At
once
Clyde
's
countenance
darkened
.
The
witchery
of
her
look
was
too
much
for
him
.
The
skin
of
his
forehead
crinkled
and
then
smoothed
out
.
His
eyes
burned
lustfully
and
bitterly
,
his
old
resentment
of
life
and
deprivation
showing
.
No
doubt
all
she
said
was
true
.
There
were
others
who
had
more
and
would
spend
more
.
He
was
boasting
and
being
ridiculous
and
she
was
laughing
at
him
.
After
a
moment
,
he
added
,
weakly
,
"
I
guess
that
's
right
,
too
.
But
they
could
n't
want
you
more
than
I
do
.
"
The
uncalculated
honesty
of
it
flattered
her
not
a
little
.
He
was
n't
so
bad
after
all
.
They
were
gracefully
gliding
about
as
the
music
continued
.
"
Oh
,
well
,
I
do
n't
flirt
everywhere
like
I
do
here
.
These
fellows
and
girls
all
know
each
other
.
We
're
always
going
around
together
.
You
must
n't
mind
what
you
see
here
.
"
She
was
lying
artfully
,
but
it
was
soothing
to
him
none
the
less
.
"
Gee
,
I
'd
give
anything
if
you
'd
only
be
nice
to
me
,
"
he
pleaded
,
desperately
and
yet
ecstatically
.
"
I
never
saw
a
girl
I
'd
rather
have
than
you
.
You
're
swell
I
'm
crazy
about
you
.
Why
wo
n't
you
come
out
to
dinner
with
me
and
let
me
take
you
to
a
show
afterwards
?
Do
n't
you
want
to
do
that
,
tomorrow
night
or
Sunday
?
Those
are
my
two
nights
off
.
I
work
other
nights
.
"
She
hesitated
at
first
,
for
even
now
she
was
not
so
sure
that
she
wished
to
continue
this
contact
.
There
was
Gettler
,
to
say
nothing
of
several
others
,
all
jealous
and
attentive
.
Even
though
he
spent
money
on
her
,
she
might
not
wish
to
bother
with
him
.
He
was
already
too
eager
and
he
might
become
troublesome
.
At
the
same
time
,
the
natural
coquetry
of
her
nature
would
not
permit
her
to
relinquish
him
.
He
might
fall
into
the
hands
of
Greta
or
Louise
.
In
consequence
she
finally
arranged
a
meeting
for
the
following
Tuesday
.
But
he
could
not
come
to
the
house
,
or
take
her
home
to
-
night
--
on
account
of
her
escort
,
Mr.
Gettler
.
But
on
the
following
Tuesday
,
at
six-thirty
,
near
the
Green
--
Davidson
.
And
he
assured
her
that
they
would
dine
first
at
Frissell
's
,
and
then
see
"
The
Corsair
,
"
a
musical
comedy
at
Libby
's
,
only
two
blocks
away
.
Now
trivial
as
this
contact
may
seem
to
some
,
it
was
of
the
utmost
significance
to
Clyde
.
Up
to
this
time
he
had
never
seen
a
girl
with
so
much
charm
who
would
deign
to
look
at
him
,
or
so
he
imagined
.
And
now
he
had
found
one
,
and
she
was
pretty
and
actually
interested
sufficiently
to
accompany
him
to
dinner
and
to
a
show
.
It
was
true
,
perhaps
,
that
she
was
a
flirt
,
and
not
really
sincere
with
any
one
,
and
that
maybe
at
first
he
could
not
expect
her
to
center
her
attentions
on
him
,
but
who
knew
--
who
could
tell
?
And
true
to
her
promise
on
the
following
Tuesday
she
met
him
at
the
corner
of
14th
Street
and
Wyandotte
,
near
the
Green
--
Davidson
.
And
so
excited
and
flattered
and
enraptured
was
he
that
he
could
scarcely
arrange
his
jumbled
thoughts
and
emotions
in
any
seemly
way
.
But
to
show
that
he
was
worthy
of
her
,
he
had
made
an
almost
exotic
toilet
--
hair
pomaded
,
a
butterfly
tie
,
new
silk
muffler
and
silk
socks
to
emphasize
his
bright
brown
shoes
,
purchased
especially
for
the
occasion
.
But
once
he
had
reencountered
Hortense
,
whether
all
this
was
of
any
import
to
her
he
could
not
tell
.
For
,
after
all
,
it
was
her
own
appearance
,
not
his
,
that
interested
her
.
And
what
was
more
--
a
trick
with
her
--
she
chose
to
keep
him
waiting
until
nearly
seven
o'clock
,
a
delay
which
brought
about
in
him
the
deepest
dejection
of
spirit
for
the
time
being
.
For
supposing
,
after
all
,
in
the
interval
,
she
had
decided
that
she
did
not
care
for
him
and
did
not
wish
to
see
him
any
more
.
Well
,
then
he
would
have
to
do
without
her
,
of
course
.
