His quiet unobtrusiveness and utter lack of show or pretense, coupled with his determination to get by on his own, has made him one of the most popular young men in town.

"Cissy" immediately cautioned him about pulling down the blind. "Oh, certainly," Freddie answered. "What would they think if they should see me a la carte?"
