Besides
,
unless
this
thing
is
n't
going
to
cost
very
much
,
I
do
n't
see
how
I
'm
going
to
get
by
with
it
anyhow
,
Bert
.
I
really
do
n't
.
I
do
n't
make
so
very
much
,
you
know
--
only
twenty-five
dollars
up
to
now
.
"
(
Necessity
was
at
last
compelling
him
to
speak
frankly
with
Roberta
.
)
"
And
I
have
n't
saved
anything
--
not
a
cent
.
And
you
know
why
as
well
as
I
do
.
We
spent
the
most
of
it
together
.
Besides
if
I
go
and
he
thought
I
had
money
,
he
might
want
to
charge
me
more
than
I
could
possibly
dig
up
.
But
if
you
go
and
just
tell
him
how
things
are
--
and
that
you
have
n't
got
anything
--
if
you
'd
only
say
I
'd
run
away
or
something
,
see
--
"
He
paused
because
,
as
he
said
it
,
he
saw
a
flicker
of
shame
,
contempt
,
despair
at
being
connected
with
anything
so
cheap
and
shabby
,
pass
over
Roberta
's
face
.
And
yet
in
spite
of
this
sly
and
yet
muddy
tergiversation
on
his
part
--
so
great
is
the
compelling
and
enlightening
power
of
necessity
--
she
could
still
see
that
there
was
some
point
to
his
argument
.
He
might
be
trying
to
use
her
as
a
foil
,
a
mask
,
behind
which
he
,
and
she
too
for
that
matter
,
was
attempting
to
hide
.
But
just
the
same
,
shameful
as
it
was
,
here
were
the
stark
,
bald
headlands
of
fact
,
and
at
their
base
the
thrashing
,
destroying
waves
of
necessity
.
She
heard
him
say
:
"
You
would
n't
have
to
give
your
right
name
,
you
know
,
or
where
you
came
from
.
I
do
n't
intend
to
pick
out
any
doctor
right
around
here
,
see
.
Then
,
if
you
'd
tell
him
you
did
n't
have
much
money
--
just
your
weekly
salary
--
"
She
sat
down
weakly
to
think
,
the
while
this
persuasive
trickery
proceeded
from
him
--
the
import
of
most
of
his
argument
going
straight
home
.
For
as
false
and
morally
meretricious
as
this
whole
plan
was
,
still
,
as
she
could
see
for
herself
,
her
own
as
well
as
Clyde
's
situation
was
desperate
.
And
as
honest
and
punctilious
as
she
might
ordinarily
be
in
the
matter
of
truth-telling
and
honest
-
dealing
,
plainly
this
was
one
of
those
whirling
tempests
of
fact
and
reality
in
which
the
ordinary
charts
and
compasses
of
moral
measurement
were
for
the
time
being
of
small
use
.
And
so
,
insisting
then
that
they
go
to
some
doctor
far
away
,
Utica
or
Albany
,
maybe
--
but
still
admitting
by
this
that
she
would
go
--
the
conversation
was
dropped
And
he
having
triumphed
in
the
matter
of
excepting
his
own
personality
from
this
,
took
heart
to
the
extent
,
at
least
,
of
thinking
that
at
once
now
,
by
some
hook
or
crook
,
he
must
find
a
doctor
to
whom
he
could
send
her
.
Then
his
terrible
troubles
in
connection
with
all
this
would
be
over
.
And
after
that
she
could
go
her
way
,
as
surely
she
must
;
then
,
seeing
that
he
would
have
done
all
that
he
could
for
her
he
would
go
his
way
to
the
glorious
denouement
that
lay
directly
before
him
in
case
only
this
were
adjusted
.
Nevertheless
hours
and
even
days
,
and
finally
a
week
and
then
ten
days
,
passed
without
any
word
from
him
as
to
the
whereabouts
of
a
doctor
to
whom
she
could
go
.
For
although
having
said
so
much
to
her
he
still
did
not
know
to
whom
to
apply
.
And
each
hour
and
day
as
great
a
menace
to
him
as
to
her
.
And
her
looks
as
well
as
her
inquiries
registering
how
intense
and
vital
and
even
clamorous
at
moments
was
her
own
distress
.
Also
he
was
harried
almost
to
the
point
of
nervous
collapse
by
his
own
inability
to
think
of
any
speedy
and
sure
way
by
which
she
might
be
aided
.
Where
did
a
physician
live
to
whom
he
might
send
her
with
some
assurance
of
relief
for
her
,
and
how
was
he
to
find
out
about
him
?
After
a
time
,
however
,
in
running
over
all
the
names
of
those
he
knew
,
he
finally
struck
upon
a
forlorn
hope
in
the
guise
of
Orrin
Short
,
the
young
man
conducting
the
one
small
"
gents
'
furnishing
store
"
in
Lycurgus
which
catered
more
or
less
exclusively
to
the
rich
youths
of
the
city
--
a
youth
of
about
his
own
years
and
proclivities
,
as
Clyde
had
guessed
,
who
ever
since
he
had
been
here
had
been
useful
to
him
in
the
matter
of
tips
as
to
dress
and
style
in
general
.
Indeed
,
as
Clyde
had
for
some
time
noted
,
Short
was
a
brisk
,
inquiring
and
tactful
person
,
who
,
in
addition
to
being
quite
attractive
personally
to
girls
,
was
also
always
most
courteous
to
his
patrons
,
particularly
to
those
whom
he
considered
above
him
in
the
social
scale
,
and
among
these
was
Clyde
.
For
having
discovered
that
Clyde
was
related
to
the
Griffiths
,
this
same
Short
had
sought
,
as
a
means
for
his
own
general
advancement
in
other
directions
,
to
scrape
as
much
of
a
genial
and
intimate
relationship
with
him
as
possible
,
only
,
as
Clyde
saw
it
,
and
in
view
of
the
general
attitude
of
his
very
high
relatives
,
it
had
not
,
up
to
this
time
at
least
,
been
possible
for
him
to
consider
any
such
intimacy
seriously
.
And
yet
,
finding
Short
so
very
affable
and
helpful
in
general
,
he
was
not
above
reaching
at
least
an
easy
and
genial
surface
relationship
with
him
,
which
Short
appeared
to
accept
in
good
part
.
Indeed
,
as
at
first
,
his
manner
remained
seeking
and
not
a
little
sycophantic
at
times
.
And
so
it
was
that
among
all
those
with
whom
he
could
be
said
to
be
in
either
intimate
or
casual
contact
,
Short
was
about
the
only
one
who
offered
even
a
chance
for
an
inquiry
which
might
prove
productive
of
some
helpful
information
.
In
consequence
,
in
passing
Short
's
place
each
evening
and
morning
,
once
he
thought
of
him
in
this
light
,
he
made
it
a
point
to
nod
and
smile
in
a
most
friendly
manner
,
until
at
least
three
days
had
gone
by
.
And
then
,
feeling
that
he
had
paved
the
way
as
much
as
his
present
predicament
would
permit
,
he
stopped
in
,
not
at
all
sure
that
on
this
first
occasion
he
would
be
able
to
broach
the
dangerous
subject
.
