“
Well
,
this
place
is
only
for
men
,
”
said
the
man
,
looking
up
from
the
lamp
.
“
Oh
,
”
said
Minna
,
“
oh
—
I
—
I
didn
’
t
know
.
”
She
looked
at
him
stupidly
,
and
he
,
with
equal
stupidity
,
returned
the
gaze
.
Thus
,
for
a
long
moment
,
they
held
each
other
’
s
eyes
.
“
I
—
I
didn
’
t
know
,
”
repeated
Minna
.
“
Yes
,
it
’
s
for
men
,
”
repeated
the
other
.
She
slowly
descended
the
stairs
,
and
once
more
came
out
upon
the
streets
.
And
upon
those
streets
that
,
as
the
hours
advanced
,
grew
more
and
more
deserted
,
more
and
more
silent
,
more
and
more
oppressive
with
the
sense
of
the
bitter
hardness
of
life
towards
those
who
have
no
means
of
living
,
Minna
Hooven
spent
the
first
night
of
her
struggle
to
keep
her
head
above
the
ebb
-
tide
of
the
city
’
s
sea
,
into
which
she
had
been
plunged
.
Morning
came
,
and
with
it
renewed
hunger
.
At
this
time
,
she
had
found
her
way
uptown
again
,
and
towards
ten
o
’
clock
was
sitting
upon
a
bench
in
a
little
park
full
of
nurse
-
maids
and
children
.
A
group
of
the
maids
drew
their
baby
-
buggies
to
Minna
’
s
bench
,
and
sat
down
,
continuing
a
conversation
they
had
already
begun
.
Minna
listened
.
A
friend
of
one
of
the
maids
had
suddenly
thrown
up
her
position
,
leaving
her
“
madame
”
in
what
would
appear
to
have
been
deserved
embarrassment
.
“
Oh
,
”
said
Minna
,
breaking
in
,
and
lying
with
sudden
unwonted
fluency
,
“
I
am
a
nurse
-
girl
.
I
am
out
of
a
place
.
Do
you
think
I
could
get
that
one
?
”
The
group
turned
and
fixed
her
—
so
evidently
a
country
girl
—
with
a
supercilious
indifference
.
