was a temperamental pariah. While he desired keenly to live
upon terms of social intimacy with many persons, and while,
not infrequently, he himself had made advances, there was
that in his manner tending to the ultimate overthrow of all
such ambitions. There was a diffidence in his mental
attitude that led, not only to an embarrassed manner, but
gave, as well, the appearance and qualities of a marplot.
Oguri had lain awake long to plan, in detail, some interview
or meeting that was to bring him the friendship of Cullen,
the full-back, or Wright, “the star debater,” and, having
settled the minutiae of proper familiarity with his
associates, had gone down to breakfast, only to ask for the
salt in a tone of voice that instantly attracted to himself
the full gaze of the tableful. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
