"
Well
,
these
are
pretty
nifty
,
"
she
exclaimed
,
picking
up
a
rather
large
bouquet
of
violets
and
pinning
them
on
.
"
I
think
I
'll
wear
these
.
"
And
while
Clyde
paid
for
them
,
she
posed
before
the
mirror
,
adjusting
them
to
her
taste
.
At
last
,
being
satisfied
as
to
their
effect
,
she
turned
and
exclaimed
,
"
Well
,
I
'm
ready
,
"
and
took
him
by
the
arm
.
Clyde
,
being
not
a
little
overawed
by
her
spirit
and
mannerisms
,
was
at
a
loss
what
else
to
say
for
the
moment
,
but
he
need
not
have
worried
--
her
chief
interest
in
life
was
herself
.
"
Gee
,
I
tell
you
I
had
a
swift
week
of
it
last
week
.
Out
every
night
until
three
.
An
'
Sunday
until
nearly
morning
.
My
,
that
was
some
rough
party
I
was
to
last
night
,
all
right
.
Ever
been
down
to
Burkett
's
at
Gifford
's
Ferry
?
Oh
,
a
nifty
place
,
all
right
,
right
over
the
Big
Blue
at
39th
.
Dancing
in
summer
and
you
can
skate
outside
when
it
's
frozen
in
winter
or
dance
on
the
ice
.
An
'
the
niftiest
little
orchestra
.
"
Clyde
watched
the
play
of
her
mouth
and
the
brightness
of
her
eyes
and
the
swiftness
of
her
gestures
without
thinking
so
much
of
what
she
said
--
very
little
.
"
Wallace
Trone
was
along
with
us
--
gee
,
he
's
a
scream
of
a
kid
--
and
afterwards
when
we
was
sittin
'
down
to
eat
ice
cream
,
he
went
out
in
the
kitchen
and
blacked
up
an
'
put
on
a
waiter
's
apron
and
coat
and
then
comes
back
and
serves
us
.
That
's
one
funny
boy
.
An
'
he
did
all
sorts
of
funny
stuff
with
the
dishes
and
spoons
.
"
Clyde
sighed
because
he
was
by
no
means
as
gifted
as
the
gifted
Trone
.
"
An
'
then
,
Monday
morning
,
when
we
all
got
back
it
was
nearly
four
,
and
I
had
to
get
up
again
at
seven
.
I
was
all
in
.
I
coulda
chucked
my
job
,
and
I
woulda
,
only
for
the
nice
people
down
at
the
store
and
Mr.
Beck
.
He
's
the
head
of
my
department
,
you
know
,
and
say
,
how
I
do
plague
that
poor
man
.
I
sure
am
hard
on
that
store
.
One
day
I
comes
in
late
after
lunch
;
one
of
the
other
girls
punched
the
clock
for
me
with
my
key
,
see
,
and
he
was
out
in
the
hall
and
he
saw
her
,
and
he
says
to
me
afterwards
,
about
two
in
the
afternoon
,
'
Say
look
here
,
Miss
Briggs
'
(
he
always
calls
me
Miss
Briggs
,
'
cause
I
wo
n't
let
him
call
me
nothing
else
.
He
'd
try
to
get
fresh
if
I
did
)
,
'
that
loanin
'
that
key
stuff
do
n't
go
.
Cut
that
stuff
out
now
.
This
ai
n't
no
Follies
.
'
I
had
to
laugh
.
He
does
get
so
sore
at
times
at
all
of
us
.
But
I
put
him
in
his
place
just
the
same
.
He
's
kinda
soft
on
me
,
you
know
--
he
would
n't
fire
me
for
worlds
,
not
him
.
So
I
says
to
him
,
'
See
here
,
Mr.
Beck
,
you
ca
n't
talk
to
me
in
any
such
style
as
that
.
I
'm
not
in
the
habit
of
comin
'
late
often
.
An
'
wot
's
more
,
this
ai
n't
the
only
place
I
can
work
in
K.C.
.
If
I
ca
n't
be
late
once
in
a
while
without
hearin
'
about
it
,
you
can
just
send
up
for
my
time
,
that
's
all
,
see
.
'
I
was
n't
goin
'
to
let
him
get
away
with
that
stuff
.
And
just
as
I
thought
,
he
weakened
.
All
he
says
was
,
'
Well
,
just
the
same
,
I
'm
warnin
'
you
.
Next
time
maybe
Mr.
Tierney
'll
see
you
an
'
then
you
'll
get
a
chance
to
try
some
other
store
,
all
right
.
'
He
knew
he
was
bluffing
and
that
I
did
,
too
.
I
had
to
laugh
.
An
'
I
saw
him
laughin
'
with
Mr.
Scott
about
two
minutes
later
.
But
,
gee
,
I
certainly
do
pull
some
raw
stuff
around
there
at
times
.
"
By
then
she
and
Clyde
,
with
scarcely
a
word
on
his
part
,
and
much
to
his
ease
and
relief
,
had
reached
Frissell
's
.
And
for
the
first
time
in
his
life
he
had
the
satisfaction
of
escorting
a
girl
to
a
table
in
such
a
place
.
Now
he
really
was
beginning
to
have
a
few
experiences
worthy
of
the
name
.
He
was
quite
on
edge
with
the
romance
of
it
.
Because
of
her
very
high
estimate
of
herself
,
her
very
emphatic
picture
of
herself
as
one
who
was
intimate
with
so
many
youths
and
girls
who
were
having
a
good
time
,
he
felt
that
up
to
this
hour
he
had
not
lived
at
all
.
Swiftly
he
thought
of
the
different
things
she
had
told
him
--
Burkett
's
on
the
Big
Blue
,
skating
and
dancing
on
the
ice
--
Charlie
Trone
--
the
young
tobacco
clerk
with
whom
she
had
had
the
engagement
for
to-night
--
Mr.
Beck
at
the
store
who
was
so
struck
on
her
that
he
could
n't
bring
himself
to
fire
her
.
And
as
he
saw
her
order
whatever
she
liked
,
without
any
thought
of
his
purse
,
he
contemplated
quickly
her
face
,
figure
,
the
shape
of
her
hands
,
so
suggestive
always
of
the
delicacy
or
roundness
of
the
arm
,
the
swell
of
her
bust
,
already
very
pronounced
,
the
curve
of
her
eyebrows
,
the
rounded
appeal
of
her
smooth
cheeks
and
chin
.
There
was
something
also
about
the
tone
of
her
voice
,
unctuous
,
smooth
,
which
somehow
appealed
to
and
disturbed
him
.
To
him
it
was
delicious
.
Gee
,
if
he
could
only
have
such
a
girl
all
for
himself
!
And
in
here
,
as
without
,
she
clattered
on
about
herself
,
not
at
all
impressed
,
apparently
,
by
the
fact
that
she
was
dining
here
,
a
place
that
to
him
had
seemed
quite
remarkable
.
