text_original: Gregory stood by the empty hearth and waited, and while he waited, nothing struck him at all, for the Stoics seemed very natural, just mere men like himself, except that their clothes were better, which made him think: 'I shouldn't care to belong here and have to dress for dinner every night.' "Mr. Pendyce is very sorry, sir, but he's engaged." Gregory bit his lip, said "Thank you," and went away.
