He
was
counting
practically
,
and
man-fashion
,
on
her
love
for
her
children
.
Aileen
looked
at
him
with
clear
,
questioning
,
uncertain
eyes
.
She
was
not
wholly
without
sympathy
,
but
in
a
way
this
situation
did
not
appeal
to
her
as
needing
much
.
Mrs.
Cowperwood
was
not
friendly
in
her
mood
toward
her
.
It
was
not
based
on
anything
save
a
difference
in
their
point
of
view
.
Mrs.
Cowperwood
could
never
understand
how
a
girl
could
carry
her
head
so
high
and
"
put
on
such
airs
,
"
and
Aileen
could
not
understand
how
any
one
could
be
so
lymphatic
and
lackadaisical
as
Lillian
Cowperwood
.
Life
was
made
for
riding
,
driving
,
dancing
,
going
.
It
was
made
for
airs
and
banter
and
persiflage
and
coquetry
.
To
see
this
woman
,
the
wife
of
a
young
,
forceful
man
like
Cowperwood
,
acting
,
even
though
she
were
five
years
older
and
the
mother
of
two
children
,
as
though
life
on
its
romantic
and
enthusiastic
pleasurable
side
were
all
over
was
too
much
for
her
.
Of
course
Lillian
was
unsuited
to
Frank
;
of
course
he
needed
a
young
woman
like
herself
,
and
fate
would
surely
give
him
to
her
Then
what
a
delicious
life
they
would
lead
!
"
Oh
,
Frank
,
"
she
exclaimed
to
him
,
over
and
over
,
"
if
we
could
only
manage
it
.
Do
you
think
we
can
?
"
"
Do
I
think
we
can
?
Certainly
I
do
.
It
's
only
a
matter
of
time
.
I
think
if
I
were
to
put
the
matter
to
her
clearly
,
she
would
n't
expect
me
to
stay
.
You
look
out
how
you
conduct
your
affairs
.
If
your
father
or
your
brother
should
ever
suspect
me
,
there
'd
be
an
explosion
in
this
town
,
if
nothing
worse
.
They
'd
fight
me
in
all
my
money
deals
,
if
they
did
n't
kill
me
.
Are
you
thinking
carefully
of
what
you
are
doing
?
"
"
All
the
time
.
If
anything
happens
I
'll
deny
everything
.
They
ca
n't
prove
it
,
if
I
deny
it
.
I
'll
come
to
you
in
the
long
run
,
just
the
same
.
"
They
were
in
the
Tenth
Street
house
at
the
time
.
She
stroked
his
cheeks
with
the
loving
fingers
of
the
wildly
enamored
woman
.
"
I
'll
do
anything
for
you
,
sweetheart
,
"
she
declared
.
"
I
'd
die
for
you
if
I
had
to
.
I
love
you
so
.
"
"
Well
,
pet
,
no
danger
.
You
wo
n't
have
to
do
anything
like
that
.
But
be
careful
.
"
Then
,
after
several
years
of
this
secret
relationship
,
in
which
the
ties
of
sympathy
and
understanding
grew
stronger
instead
of
weaker
,
came
the
storm
.
It
burst
unexpectedly
and
out
of
a
clear
sky
,
and
bore
no
relation
to
the
intention
or
volition
of
any
individual
.
It
was
nothing
more
than
a
fire
,
a
distant
one
--
the
great
Chicago
fire
,
October
7th
,
1871
,
which
burned
that
city
--
its
vast
commercial
section
--
to
the
ground
,
and
instantly
and
incidentally
produced
a
financial
panic
,
vicious
though
of
short
duration
in
various
other
cities
in
America
.
The
fire
began
on
Saturday
and
continued
apparently
unabated
until
the
following
Wednesday
.
It
destroyed
the
banks
,
the
commercial
houses
,
the
shipping
conveniences
,
and
vast
stretches
of
property
.
The
heaviest
loss
fell
naturally
upon
the
insurance
companies
,
which
instantly
,
in
many
cases
--
the
majority
--
closed
their
doors
.
This
threw
the
loss
back
on
the
manufacturers
and
wholesalers
in
other
cities
who
had
had
dealings
with
Chicago
as
well
as
the
merchants
of
that
city
.
Again
,
very
grievous
losses
were
borne
by
the
host
of
eastern
capitalists
which
had
for
years
past
partly
owned
,
or
held
heavy
mortgages
on
,
the
magnificent
buildings
for
business
purposes
and
residences
in
which
Chicago
was
already
rivaling
every
city
on
the
continent
.
Transportation
was
disturbed
,
and
the
keen
scent
of
Wall
Street
,
and
Third
Street
in
Philadelphia
,
and
State
Street
in
Boston
,
instantly
perceived
in
the
early
reports
the
gravity
of
the
situation
.
