Claudet, too much excited to perceive that the young girl's impassiveness was only on the surface, said to himself: "It is all over; she accepts my departure as an event perfectly natural; she treats me as she would Theotime, the coal-dealer, or the tax-collector Boucheseiche. A glass of wine, two or three unimportant questions, and then, good-by-a pleasant journey, and take care of yourself!"
"Anyone tell you you might cut practice?" "No, sir, I didn't know " "Never mind what you knew or didn't know. You know now that if you stay away again without permission you'll get dropped. That's all." Clint returned to the bench contentedly. After all he was, it seemed, not such an unimportant unit as he had supposed!
Jo stood, shaking, in the center of the room. Then he reached for a chair, gropingly, and sat down. He passed one moist, flabby hand over his forehead and it came away wet. The telephone rang.
