In a bid to build Hibbs’s career, Sheridan launches him into the machine shop. The pressure drives Bibbs to a sanitarium, a nervous wreck returning from the station to be met by his sister.
A reflection on how poor youths face snubs from wealthy peers causing poverty to sting, and how, conversely, a rich but likable young man may be shunned by a poor aristocrat for being from the new rich. The piece explores class tensions and prestige in social circles.
In the chapter segment, Bibbs and a narrator observe Sibyl as she fawns on their father to secure a twelve thousand dollar porch for a new house across the street. The scene contrasts Sibyl’s manipulation with Bibbs’s sly humor as they approach the house and note its scale and beauty.
An architect builds a gray stone residence with green slate roofs and rococo ornament, paired with a landscape designer’s vistas. The mansion exudes wealth and privacy, while staff and a bustling city backdrop hint at its elite setting and rising fortunes.
Bibbs Sheridan, recovering from illness, uncertainties about his father’s plans, and a lively circle of relatives converge for a stagy housewarming at the Sheridan home. Mary Vertrees shadows the scene with wit as Mrs Sheridan and the Vertreeses plot social moves around Jim Sheridan and Bibbs.
Mr Vertrees, a careful sixty year old man with a refined old world air, paces his library as he awaits returning guests. The scene describes Landseer engravings, a cheerful yet odd room, and his failed bets on rapid city growth that ruin him financially through a sequence of selling offices and farms to cover taxes.
In the scene Mary weighs pursuing a fortune-hunting plot against her growing dislike for the scheme. She confronts the risk of alienating Jim Sheridan while deciding how to handle the dinner encounter and the future of their arrangement.
