She
talked
so
fast
and
swung
about
so
,
looking
now
at
the
open
fire
burning
in
the
grate
,
then
out
of
the
two
high
windows
that
commanded
the
front
lawn
and
a
full
view
of
Wykeagy
Avenue
,
lit
by
the
electric
lights
in
the
winter
dusk
,
that
her
mother
had
no
opportunity
to
insert
any
comment
until
this
was
over
.
However
,
she
managed
to
observe
:
"
Yes
?
Well
,
what
about
the
Anthonys
and
the
Nicholsons
and
the
Taylors
?
I
have
n't
heard
of
their
leaving
Greenwood
yet
.
"
"
Oh
,
I
know
,
not
the
Anthonys
or
the
Nicholsons
or
the
Taylors
.
Who
expects
them
to
move
?
They
're
too
old
fashioned
.
They
're
not
the
kind
that
would
move
anywhere
,
are
they
?
No
one
thinks
they
are
.
Just
the
same
Greenwood
is
n't
like
Twelfth
Lake
.
You
know
that
yourself
.
And
all
the
people
that
are
anybody
down
on
the
South
Shore
are
going
up
there
for
sure
.
The
Cranstons
next
year
,
Sondra
says
.
And
after
that
,
I
bet
the
Harriets
will
go
,
too
.
"
"
The
Cranstons
and
the
Harriets
and
the
Finchleys
and
Sondra
,
"
commented
her
mother
,
half
amused
and
half
irritated
.
"
The
Cranstons
and
you
and
Bertine
and
Sondra
--
that
's
all
I
hear
these
days
.
"
For
the
Cranstons
,
and
the
Finchleys
,
despite
a
certain
amount
of
local
success
in
connection
with
this
newer
and
faster
set
,
were
,
much
more
than
any
of
the
others
,
the
subject
of
considerable
unfavorable
comment
.
They
were
the
people
who
,
having
moved
the
Cranston
Wickwire
Company
from
Albany
,
and
the
Finchley
Electric
Sweeper
from
Buffalo
,
and
built
large
factories
on
the
south
bank
of
the
Mohawk
River
,
to
say
nothing
of
new
and
grandiose
houses
in
Wykeagy
Avenue
and
summer
cottages
at
Greenwood
,
some
twenty
miles
northwest
,
were
setting
a
rather
showy
,
and
hence
disagreeable
,
pace
to
all
of
the
wealthy
residents
of
this
region
.
They
were
given
to
wearing
the
smartest
clothes
,
to
the
latest
novelties
in
cars
and
entertainments
,
and
constituted
a
problem
to
those
who
with
less
means
considered
their
position
and
their
equipment
about
as
fixed
and
interesting
and
attractive
as
such
things
might
well
be
.
The
Cranstons
and
the
Finchleys
were
in
the
main
a
thorn
in
the
flesh
of
the
remainder
of
the
elite
of
Lycurgus
--
too
showy
and
too
aggressive
.
"
How
often
have
I
told
you
that
I
do
n't
want
you
to
have
so
much
to
do
with
Bertine
or
that
Letta
Harriet
or
her
brother
either
?
They
're
too
forward
.
They
run
around
and
talk
and
show
off
too
much
.
And
your
father
feels
the
same
as
I
do
in
regard
to
them
.
As
for
Sondra
Finchley
,
if
she
expects
to
go
with
Bertine
and
you
,
too
,
then
you
're
not
going
to
go
with
her
either
much
longer
.
Besides
I
'm
not
sure
that
your
father
approves
of
your
going
anywhere
without
some
one
to
accompany
you
.
You
're
not
old
enough
yet
.
And
as
for
your
going
to
Twelfth
Lake
to
the
Finchleys
,
well
,
unless
we
all
go
together
,
there
'll
be
no
going
there
,
either
.
"
And
now
Mrs.
Griffiths
,
who
leaned
more
to
the
manner
and
tactics
of
the
older
,
if
not
less
affluent
families
,
stared
complainingly
at
her
daughter
.
Nevertheless
Bella
was
no
more
abashed
that
she
was
irritated
by
this
.
On
the
contrary
she
knew
her
mother
and
knew
that
she
was
fond
of
her
;
also
that
she
was
intrigued
by
her
physical
charm
as
well
as
her
assured
local
social
success
as
much
as
was
her
father
,
who
considered
her
perfection
itself
and
could
be
swayed
by
her
least
,
as
well
as
her
much
practised
,
smile
.
"
Not
old
enough
,
not
old
enough
,
"
commented
Bella
reproachfully
.
"
Will
you
listen
?
I
'll
be
eighteen
in
July
.
I
'd
like
to
know
when
you
and
Papa
are
going
to
think
I
'm
old
enough
to
go
anywhere
without
you
both
.
Wherever
you
two
go
,
I
have
to
go
,
and
wherever
I
want
to
go
,
you
two
have
to
go
,
too
.
"
"
Bella
,
"
censured
her
mother
.
Then
after
a
moment
's
silence
,
in
which
her
daughter
stood
there
impatiently
,
she
added
,
"
Of
course
,
what
else
would
you
have
us
do
?
When
you
are
twenty-one
or
two
,
if
you
are
not
married
by
then
,
it
will
be
time
enough
to
think
of
going
off
by
yourself
.
But
at
your
age
,
you
should
n't
be
thinking
of
any
such
thing
.
"
Bella
cocked
her
pretty
head
,
for
at
the
moment
the
side
door
downstairs
was
thrown
open
,
and
Gilbert
Griffiths
,
the
only
son
of
this
family
and
who
very
much
in
face
and
build
,
if
not
in
manner
or
lack
of
force
,
resembled
Clyde
,
his
western
cousin
,
entered
and
ascended
.
He
was
at
this
time
a
vigorous
,
self-centered
and
vain
youth
of
twenty-three
who
,
in
contrast
with
his
two
sisters
,
seemed
much
sterner
and
far
more
practical
.
Also
,
probably
much
more
intelligent
and
aggressive
in
a
business
way
--
a
field
in
which
neither
of
the
two
girls
took
the
slightest
interest
.
He
was
brisk
in
manner
and
impatient
.
He
considered
that
his
social
position
was
perfectly
secure
,
and
was
utterly
scornful
of
anything
but
commercial
success
.
Yet
despite
this
he
was
really
deeply
interested
in
the
movements
of
the
local
society
,
of
which
he
considered
himself
and
his
family
the
most
important
part
.
Always
conscious
of
the
dignity
and
social
standing
of
his
family
in
this
community
,
he
regulated
his
action
and
speech
accordingly
.
Ordinarily
he
struck
the
passing
observer
as
rather
sharp
and
arrogant
,
neither
as
youthful
or
as
playful
as
his
years
might
have
warranted
.
Still
he
was
young
,
attractive
and
interesting
.
