Clyde
,
not
being
sure
of
her
real
attitude
,
merely
looked
at
her
and
exclaimed
:
"
Why
,
where
would
I
get
a
hundred
dollars
,
Ma
?
"
He
had
visions
of
his
new-found
source
of
wealth
being
dissipated
by
such
unheard
of
and
inexplicable
demands
as
this
,
and
distress
and
distrust
at
once
showed
on
his
countenance
.
"
I
did
n't
expect
that
you
could
get
it
all
for
me
,
"
Mrs.
Griffiths
suggested
tactfully
.
"
I
have
a
plan
to
raise
the
most
of
it
,
I
think
.
But
I
did
want
you
to
help
me
try
to
think
how
I
would
raise
the
rest
.
I
did
n't
want
to
go
to
your
father
with
this
if
I
could
help
it
,
and
you
're
getting
old
enough
now
to
be
of
some
help
.
"
She
looked
at
Clyde
approvingly
and
interestedly
enough
.
"
Your
father
is
such
a
poor
hand
at
business
,
"
she
went
on
,
"
and
he
gets
so
worried
at
times
.
"
She
passed
a
large
and
weary
hand
over
her
face
and
Clyde
was
moved
by
her
predicament
,
whatever
it
was
.
At
the
same
time
,
apart
from
whether
he
was
willing
to
part
with
so
much
or
not
,
or
had
it
to
give
,
he
was
decidedly
curious
about
what
all
this
was
for
.
A
hundred
dollars
!
Gee
whiz
!
After
a
moment
or
two
,
his
mother
added
:
"
I
'll
tell
you
what
I
've
been
thinking
.
I
must
have
a
hundred
dollars
,
but
I
ca
n't
tell
you
for
what
now
,
you
nor
any
one
,
and
you
must
n't
ask
me
.
There
's
an
old
gold
watch
of
your
father
's
in
my
desk
and
a
solid
gold
ring
and
pin
of
mine
.
Those
things
ought
to
be
worth
twenty-five
dollars
at
least
,
if
they
were
sold
or
pawned
.
Then
there
is
that
set
of
solid
silver
knives
and
forks
and
that
silver
platter
and
pitcher
in
there
"
--
Clyde
knew
the
keepsakes
well
--
"
that
platter
alone
is
worth
twenty-five
dollars
.
I
believe
they
ought
to
bring
at
least
twenty
or
twenty-five
together
.
I
was
thinking
if
I
could
get
you
to
go
to
some
good
pawnshop
with
them
down
near
where
you
work
,
and
then
if
you
would
let
me
have
five
more
a
week
for
a
while
"
(
Clyde
's
countenance
fell
)
--
"
I
could
get
a
friend
of
mine
--
Mr.
Murch
who
comes
here
,
you
know
--
to
advance
me
enough
to
make
up
the
hundred
,
and
then
I
could
pay
him
back
out
of
what
you
pay
me
.
I
have
about
ten
dollars
myself
.
"
She
looked
at
Clyde
as
much
as
to
say
:
"
Now
,
surely
,
you
wo
n't
desert
me
in
my
hour
of
trouble
,
"
and
Clyde
relaxed
,
in
spite
of
the
fact
that
he
had
been
counting
upon
using
quite
all
that
he
earned
for
himself
.
In
fact
,
he
agreed
to
take
the
trinkets
to
the
pawnshop
,
and
to
advance
her
five
more
for
the
time
being
until
the
difference
between
whatever
the
trinkets
brought
and
one
hundred
dollars
was
made
up
.
And
yet
in
spite
of
himself
,
he
could
not
help
resenting
this
extra
strain
,
for
it
had
only
been
a
very
short
time
that
he
had
been
earning
so
much
.
And
here
was
his
mother
demanding
more
and
more
,
as
he
saw
it
--
ten
dollars
a
week
now
.
Always
something
wrong
,
thought
Clyde
,
always
something
needed
,
and
with
no
assurance
that
there
would
not
be
more
such
demands
later
.
He
took
the
trinkets
,
carried
them
to
the
most
presentable
pawnshop
he
could
find
,
and
being
offered
forty-five
dollars
for
the
lot
,
took
it
.
This
,
with
his
mother
's
ten
,
would
make
fifty-five
,
and
with
forty-five
she
could
borrow
from
Mr.
Murch
,
would
make
a
hundred
.
Only
now
,
as
he
saw
,
it
would
mean
that
for
nine
weeks
he
would
have
to
give
her
ten
dollars
instead
of
five
.
And
that
,
in
view
of
his
present
aspirations
to
dress
,
live
and
enjoy
himself
in
a
way
entirely
different
from
what
he
previously
considered
necessary
,
was
by
no
means
a
pleasure
to
contemplate
.
Nevertheless
he
decided
to
do
it
.
After
all
he
owed
his
mother
something
.
She
had
made
many
sacrifices
for
him
and
the
others
in
days
past
and
he
could
not
afford
to
be
too
selfish
.
It
was
not
decent
.
But
the
most
enduring
thought
that
now
came
to
him
was
that
if
his
mother
and
father
were
going
to
look
to
him
for
financial
aid
,
they
should
be
willing
to
show
him
more
consideration
than
had
previously
been
shown
him
.
For
one
thing
he
ought
to
be
allowed
to
come
and
go
with
more
freedom
,
in
so
far
as
his
night
hours
were
concerned
.
And
at
the
same
time
he
was
clothing
himself
and
eating
his
meals
at
the
hotel
,
and
that
was
no
small
item
,
as
he
saw
it
.
However
,
there
was
another
problem
that
had
soon
arisen
and
it
was
this
.
