His
manner
as
he
said
this
was
as
nonchalant
as
he
could
make
it
,
the
while
he
decided
now
that
this
was
a
mistake
--
that
Short
would
most
certainly
think
him
a
fool
or
queer
.
Yet
Short
,
taken
back
by
the
nature
of
the
query
,
which
he
sensed
as
odd
coming
from
Clyde
to
him
(
he
had
noted
Clyde
's
sudden
restraint
and
slight
nervousness
)
,
was
still
so
pleased
to
think
that
even
in
connection
with
so
ticklish
a
thing
as
this
,
he
should
be
made
the
recipient
of
his
confidence
,
that
he
instantly
recovered
his
former
poise
and
affability
,
and
replied
:
"
Why
,
sure
,
if
it
's
anything
I
can
help
you
with
,
Mr.
Griffiths
,
I
'll
be
only
too
glad
to
.
Go
ahead
,
what
is
it
?
"
"
Well
,
it
's
this
way
,
"
began
Clyde
,
not
a
little
revived
by
the
other
's
hearty
response
,
yet
lowering
his
voice
in
order
to
give
the
dreadful
subject
its
proper
medium
of
obscurity
,
as
it
were
.
"
His
wife
's
already
two
months
gone
and
he
ca
n't
afford
a
kid
yet
and
he
does
n't
know
how
to
get
rid
of
it
.
I
told
him
last
month
when
he
first
came
to
me
to
try
a
certain
medicine
that
usually
works
"
--
this
to
impress
Short
with
his
own
personal
wisdom
and
resourcefulness
in
such
situations
and
hence
by
implication
to
clear
his
own
skirts
,
as
it
were
--
"
But
I
guess
he
did
n't
handle
it
right
.
Anyhow
he
's
all
worked
up
about
it
now
and
wants
to
see
some
doctor
who
could
do
something
for
her
,
you
see
.
Only
I
do
n't
know
anybody
here
myself
.
Have
n't
been
here
long
enough
.
If
it
were
Kansas
City
or
Chicago
now
,
"
he
interpolated
securely
,
"
I
'd
know
what
to
do
.
I
know
three
or
four
doctors
out
there
.
"
(
To
impress
Short
he
attempted
a
wise
smile
.
)
"
But
down
here
it
's
different
.
And
if
I
started
asking
around
in
my
crowd
and
it
ever
got
back
to
my
relatives
,
they
would
n't
understand
.
But
I
thought
if
you
knew
of
any
one
you
would
n't
mind
telling
me
.
I
would
n't
really
bother
myself
,
only
I
'm
sorry
for
this
fellow
.
"
He
paused
,
his
face
,
largely
because
of
the
helpful
and
interested
expression
on
Short
's
,
expressing
more
confidence
than
when
he
had
begun
.
And
although
Short
was
still
surprised
he
was
more
than
pleased
to
be
as
helpful
as
he
could
.
"
You
say
it
's
been
two
months
now
.
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
And
the
stuff
you
suggested
did
n't
work
,
eh
?
"
"
No
.
"
"
She
's
tried
it
again
this
month
,
has
she
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
