These streets,after dinner, here, were so alive
with good-looking girls, andyoung men, too. Kemerer, he too started and thensaid:
Sure, thats right.
Hes like all thoseyoung fellows who work for
hotels.
This is Clyde Griffiths,the nephew of Samuel
Griffiths, Mr. Also that hehad encountered and made a friend of him and that he was
nowchaperoning him locally. And must not that spell a future of some sort, better
than any hehad known as yet?
I see him driving downCentral Avenue ever so often.
Hes the buyer for Starkand Company, you know. And throughoutthis time contrasting it
all with Chicago and Kansas City.
But why hadnt Samuel Griffiths had the graciousness
to receive andwelcome him? Whiggam believe that things were tobe made especially
easy for him, nor yet hard, either. This is Clyde Griffiths, the cousin of Gilbert
Griffiths.
Gilbert had said: Hes to be treated like all
theother employees as to time and work. And his aloof andcondescending manner
Dillard at once translated as class andconnection.
A man should never neglect thesesocial
essentials.
Micah Bumpus, a local vendor of printing inks, and
his wife andson; Mr. Well, howd you like to come with me, if youre not too busy. But
still a man cant work all the time,either.
Whereas, nothing that heuttered, as even Clyde
could see, was of the slightest importance. And you donthave to marry any of em,
either. But what he sees in all that to makeit worth while to come here is more than
I can guess.
By theway, you didnt chance to bring along your
dress suit with you, didyou?
And young Gilbert as briskly turned to his owndesk,
but at the same time shaking his head.
Whiggam with somewhat more spirit, once hewas out
of the presence of Gilbert Griffiths.
