Well
,
that
is
bad
,
sure
enough
.
I
guess
she
's
in
bad
all
right
.
The
trouble
with
this
place
is
that
I
have
n't
been
here
so
very
long
either
,
Mr.
Griffiths
.
I
only
bought
this
place
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago
.
Now
,
if
I
were
over
in
Gloversville
--
"
He
paused
for
a
moment
,
as
though
,
like
Clyde
,
he
too
were
dubious
of
the
wisdom
of
entering
upon
details
of
this
kind
,
but
after
a
few
seconds
continued
:
"
You
see
a
thing
like
that
's
not
so
easy
,
wherever
you
are
.
Doctors
are
always
afraid
of
getting
in
trouble
.
I
did
hear
once
of
a
case
over
there
,
though
,
where
a
girl
went
to
a
doctor
--
a
fellow
who
lived
a
couple
miles
out
.
But
she
was
of
pretty
good
family
too
,
and
the
fellow
who
took
her
to
him
was
pretty
well-known
about
there
.
So
I
do
n't
know
whether
this
doctor
would
do
anything
for
a
stranger
,
although
he
might
at
that
.
But
I
know
that
sort
of
thing
is
going
on
all
the
time
,
so
you
might
try
.
If
you
wanta
send
this
fellow
to
him
,
tell
him
not
to
mention
me
or
let
on
who
sent
him
,
'
cause
I
'm
pretty
well-known
around
there
and
I
would
n't
want
to
be
mixed
up
in
it
in
case
anything
went
wrong
,
you
see
.
You
know
how
it
is
.
"
And
Clyde
,
in
turn
,
replied
gratefully
:
"
Oh
,
sure
,
he
'll
understand
all
right
.
I
'll
tell
him
not
to
mention
any
names
.
"
And
getting
the
doctor
's
name
,
he
extracted
a
pencil
and
notebook
from
his
pocket
in
order
to
be
sure
that
the
important
information
should
not
escape
him
.
Short
,
sensing
his
relief
,
was
inclined
to
wonder
whether
there
was
a
working-man
,
or
whether
it
was
not
Clyde
himself
who
was
in
this
scrape
.
Why
should
he
be
speaking
for
a
young
working-man
at
the
factory
?
Just
the
same
,
he
was
glad
to
be
of
service
,
though
at
the
same
time
he
was
thinking
what
a
bit
of
local
news
this
would
be
,
assuming
that
any
time
in
the
future
he
should
choose
to
retail
it
.
Also
that
Clyde
,
unless
he
was
truly
playing
about
with
some
girl
here
who
was
in
trouble
,
was
foolish
to
be
helping
anybody
else
in
this
way
--
particularly
a
working-man
.
You
bet
he
would
n't
Nevertheless
he
repeated
the
name
,
with
the
initials
,
and
the
exact
neighborhood
,
as
near
as
he
could
remember
,
giving
the
car
stop
and
a
description
of
the
house
.
Clyde
,
having
obtained
what
he
desired
,
now
thanked
him
,
and
then
went
out
while
the
haberdasher
looked
after
him
genially
and
a
little
suspiciously
.
These
rich
young
bloods
,
he
thought
.
That
's
a
funny
request
for
a
fellow
like
that
to
make
of
me
.
You
'd
think
with
all
the
people
he
knows
and
runs
with
here
he
'd
know
some
one
who
would
tip
him
off
quicker
than
I
could
.
Still
,
maybe
,
it
's
just
because
of
them
that
he
is
afraid
to
ask
around
here
.
You
do
n't
know
who
he
might
have
got
in
trouble
--
that
young
Finchley
girl
herself
,
even
.
You
never
can
tell
.
I
see
him
around
with
her
occasionally
,
and
she
's
gay
enough
.
But
,
gee
,
would
n't
that
be
the
...
The
information
thus
gained
was
a
relief
,
but
only
partially
so
.
For
both
Clyde
and
Roberta
there
was
no
real
relief
now
until
this
problem
should
be
definitely
solved
.
And
although
within
a
few
moments
after
he
had
obtained
it
,
he
appeared
and
explained
that
at
last
he
had
secured
the
name
of
some
one
who
might
help
her
,
still
there
was
yet
the
serious
business
of
heartening
her
for
the
task
of
seeing
the
doctor
alone
,
also
for
the
story
that
was
to
exculpate
him
and
at
the
same
time
win
for
her
sufficient
sympathy
to
cause
the
doctor
to
make
the
charge
for
his
service
merely
nominal
.
But
now
,
instead
of
protesting
as
at
first
he
feared
that
she
might
,
Roberta
was
moved
to
acquiesce
.
So
many
things
in
Clyde
's
attitude
since
Christmas
had
so
shocked
her
that
she
was
bewildered
and
without
a
plan
other
than
to
extricate
herself
as
best
she
might
without
any
scandal
attaching
to
her
or
him
and
then
going
her
own
way
--
pathetic
and
abrasive
though
it
might
be
.
For
since
he
did
not
appear
to
care
for
her
any
more
and
plainly
desired
to
be
rid
of
her
,
she
was
in
no
mood
to
compel
him
to
do
other
than
he
wished
.
Let
him
go
.
She
could
make
her
own
way
.
She
had
,
and
she
could
too
,
without
him
,
if
only
she
could
get
out
of
this
.
Yet
,
as
she
said
this
to
herself
,
however
,
and
a
sense
of
the
full
significance
of
it
all
came
to
her
,
the
happy
days
that
would
never
be
again
,
she
put
her
hands
to
her
eyes
and
brushed
away
uncontrollable
tears
.
To
think
that
all
that
was
should
come
to
this
.
Yet
when
he
called
the
same
evening
after
visiting
Short
,
his
manner
redolent
of
a
fairly
worth-while
achievement
,
she
merely
said
,
after
listening
to
his
explanation
in
as
receptive
a
manner
as
she
could
:
"
Do
you
know
just
where
this
is
,
Clyde
?
Can
we
get
there
on
the
car
without
much
trouble
,
or
will
we
have
to
walk
a
long
way
?
"
And
after
he
had
explained
that
it
was
but
a
little
way
out
of
Gloversville
,
in
the
suburbs
really
,
an
interurban
stop
being
but
a
quarter
of
a
mile
from
the
house
,
she
had
added
:
"
Is
he
home
at
night
,
or
will
we
have
to
go
in
the
daytime
?
It
would
be
so
much
better
if
we
could
go
at
night
.
There
'd
be
so
much
less
danger
of
any
one
seeing
us
.
"
And
being
assured
that
he
was
,
as
Clyde
had
learned
from
Short
,
she
went
on
:
"
But
do
you
know
is
he
old
or
young
?
I
'd
feel
so
much
easier
and
safer
if
he
were
old
.
I
do
n't
like
young
doctors
.
We
've
always
had
an
old
doctor
up
home
and
I
feel
so
much
easier
talking
to
some
one
like
him
.
"
Clyde
did
not
know
.
He
had
not
thought
to
inquire
,
but
to
reassure
her
he
ventured
that
he
was
middle-aged
--
which
chanced
to
be
the
fact
.
The
following
evening
the
two
of
them
departed
,
but
separately
as
usual
,
for
Fonda
,
where
it
was
necessary
to
change
cars
.
And
once
within
the
approximate
precincts
of
the
physician
's
residence
,
they
stepped
down
and
made
their
way
along
a
road
,
which
in
this
mid
-
state
winter
weather
was
still
covered
with
old
and
dry-packed
snow
.
It
offered
a
comparatively
smooth
floor
for
their
quick
steps
.
