Column A

    In Chicago he got work at the Union League Club, where he eventually⑴ met his wealthy⑵ uncle, Samuel Griffiths. The uncle, who owned a factory in Lycurgus, New York, took a fancy to⑶ Clyde and offered him work in the factory. Clyde went to Lycurgus. There his cousin⑷, Gilbert, resented⑸ this cousin from the Middle West. The whole family, with the exception of his uncle, considered Clyde beneath⑹ them socially, and would not accept him into their circle⑺. Clyde was given a job at the very bottom of the business, but his uncle soon made him a supervisor⑻.

    In the meantime Sondra Finchley, who disliked Gilbert, began to invite Clyde to parties she and her friends often gave. Her main purpose was to annoy⑼ Gilbert. Clyde's growing popularity forced the Griffiths to receive him socially, much to Gilbert's disgust⑽.

    In the course of⑾ his work at the factory Clyde met Roberta Alden, with whom he soon fell in love. Since it was forbidden⑿ for a supervisor to mix socially with an employee⒀, they had to meet secretly. Clyde attempted⒁ to persuade⒂ Roberta to give herself to him, but the girl refused. At last, rather than lose him, she consented⒃ and became his mistress⒄.
