So Maurice, fulfilling his determination of calling that evening, managed to introduce the subject.
"Gilbert Grey called on you last evening, didn't he?"
"Yes; he is going away. He came to say good-by."
"I sha'n't miss him much."
"Why not? Are you not a good deal together?"
"In the store we are together. Out of it, I don't care to keep his company."
"Why not?"
"He isn't my style."
"If it means that he does not resemble you, Maurice, I think you are right."
"He is very much stuck up."
