As the weeks went on, he got anxious-looking; his clerical coat began to grow seedy, his white ties uncared for; he lost his fresh, cheeky talk, and the climax came late in March when one night I found him at Jake's sitting alone, his face bowed down on the table above his folded arms, and something so disheartened in his attitude that I felt sorry for the boy.

The old man answered: "Glory, no, miss; you're goin' East!" 'East! thought Nedda; 'I'd better take him. And she got in. She sat in the four-wheeler, smiling. And how far this was due to Chardonnet she did not consider.
