Young
Hurstwood
,
Jr
.
,
was
in
his
twentieth
year
,
and
was
already
connected
in
a
promising
capacity
with
a
large
real
estate
firm
.
He
contributed
nothing
for
the
domestic
expenses
of
the
family
,
but
was
thought
to
be
saving
his
money
to
invest
in
real
estate
.
He
had
some
ability
,
considerable
vanity
,
and
a
love
of
pleasure
that
had
not
,
as
yet
,
infringed
upon
his
duties
,
whatever
they
were
.
He
came
in
and
went
out
,
pursuing
his
own
plans
and
fancies
,
addressing
a
few
words
to
his
mother
occasionally
,
relating
some
little
incident
to
his
father
,
but
for
the
most
part
confining
himself
to
those
generalities
with
which
most
conversation
concerns
itself
.
He
was
not
laying
bare
his
desires
for
any
one
to
see
.
He
did
not
find
any
one
in
the
house
who
particularly
cared
to
see
.
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
was
the
type
of
woman
who
has
ever
endeavoured
to
shine
and
has
been
more
or
less
chagrined
at
the
evidences
of
superior
capability
in
this
direction
elsewhere
.
Her
knowledge
of
life
extended
to
that
little
conventional
round
of
society
of
which
she
was
not
—
but
longed
to
be
—
a
member
.
She
was
not
without
realisation
already
that
this
thing
was
impossible
,
so
far
as
she
was
concerned
.
For
her
daughter
,
she
hoped
better
things
.
Through
Jessica
she
might
rise
a
little
.
Through
George
,
Jr
.
’
s
,
possible
success
she
might
draw
to
herself
the
privilege
of
pointing
proudly
.
Even
Hurstwood
was
doing
well
enough
,
and
she
was
anxious
that
his
small
real
estate
adventures
should
prosper
.
His
property
holdings
,
as
yet
,
were
rather
small
,
but
his
income
was
pleasing
and
his
position
with
Fitzgerald
and
Moy
was
fixed
.
Both
those
gentlemen
were
on
pleasant
and
rather
informal
terms
with
him
.
The
atmosphere
which
such
personalities
would
create
must
be
apparent
to
all
.
It
worked
out
in
a
thousand
little
conversations
,
all
of
which
were
of
the
same
calibre
.
“
I
’
m
going
up
to
Fox
Lake
to
-
morrow
,
”
announced
George
,
Jr
.
,
at
the
dinner
table
one
Friday
evening
.
“
What
’
s
going
on
up
there
?
”
queried
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
.
“
Eddie
Fahrway
’
s
got
a
new
steam
launch
,
and
he
wants
me
to
come
up
and
see
how
it
works
.
”
“
How
much
did
it
cost
him
?
”
asked
his
mother
.
“
Oh
,
over
two
thousand
dollars
.
He
says
it
’
s
a
dandy
.
”
“
Old
Fahrway
must
be
making
money
,
”
put
in
Hurstwood
.
