Magnificent
Ambersons

8YNOP8I3.
CHAPTER I. Major Atnbmon had mad
a fortune In 1K73 when other people were los
ing fortune, and the magnificence of the
Ambemon'B began then, Major Amberson laid
out a 200-acre "development," with roads and
statuary, and in the centre of a four-acre
tract on Amberson avenue, built for himself
the most magnificent mansion the Midland
City had ever seen.
CHAPTER II. Wheii the, major's
daughter married young Wllber Mfnafer
the neighbors predicted that Isabel
could never really love Wilbur all her
love would be bestowed upon the children.
There wan only one child, however.
George Amberson Minafer, but his up
brlMKlnK and his youthful accomplish
menu as a mischief maker were quite in
keeping with the most pessimistic predic
tions. CHAPTER III. By the time George
went away to college he did not attempt
to conceal his belief that the Ambersons
were about the moat Important family in
the world. At a ball given in hla honor
when he returned from college, George
monopolized Lucy Morgan, a stranger and
tlie prettiest girl present, and got on fa
mously with her until he learned that a
"queer looking duck" at whom he had
been poking much fun, was the young
Indy's father. He was Eugene Morgan, a
former resident of Blgburg, and he was
returning there to erect a factory and to
build horseless carriages of hla own In
vention. CHAPTER IV.
The hero nf the fete, with the dnrk
eyed little beauty upon his arm,
reached the top of the second flight of
stnlrs; nnd here, beyond a spnelnns
Innding, wheats two proud-like darkles
tended ir crystalline punch bowl, four
wide archways In a rose-vine lattice
framed eliding silhouettes of waltzers,
already smoothly at It to the castanets
of "La Palomn." Old John Minafer,
evidently surfeited, was In the net of
leaving these delights escorted by a
middle-aged man of commonplace ap
pearance. The escort hud n dry, lined
face upon which, not ornamentally
hut us u matter of course, there grew
a business man's short mustache; and
his thin neck showed an Adam's apple,
but not conspicuously, for there was
nothing conspicuous about him. Bnlrt
Ish, dim, quiet, he was an unnntice
ahle part of this festival, and although
there were a dozen or more middle
aged men present, not cusimlly -to be
distinguished from him in general as
pect, he was probably the last person
In the big house at whom a strnngei
would liuve glanced twice. It did not
enter George's mind to mention to
Miss Morgan that this was his father,
or lo say anything whatever about
him.
Mr. Minafer shook his son's hand
unobtrusively in passing.
"I'll tuke Uncle John home," he
said In a low voice. "Then I guess
I'll go on home myself I'm not n
great hand at purties, you know.
Good night, George,"
(Jeorge murmured a friendly enough
good night without pausing. Ordi
narily he was not ashamed of the Min
afer ; be seldom thought about them
at all, for he belonged, as most Amer
lean children do, to (he mother's fnm
lly hut he was anxious not to linger
with Miss Morgan in the vicinity of
old John, whom he felt to be a dis
grace. He pushed brusquely through the
friii;; of calculating youths who were
gathered in the arches, watching for
chances to dance only with girls who
would s-xin be taken off 'heir hands,
and led bis stranger lady out upon the
floor. They caught the time Instantly,
und were away in the waltz.
George danced well, and Miss Mor
gan seemed to float as part of the mu
sic, the very dove Itself of "La Pold
ma." George became conscious of

ftssmtd to Float.
strange feeling within him: an exal
tation of soul, tender but Indefinite,
nnd seemingly located In the upper
part of hla diaphragm.
The stopping of the music cam
upon him like the waking to an alarm
clock ; for Instantly six or seven of
the calculating persona about the en
trywayn bore down Uxn Miss Morgan
to secure dances. George had to do
with one already established as
belle. It seemed.
"Give me the next and the one after
tbHt, he said hurriedly, recovering
some presence of mind, Just as the
nearct applicant reached them. "And
KJV: Uul wYLTy third one lbs rest of
the evening."
Bhe laughed. "Are you tsklnrT
"What do you mean, 'asking?"
"It sounded at though yon were Just
telling mo to giro you all thosa
dances." ' ,
"Well. I want 'em I" George Insisted.
"Are yon going to give me" .
"Good gracious I" she laughed.
"Yes!"
