He
began
to
think
at
once
what
he
must
do
,
how
he
must
act
to
carry
on
his
buiness
,
to
rehabilitate
himself
;
and
as
he
did
so
he
dressed
and
pulled
the
bell-cord
,
which
had
been
indicated
to
him
,
and
which
would
bring
him
an
attendant
who
would
build
him
a
fire
and
later
bring
him
something
to
eat
.
A
shabby
prison
attendant
in
a
blue
uniform
,
conscious
of
Cowperwood
's
superiority
because
of
the
room
he
occupied
,
laid
wood
and
coal
in
the
grate
and
started
a
fire
,
and
later
brought
him
his
breakfast
,
which
was
anything
but
prison
fare
,
though
poor
enough
at
that
.
After
that
he
was
compelled
to
wait
in
patience
several
hours
,
in
spite
of
the
sheriff
's
assumption
of
solicitous
interest
,
before
his
brother
Edward
was
admitted
with
his
clothes
.
An
attendant
,
for
a
consideration
,
brought
him
the
morning
papers
,
and
these
,
except
for
the
financial
news
,
he
read
indifferently
.
Late
in
the
afternoon
Steger
arrived
,
saying
he
had
been
busy
having
certain
proceedings
postponed
,
but
that
he
had
arranged
with
the
sheriff
for
Cowperwood
to
be
permitted
to
see
such
of
those
as
had
important
business
with
him
.
By
this
time
,
Cowperwood
had
written
Aileen
under
no
circumstances
to
try
to
see
him
,
as
he
would
be
out
by
the
tenth
,
and
that
either
that
day
,
or
shortly
after
,
they
would
meet
.
As
he
knew
,
she
wanted
greatly
to
see
him
,
but
he
had
reason
to
believe
she
was
under
surveillance
by
detectives
employed
by
her
father
.
This
was
not
true
,
but
it
was
preying
on
her
fancy
,
and
combined
with
some
derogatory
remarks
dropped
by
Owen
and
Callum
at
the
dinner
table
recently
,
had
proved
almost
too
much
for
her
fiery
disposition
.
But
,
because
of
Cowperwood
's
letter
reaching
her
at
the
Calligans
'
,
she
made
no
move
until
she
read
on
the
morning
of
the
tenth
that
Cowperwood
's
plea
for
a
certificate
of
reasonable
doubt
had
been
granted
,
and
that
he
would
once
more
,
for
the
time
being
at
least
,
be
a
free
man
.
This
gave
her
courage
to
do
what
she
had
long
wanted
to
do
,
and
that
was
to
teach
her
father
that
she
could
get
along
without
him
and
that
he
could
not
make
her
do
anything
she
did
not
want
to
do
.
She
still
had
the
two
hundred
dollars
Cowperwood
had
given
her
and
some
additional
cash
of
her
own
--
perhaps
three
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
in
all
.
This
she
thought
would
be
sufficient
to
see
her
to
the
end
of
her
adventure
,
or
at
least
until
she
could
make
some
other
arrangement
for
her
personal
well-being
.
From
what
she
knew
of
the
feeling
of
her
family
for
her
,
she
felt
that
the
agony
would
all
be
on
their
side
,
not
hers
.
Perhaps
when
her
father
saw
how
determined
she
was
he
would
decide
to
let
her
alone
and
make
peace
with
her
.
She
was
determined
to
try
it
,
anyhow
,
and
immediately
sent
word
to
Cowperwood
that
she
was
going
to
the
Calligans
and
would
welcome
him
to
freedom
.
In
a
way
,
Cowperwood
was
rather
gratified
by
Aileen
's
message
,
for
he
felt
that
his
present
plight
,
bitter
as
it
was
,
was
largely
due
to
Butler
's
opposition
and
he
felt
no
compunction
in
striking
him
through
his
daughter
.
His
former
feeling
as
to
the
wisdom
of
not
enraging
Butler
had
proved
rather
futile
,
he
thought
,
and
since
the
old
man
could
not
be
placated
it
might
be
just
as
well
to
have
Aileen
demonstrate
to
him
that
she
was
not
without
resources
of
her
own
and
could
live
without
him
.
