And
she
,
realizing
from
this
that
he
had
not
been
accustomed
to
equipment
of
this
order
before
coming
to
Lycurgus
and
hence
was
all
the
more
easily
to
be
impressed
,
replied
:
"
Oh
,
I
do
n't
know
.
Are
n't
all
kitchens
as
big
as
this
?
"
Clyde
,
thinking
of
the
poverty
he
knew
,
and
assuming
from
this
that
she
was
scarcely
aware
of
anything
less
than
this
,
was
all
the
more
overawed
by
the
plethora
of
the
world
to
which
she
belonged
.
What
means
!
Only
to
think
of
being
married
to
such
a
girl
,
when
all
such
as
this
would
become
an
everyday
state
.
One
would
have
a
cook
and
servants
,
a
great
house
and
car
,
no
one
to
work
for
,
and
only
orders
to
give
,
a
thought
which
impressed
him
greatly
.
It
made
her
various
self-conscious
gestures
and
posings
all
the
more
entrancing
.
And
she
,
sensing
the
import
of
all
this
to
Clyde
,
was
inclined
to
exaggerate
her
own
inseparable
connection
with
it
.
To
him
,
more
than
any
one
else
,
as
she
now
saw
,
she
shone
as
a
star
,
a
paragon
of
luxury
and
social
supremacy
.
Having
prepared
the
chocolate
in
a
commonplace
aluminum
pan
,
to
further
impress
him
she
sought
out
a
heavily
chased
silver
service
which
was
in
another
room
.
She
poured
the
chocolate
into
a
highly
ornamented
urn
and
then
carried
it
to
the
table
and
put
it
down
before
him
.
Then
swinging
herself
up
beside
him
,
she
said
:
"
Now
,
is
n't
this
chummy
?
I
just
love
to
get
out
in
the
kitchen
like
this
,
but
I
can
only
do
it
when
the
cook
's
out
.
He
wo
n't
let
any
one
near
the
place
when
he
's
here
.
"
"
Oh
,
is
that
so
?
"
asked
Clyde
,
who
was
quite
unaware
of
the
ways
of
cooks
in
connection
with
private
homes
--
an
inquiry
which
quite
convinced
Sondra
that
there
must
have
been
little
if
any
real
means
in
the
world
from
which
he
sprang
.
Nevertheless
,
because
he
had
come
to
mean
so
much
to
her
,
she
was
by
no
means
inclined
to
turn
back
.
And
so
when
he
finally
exclaimed
:
"
Is
n't
it
wonderful
to
be
together
like
this
,
Sondra
?
Just
think
,
I
hardly
got
a
chance
to
say
a
word
to
you
all
evening
,
alone
,
"
she
replied
,
without
in
any
way
being
irritated
by
the
familiarity
,
"
You
think
so
?
I
'm
glad
you
do
,
"
and
smiled
in
a
slightly
supercilious
though
affectionate
way
.
And
at
the
sight
of
her
now
in
her
white
satin
and
crystal
evening
gown
,
her
slippered
feet
swinging
so
intimately
near
,
a
faint
perfume
radiating
to
his
nostrils
,
he
was
stirred
.
In
fact
,
his
imagination
in
regard
to
her
was
really
inflamed
.
Youth
,
beauty
,
wealth
such
as
this
--
what
would
it
not
mean
?
And
she
,
feeling
the
intensity
of
his
admiration
and
infected
in
part
at
least
by
the
enchantment
and
fervor
that
was
so
definitely
dominating
him
,
was
swayed
to
the
point
where
she
was
seeing
him
as
one
for
whom
she
could
care
--
very
much
.
Were
n't
his
eyes
bright
and
dark
--
very
liquid
and
eager
?
And
his
hair
!
It
looked
so
enticing
,
lying
low
upon
his
white
forehead
.
She
wished
that
she
could
touch
it
now
--
smooth
it
with
her
hands
and
touch
his
cheeks
.
And
his
hands
--
they
were
thin
and
sensitive
and
graceful
.
Like
Roberta
,
and
Hortense
and
Rita
before
her
,
she
noticed
them
.
But
he
was
silent
now
with
a
tightly
restrained
silence
which
he
was
afraid
to
liberate
in
words
.
For
he
was
thinking
:
"
Oh
,
if
only
I
could
say
to
her
how
beautiful
I
really
think
she
is
.
If
I
could
just
put
my
arms
around
her
and
kiss
her
,
and
kiss
her
,
and
kiss
her
,
and
have
her
kiss
me
in
the
same
way
.
"
And
strangely
,
considering
his
first
approaches
toward
Roberta
,
the
thought
was
without
lust
,
just
the
desire
to
constrain
and
fondle
a
perfect
object
.
Indeed
,
his
eyes
fairly
radiated
this
desire
and
intensity
.
And
while
she
noted
this
and
was
in
part
made
dubious
by
it
,
since
it
was
the
thing
in
Clyde
she
most
feared
--
still
she
was
intrigued
by
it
to
the
extent
of
wishing
to
know
its
further
meaning
.
And
so
she
now
said
,
teasingly
:
"
Was
there
anything
very
important
you
wanted
to
say
?
"