The applicants flocked round her,
urging contracts for what remained,
but they did not dislodge George from
her side, though he made It evident
that they succeeded In annoying him;
nnd presently, he extricated her from
an accumulating siege she must have
connived In the extrication and bore
her off to ait beside him upon the
stairway that led to the musicians'
gallery, where they were sufficiently
retired, yet had a view of the room.
"How'd all those ducka get to know
you so quick?" George Inquired, with
little enthusiasm.
. "Oh, I've been here a, week."
"Looks as If you'd been prettv
busy !" he said. "Most of those ducks,
I .don't know what my mother wnnted
to Invite 'em here for,"
"Perhaps It was on account of their
parents," Miss Monro n suggested
mildly. "Maybe she didn't want to
offend their fathers and mothers."
"Oh, hardly! I don't think my
mother need worry much about offend
ing anybody In thle old town."
"It must be wonderful," said Miss
Morgan. "It mur.t be wonderful. Mr.
Amberson Mr. Minafer, I menn."
"What must be wonderful?"
"To be so Important as that!"
"That Isn't 'Important, " George as
sured her. "Anybody that really la
anybody ought to be able to do about
as they like In their own .town. I
should think !"
She looked at him critically from
under her shading lashes but her
eyes grew gentler almost at once. In
truth, they beenmc more appreciative
than critical. George's Imperious good
looks were altogether manly, yet ap
proached nctunl beauty as closely as
a boy's good looks should dare: nnd
dunce music nnd (lowers nave some
effect upon nineteen-year-old girls as
well as upon elghteen-yeur-old boys.
The stairway was drafty: the sv-p:
were narrow nnd uncomfornhle : no
older person would have remained In
such a place. Moreover, these two
young people were strangers to each
other; neither had said anything In
which the other had discovered the
slightest Intrinsic Interest; there had
not arisen between them the begin
nings of congeniality, or even of
friendliness but stairways near ball
rooms have more to answer for thiin
have moonlit lakes and mountain sun
sets. Age, confused by Its own long ac
cumulation of follies, Is everlastingly
Inquiring, "what does she see In him?"
as If young love came about through
thinking or through conduct. At
eighteen one goes to a dance, sits with
a' stranger on stairway, feels pe
culiar, thinks nothing, and becomes
Incapable of any plan whatever. Miss
Morgan and George stayed where they
were.
They had agreed to this In silence
and without knowing It; certnlnly
without exchanging glances of Intelli
gence they had exchanged no glances
at all. Both sat staring vaguely out
Into the ballroom, and, for a time,
they did not speak. Here and the'
were to be seen couples so carried
away that, ceasing to move at the
decorous, even glide, considered most
knowing, they pranced and whirled
through the throng, from wall to wall,
gnlloping bounteously In abandon.
George suffered a shock of vague sur
prise when he perceived that his aunt,
Kiinny Minafer, was the lady-hnlf of
one of those wild couples. She flew
over the floor In the capable arms of
the queer-looking duck; for this per
son was her partner.
The queer-looking duck had been a
real dancer In his day. It appeared;
and evidently his day was not yet
over. In spite of the headlong, gay
rapidity with which he bore Miss
Fanny about the big room he danced
authoritatively, avoiding without ef
fort the lightest collision with other
couples, maintaining sufficient grace
throughout his wildest moments, and
all the while laughing and talking
with his purtner. What was most re
markable to Georgia, and a little Irri
tating, this stranger In the Amberson
mansion had no vestige of the air of
deference proper to u si ranger In such
a place: he seemed thoroughly at
home. He seemed offensively so, In
deed, when, passing ihe entrance to
the gallery stairway, he disengaged
his hand from Miss Fanny's for an In
stant, and not pausing In the dance,
waved a laughing snlutatlon more
than cordial, then capered lightly out
of sight.
George gwsed stonily at this mani
festation, responding neither by word
nor sign. "How's that for a bit of
freshness?" he murmured.
"What was?" Miss Morgan asked.
"Tu:.t queer-looking duck waving
his hand at me like that Except he's
the Sharon girls' uncle I don't known
hlra from Adam."
"You don't need to." she snld. "He I
wasn't waving hla bund to you: be
meant me."
"Oh, he did?" George was not mol
llfled by the explanation. "Everyone
Fit ma to mean you ! You certainly do
seem to have been pretty busy tills
week you've been here!"
