What
about
her
?
"
asked
Clyde
,
keenly
curious
,
for
to
him
she
seemed
exceedingly
beautiful
,
most
fascinating
.
"
Oh
,
nothing
,
except
she
's
been
in
with
about
eight
different
men
around
here
since
I
've
been
here
.
She
fell
for
Doyle
"
--
another
hall-boy
whom
by
this
time
Clyde
had
already
observed
as
being
the
quintessence
of
Chesterfieldian
grace
and
airs
and
looks
,
a
youth
to
imitate
--
"
for
a
while
,
but
now
she
's
got
some
one
else
.
"
"
Really
?
"
inquired
Clyde
,
very
much
astonished
and
wondering
if
such
luck
would
ever
come
to
him
.
"
Surest
thing
you
know
,
"
went
on
Ratterer
.
"
She
's
a
bird
that
way
--
never
gets
enough
.
Her
husband
,
they
tell
me
,
has
a
big
lumber
business
somewhere
over
in
Kansas
,
but
they
do
n't
live
together
no
more
.
She
has
one
of
the
best
suites
on
the
sixth
,
but
she
ai
n't
in
it
half
the
time
.
The
maid
told
me
.
"
This
same
Ratterer
,
who
was
short
and
stocky
but
good-looking
and
smiling
,
was
so
smooth
and
bland
and
generally
agreeable
that
Clyde
was
instantly
drawn
to
him
and
wished
to
know
him
better
.
And
Ratterer
reciprocated
that
feeling
,
for
he
had
the
notion
that
Clyde
was
innocent
and
inexperienced
and
that
he
would
like
to
do
some
little
thing
for
him
if
he
could
.
The
conversation
was
interrupted
by
a
service
call
,
and
never
resumed
about
this
particular
woman
,
but
the
effect
on
Clyde
was
sharp
.
The
woman
was
pleasing
to
look
upon
and
exceedingly
well
-
groomed
,
her
skin
clear
,
her
eyes
bright
.
Could
what
Ratterer
had
been
telling
him
really
be
true
?
She
was
so
pretty
.
He
sat
and
gazed
,
a
vision
of
something
which
he
did
not
care
to
acknowledge
even
to
himself
tingling
the
roots
of
his
hair
.
And
then
the
temperaments
and
the
philosophy
of
these
boys
--
Kinsella
,
short
and
thick
and
smooth-faced
and
a
little
dull
,
as
Clyde
saw
it
,
but
good-looking
and
virile
,
and
reported
to
be
a
wizard
at
gambling
,
who
,
throughout
the
first
three
days
at
such
times
as
other
matters
were
not
taking
his
attention
,
had
been
good
enough
to
continue
Hegglund
's
instructions
in
part
.
He
was
a
more
suave
,
better
spoken
youth
than
Hegglund
,
though
not
so
attractive
as
Ratterer
,
Clyde
thought
,
without
the
latter
's
sympathetic
outlook
,
as
Clyde
saw
it
.
And
again
,
there
was
Doyle
--
Eddie
--
whom
Clyde
found
intensely
interesting
from
the
first
,
and
of
whom
he
was
not
a
little
jealous
,
because
he
was
so
very
good-looking
,
so
trim
of
figure
,
easy
and
graceful
of
gesture
,
and
with
so
soft
and
pleasing
a
voice
.
He
went
about
with
an
indescribable
air
which
seemed
to
ingratiate
him
instantly
with
all
with
whom
he
came
in
contact
--
the
clerks
behind
the
counter
no
less
than
the
strangers
who
entered
and
asked
this
or
that
question
of
him
.
His
shoes
and
collar
were
so
clean
and
trim
,
and
his
hair
cut
and
brushed
and
oiled
after
a
fashion
which
would
have
become
a
moving-picture
actor
.
From
the
first
Clyde
was
utterly
fascinated
by
his
taste
in
the
matter
of
dress
--
the
neatest
of
brown
suits
,
caps
,
with
ties
and
socks
to
match
.
He
should
wear
a
brown-belted
coat
just
like
that
.
He
should
have
a
brown
cap
.
And
a
suit
as
well
cut
and
attractive
.
