He
began
to
sense
the
delight
of
personal
freedom
--
to
sniff
the
air
of
personal
and
delicious
romance
--
and
he
was
not
to
be
held
back
by
any
suggestion
which
his
mother
could
now
make
.
And
so
the
interesting
dinner
,
with
Clyde
attending
,
came
to
pass
.
And
it
was
partaken
of
at
Frissell
's
,
as
Ratterer
had
said
.
And
by
now
Clyde
,
having
come
to
be
on
genial
terms
with
all
of
these
youths
,
was
in
the
gayest
of
moods
about
it
all
.
Think
of
his
new
state
in
life
,
anyhow
.
Only
a
few
weeks
ago
he
was
all
alone
,
not
a
boy
friend
,
scarcely
a
boy
acquaintance
in
the
world
!
And
here
he
was
,
so
soon
after
,
going
to
this
fine
dinner
with
this
interesting
group
.
And
true
to
the
illusions
of
youth
,
the
place
appeared
far
more
interesting
than
it
really
was
.
It
was
little
more
than
an
excellent
chop-house
of
the
older
American
order
.
Its
walls
were
hung
thick
with
signed
pictures
of
actors
and
actresses
,
together
with
playbills
of
various
periods
.
And
because
of
the
general
excellence
of
the
food
,
to
say
nothing
of
the
geniality
of
its
present
manager
,
it
had
become
the
hangout
of
passing
actors
,
politicians
,
local
business
men
,
and
after
them
,
the
generality
of
followers
who
are
always
drawn
by
that
which
presents
something
a
little
different
to
that
with
which
they
are
familiar
.
And
these
boys
,
having
heard
at
one
time
and
another
from
cab
and
taxi
drivers
that
this
was
one
of
the
best
places
in
town
,
fixed
upon
it
for
their
monthly
dinners
.
Single
plates
of
anything
cost
from
sixty
cents
to
a
dollar
.
Coffee
and
tea
were
served
in
pots
only
.
You
could
get
anything
you
wanted
to
drink
.
To
the
left
of
the
main
room
as
you
went
in
was
a
darker
and
low-ceilinged
room
with
a
fireplace
,
to
which
only
men
resorted
and
sat
and
smoked
,
and
read
papers
after
dinner
,
and
it
was
for
this
room
that
these
youths
reserved
their
greatest
admiration
.
Eating
here
,
they
somehow
felt
older
,
wiser
,
more
important
--
real
men
of
the
world
.
And
Ratterer
and
Hegglund
,
to
whom
by
now
Clyde
had
become
very
much
attached
,
as
well
as
most
of
the
others
,
were
satisfied
that
there
was
not
another
place
in
all
Kansas
City
that
was
really
as
good
.
And
so
this
day
,
having
drawn
their
pay
at
noon
,
and
being
off
at
six
for
the
night
,
they
gathered
outside
the
hotel
at
the
corner
nearest
the
drug
store
at
which
Clyde
had
originally
applied
for
work
,
and
were
off
in
a
happy
,
noisy
frame
of
mind
--
Hegglund
,
Ratterer
,
Paul
Shiel
,
Davis
Higby
,
another
youth
,
Arthur
Kinsella
and
Clyde
.

"
"
Sure
,

one

"
exclaimed
Paul
Shiel
.
"
I
took
up
some
drinks
myself
.
I
felt
there
was
something
phony
about
that
guy
.
He
was

smooth
and
loud-talking
.
An