She pressed her bouquet to her face
again and laughed Into It, not dis
pleased. Shu made no other com
ment, und for another period neither
spoke.
"Wei!," aald George Anally, "I must
say you don't seem to be much of a
prattler. They say It'a a great way
to get reputation for being wise
never saying much. Don't you ever
talk at all?"
"When people ran understand," slu
answered.
He had been looking moodily out
at the ballroom, but he turned to her
quickly, at this, saw that her eye
were aunny and content, over the top
of her bouquet, and he consented to
amlle.
"Girls are nsuully pretty fresh !" he
said. "They ..light to go to a man's
college about a year; they'd yet
taught a few thing about freshness!
What yon got to do after two o'clock
tomorrow afternoon?"
K wBoto lot of things. Every iao-
Uto PMi'l t p."
"All right" Said George, "The
anow'a Due for sleighing : I'll come for
you In a cutter at ten minutes after
two."
"I can't possibly go."
"If yon don't." he said, Tm going
to alt In the cutter In front of the
gate, wherever you're visiting, all
afternoon, and If you try to go out
with anybody else he's got to whip
me before he gets you." And as she
laughed though she blushed a little,
too he continued, seriously: "If you
think I'm not In earnest you're at lib
erty to make quite a big experiment !"
She laughed again. "I don't think
I've often hnd so large a compliment
as that," she said, "especially on such
short notice nnd yet I don't think
I'll go with you."
"You be ready at ten minutes after
two."
"No, I won't."
"Yes, you will !"
"Yes," she said, "I will 1" And her
partner for the next dance arrived,
breathless with searching.
"Don't forget I've got the - third
from now," George called after her.
Winn "the third from now" came
George presented himself before her
without any greeting, like a brother
or a mannerless old friend. Both
George nnd Miss Morgnn talked much
more to everyone olse that evening
thnn to each other, and they satd
nothing at all at this time. Boi
looked preoccupied as they began to
dance, and preserved a gravity of ex
pression to the end of the number.
And their next number they did not
dance, but went back to the gallery
talrway, seeming to have reached
an understanding without any verbal
consultation that this suburb was
again the place for them.
"Well," said George coolly, when
they were seated, "what did you say
your name was?"
"Morgnn."
"Funny, name!"
"Everybody else's name always Is."
"I didn't mean It was really funny,"
George explained. "That's Just one
of my crowd's bits, of horsing at col
lege. We always say 'funny name,' no
matter what it Is. I guess we're pret
ty fresh sometimes; but I knew your
name wns Morgan because my mother
said so downstairs. I meant: what's
the rest of It?"
"Lucy."
"How old are you?" George asked.
"I don't really know myself."
"What do you mean: you don't
really know yourself?"
"I mean I only know what they
tell me. I believe them, of course,
but believing Isn't really knowing."
"Look here !" said George. "Do you
always talk like this?"
Miss Lucy Morgan laughed forgiv
ingly, put her young head on one side
like a bird and responded cheerfully:
"I'm willing to learn wisdom. What
are you studying at school?"
"College !"
"At the university ! Yes. What are
you studying there?"
George laughed. "Lot o' useless
guff !"
"Then why don't you study some
useful guff?"
"What do you mean: 'Useful?'"
"Something you'd use later, in your
business or profession?"
George waved his hand Impatient
ly. "I don't expect to go Into an
'business or profession.'"
"No?"
"Certainly not!" George was em
phatic, being sincerely annoyed by fl
suggestion which showed how utterly
she failed to comprehend the kind of
person he was.
"Why not?" she asked mildly.
"Just look at 'em !" he said, almost
with bitterness, and he mude a ges
ture presumably Intended to Indicate
the business and professional men
now dnncing within range of vision.
"That's a fine career for a man, Isn't
It I Lnwyers, bonkers, politicians!
What do they get out of life, I'd like
to know! What do they ever know
about real things? Where do they
ever get?"
He was so earnest that she wa
surprised and Impressed. She had a
vague, momentary vision of I'itt, at
twenty-one, prime minister of Eng
land; and she spoke. Involuntarily In
a lowered voice, with deference:
"What do you want to be?" she
asked.
George answered promptly.
" vuchtsinan," he said.
