as formality. His father, he

MaTilee aroused no especial
emotion in him. He sometimes
felt . distaste for her eternal
cigarettes and her manner Of wear.
ing too revealing clothes and her
ability to swear like a truck-driver
when she was angry.
But since she was one he always
had taken for granted, he gave
theee things little thought.
Also he was sufficiently conven.
tional-minded to wish to do the
thing expected of him. Many OF
his sort have found their style
cramped by this.
