Oh
,
gee
,
and
we
're
supposed
to
dance
,
too
,
on
top
of
all
this
.
Well
,
heaven
help
me
,
is
all
I
have
to
say
,
"
put
in
Hortense
.
The
peculiar
sweetness
of
her
mouth
,
as
he
saw
it
,
as
well
as
the
way
she
crinkled
it
when
she
smiled
,
caused
Clyde
to
be
quite
beside
himself
with
admiration
and
pleasure
.
She
looked
quite
delightful
--
wonderful
to
him
.
Indeed
her
effect
on
him
made
him
swallow
quickly
and
half
choke
on
the
coffee
he
had
just
taken
.
He
laughed
and
felt
irrepressibly
gay
.
At
that
moment
she
turned
on
him
and
said
:
"
See
,
what
I
've
done
to
him
now
.
"
"
Oh
,
that
ai
n't
all
you
've
done
to
me
,
"
exclaimed
Clyde
,
suddenly
being
seized
with
an
inspiration
and
a
flow
of
thought
and
courage
.
Of
a
sudden
,
because
of
her
effect
on
him
,
he
felt
bold
and
courageous
,
albeit
a
little
foolish
and
added
,
"
Say
,
I
'm
gettin
'
kinda
woozy
with
all
the
pretty
faces
I
see
around
here
.
"
"
Oh
,
gee
,
you
do
n't
want
to
give
yourself
away
that
quick
around
here
,
Clyde
,
"
cautioned
Ratterer
,
genially
.
"
These
high-binders
'll
be
after
you
to
make
you
take
'em
wherever
they
want
to
go
.
You
better
not
begin
that
way
.
"
And
,
sure
enough
,
Louise
Ratterer
,
not
to
be
abashed
by
what
her
brother
had
just
said
,
observed
:
"
You
dance
,
do
n't
you
,
Mr.
Griffiths
?
"
"
No
,
I
do
n't
,
"
replied
Clyde
,
suddenly
brought
back
to
reality
by
this
inquiry
and
regretting
most
violently
the
handicap
this
was
likely
to
prove
in
this
group
.
"
But
you
bet
I
wish
I
did
now
,
"
he
added
gallantly
and
almost
appealingly
,
looking
first
at
Hortense
and
then
at
Greta
Miller
and
Louise
.
But
all
pretended
not
to
notice
his
preference
,
although
Hortense
titillated
with
her
triumph
.
She
was
not
convinced
that
she
was
so
greatly
taken
with
him
,
but
it
was
something
to
triumph
thus
easily
and
handsomely
over
these
others
.
And
the
others
felt
it
.
"
Ai
n't
that
too
bad
?
"
she
commented
,
a
little
indifferently
and
superiorly
now
that
she
realized
that
she
was
his
preference
.
"
You
might
come
along
with
us
,
you
and
Tom
,
if
you
did
.
There
's
goin
'
to
be
mostly
dancing
at
Kittie
's
.
"
Clyde
began
to
feel
and
look
crushed
at
once
.
To
think
that
this
girl
,
to
whom
of
all
those
here
he
was
most
drawn
,
could
dismiss
him
and
his
dreams
and
desires
thus
easily
,
and
all
because
he
could
n't
dance
.
And
his
accursed
home
training
was
responsible
for
all
this
.
He
felt
broken
and
cheated
.
What
a
boob
he
must
seem
not
to
be
able
to
dance
.
And
Louise
Ratterer
looked
a
little
puzzled
and
indifferent
,
too
.
But
Greta
Miller
,
whom
he
liked
less
than
Hortense
,
came
to
his
rescue
with
:
"
Oh
,
it
ai
n't
so
hard
to
learn
.
I
could
show
you
in
a
few
minutes
after
dinner
if
you
wanted
to
.
It
's
only
a
few
steps
you
have
to
know
.
And
then
you
could
go
,
anyhow
,
if
you
wanted
to
.
"
Clyde
was
grateful
and
said
so
--
determined
to
learn
here
or
elsewhere
at
the
first
opportunity
.
Why
had
n't
he
gone
to
a
dancing
school
before
this
,
he
asked
himself
.
But
the
thing
that
pained
him
most
was
the
seeming
indifference
of
Hortense
now
that
he
had
made
it
clear
that
he
liked
her
.
Perhaps
it
was
that
Bert
Gettler
,
previously
mentioned
,
with
whom
she
had
gone
to
the
dance
,
who
was
making
it
impossible
for
him
to
interest
her
.
So
he
was
always
to
be
a
failure
this
way
.
Oh
,
gee
!
