
called
back
:
"
Now
we
'll
take
you
home
,
Griffiths
.
"
At
once
Sondra
,
swayed
by
the
delight
of
contact
with
Clyde
and
not
willing
to
end
it
so
soon
,
said
:
"
If
you
want
to
come
over
to
our
place
,
I
'll
make
some
hot
chocolate
before
you
go
home
.
Would
you
like
that
?
"
"
Oh
,
sure
I
would
,
"
Clyde
had
answered
gayly
.
"
Here
goes
then
,
"
called
Stuart
,
turning
the
car
toward
the
Finchley
home
.
"
But
as
for
me
,
I
'm
going
to
turn
in
.
It
's
way
after
three
now
.
"
"
That
's
a
good
brother
.
Your
beauty
sleep
,
you
know
,
"
replied
Sondra
.
And
having
turned
the
car
into
the
garage
,
the
three
made
their
way
through
the
rear
entrance
into
the
kitchen
.
Her
brother
having
left
them
,
Sondra
asked
Clyde
to
be
seated
at
a
servants
'
table
while
she
brought
the
ingredients
.
But
he
,
impressed
by
this
culinary
equipment
,
the
like
of
which
he
had
never
seen
before
,
gazed
about
wondering
at
the
wealth
and
security
which
could
sustain
it
.
"
My
,
this
is
a
big
kitchen
,
is
n't
it
?
"
he
remarked
.
"
What
a
lot
of
things
you
have
here
to
cook
with
,
have
n't
you
?
"