She
might
force
him
to
change
his
attitude
toward
her
and
possibly
even
to
modify
some
of
his
political
machinations
against
him
,
Cowperwood
.
Any
port
in
a
storm
--
and
besides
,
he
had
now
really
nothing
to
lose
,
and
instinct
told
him
that
her
move
was
likely
to
prove
more
favorable
than
otherwise
--
so
he
did
nothing
to
prevent
it
.
She
took
her
jewels
,
some
underwear
,
a
couple
of
dresses
which
she
thought
would
be
serviceable
,
and
a
few
other
things
,
and
packed
them
in
the
most
capacious
portmanteau
she
had
.
Shoes
and
stockings
came
into
consideration
,
and
,
despite
her
efforts
,
she
found
that
she
could
not
get
in
all
that
she
wished
.
Her
nicest
hat
,
which
she
was
determined
to
take
,
had
to
be
carried
outside
.
She
made
a
separate
bundle
of
it
,
which
was
not
pleasant
to
contemplate
.
Still
she
decided
to
take
it
.
She
rummaged
in
a
little
drawer
where
she
kept
her
money
and
jewels
,
and
found
the
three
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
and
put
it
in
her
purse
.
It
was
n't
much
,
as
Aileen
could
herself
see
,
but
Cowperwood
would
help
her
.
If
he
did
not
arrange
to
take
care
of
her
,
and
her
father
would
not
relent
,
she
would
have
to
get
something
to
do
.
Little
she
knew
of
the
steely
face
the
world
presents
to
those
who
have
not
been
practically
trained
and
are
not
economically
efficient
.
She
did
not
understand
the
bitter
reaches
of
life
at
all
.
She
waited
,
humming
for
effect
,
until
she
heard
her
father
go
downstairs
to
dinner
on
this
tenth
day
of
December
,
then
leaned
over
the
upper
balustrade
to
make
sure
that
Owen
,
Callum
,
Norah
,
and
her
mother
were
at
the
table
,
and
that
Katy
,
the
housemaid
,
was
not
anywhere
in
sight
.
Then
she
slipped
into
her
father
's
den
,
and
,
taking
a
note
from
inside
her
dress
,
laid
it
on
his
desk
,
and
went
out
.
It
was
addressed
to
"
Father
,
"
and
read
:
Dear
Father
--
I
just
can
not
do
what
you
want
me
to
.
I
have
made
up
my
mind
that
I
love
Mr.
Cowperwood
too
much
,
so
I
am
going
away
.
Do
n't
look
for
me
with
him
.
You
wo
n't
find
me
where
you
think
.
I
am
not
going
to
him
;
I
will
not
be
there
.
I
am
going
to
try
to
get
along
by
myself
for
a
while
,
until
he
wants
me
and
can
marry
me
.
I
'm
terribly
sorry
;
but
I
just
ca
n't
do
what
you
want
.
I
ca
n't
ever
forgive
you
for
the
way
you
acted
to
me
.
Tell
mama
and
Norah
and
the
boys
good-by
for
me
.
Aileen
To
insure
its
discovery
,
she
picked
up
Butler
's
heavy-rimmed
spectacles
which
he
employed
always
when
reading
,
and
laid
them
on
it
.
For
a
moment
she
felt
very
strange
,
somewhat
like
a
thief
--
a
new
sensation
for
her
.
She
even
felt
a
momentary
sense
of
ingratitude
coupled
with
pain
.
Perhaps
she
was
doing
wrong
.
Her
father
had
been
very
good
to
her
.
Her
mother
would
feel
so
very
bad
.
Norah
would
be
sorry
,
and
Callum
and
Owen
.
Still
,
they
did
not
understand
her
any
more
.
She
was
resentful
of
her
father
's
attitude
.
He
might
have
seen
what
the
point
was
;
but
no
,
he
was
too
old
,
too
hidebound
in
religion
and
conventional
ideas
--
he
never
would
.
He
might
never
let
her
come
back
.
Very
well
,
she
would
get
along
somehow
.
She
would
show
him
.
She
might
get
a
place
as
a
school-teacher
,
and
live
with
the
Calligans
a
long
while
,
if
necessary
,
or
teach
music
.
