“
Nothing
of
the
kind
,
”
he
answered
.
“
I
can
’
t
avoid
business
relations
,
and
that
’
s
all
there
is
to
it
.
”
“
Well
,
never
mind
,
”
she
exclaimed
.
Her
lips
tightened
.
The
feeling
of
mutual
antagonism
was
increased
.
On
the
other
hand
,
his
interest
in
Drouet
’
s
little
shop
-
girl
grew
in
an
almost
evenly
balanced
proportion
.
That
young
lady
,
under
the
stress
of
her
situation
and
the
tutelage
of
her
new
friend
,
changed
effectively
.
She
had
the
aptitude
of
the
struggler
who
seeks
emancipation
.
The
glow
of
a
more
showy
life
was
not
lost
upon
her
.
She
did
not
grow
in
knowledge
so
much
as
she
awakened
in
the
matter
of
desire
.
Mrs

Hale

extended
harangues
upon
the
subjects
of

and
position
taught
her
to
distinguish
between
degrees
of
wealth

Hale
loved
to
drive
in
the
afternoon
in
the
sun
when
it
was
fine
,
and
to
satisfy
her
soul
with
a
sight
of
those
mansions
and
lawns
which
she
could
not
afford
.
On
the
North
Side
had
been
erected
a
number
of
elegant
mansions
along
what
is
now
known
as
the
North
Shore
Drive
.
The
present
lake
wall
of
stone
and
granitoid
was
not
then
in
place
,
but
the
road
had
been
well
laid
out
,
the
intermediate
spaces
of
lawn
were
lovely
to
look
upon
,
and
the
houses
were
thoroughly
new
and
imposing
.
When
the
winter
season
had
passed
and
the
first
fine
days
of
the
early
spring
appeared
,
Mrs
.
Hale
secured
a
buggy
for
an
afternoon
and
invited
Carrie
.
They
rode
first
through
Lincoln
Park
and
on
far
out
towards
Evanston
,
turning
back
at
four
and
arriving
at
the
north
end
of
the
Shore
Drive
at
about
five
o
’
clock
.
At
this
time
of
year
the
days
are
still
comparatively
short
,
and
the
shadows
of
the
evening
were
beginning
to
settle
down
upon
the
great
city
.
Lamps
were
beginning
to
burn
with
that
mellow
radiance
which
seems
almost
watery
and
translucent
to
the
eye
.
There
was
a
softness
in
the
air
which
speaks
with
an
infinite
delicacy
of
feeling
to
the
flesh
as
well
as
to
the
soul
.
Carrie
felt
that
it
was
a
lovely
day
.
She
was
ripened
by
it
in
spirit
for
many
suggestions
.
As
they
drove
along
the
smooth
pavement
an
occasional
carriage
passed
.
She
saw
one
stop
and
the
footman
dismount
,
opening
the
door
for
a
gentleman
who
seemed
to
be
leisurely
returning
from
some
afternoon
pleasure
.
Across
the
broad
lawns
,
now
first
freshening
into
green
,
she
saw
lamps
faintly
glowing
upon
rich
interiors
.
Now
it
was
but
a
chair
,
now
a
table
,
now
an
ornate
corner
,
which
met
her
eye
,
but
it
appealed
to
her
as
almost
nothing
else
could
.
Such
childish
fancies
as
she
had
had
of
fairy
palaces
and
kingly
quarters
now
came
back
.
She
imagined
that
across
these
richly
carved
entrance
-
ways
,
where
the
globed
and
crystalled
lamps
shone
upon
panelled
doors
set
with
stained
and
designed
panes
of
glass
,
was
neither
care
nor
unsatisfied
desire
.
She
was
perfectly
certain
that
here
was
happiness
.
If
she
could
but
stroll
up
yon
broad
walk
,
cross
that
rich
entrance
-
way
,
which
to
her
was
of
the
beauty
of
a
jewel
,
and
sweep
in
grace
and
luxury
to
possession
and
command
—
oh
!
how
quickly
would
sadness
flee
;
how
,
in
an
instant
,
would
the
heartache
end
.
She
gazed
and
gazed
,
wondering
,
delighting
,
longing
,
and
all
the
while
the
siren
voice
of
the
unrestful
was
whispering
in
her
ear
.
“
If
we
could
have
such
a
home
as
that
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hale
sadly
,
“
how
delightful
it
would
be
.
”
“
And
yet
they
do
say
,
”
said
Carrie
,
“
that
no
one
is
ever
happy
.
”

She
had
heard
so
much
of
the
canting
philosophy
of
the
grapeless
fox
.
“
I
notice
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hale
,
“
that
they
all
try
mighty
hard
,
though
,
to
take
their
misery
in
a
mansion
.
”
When
she
came
to
her
own
rooms
,
Carrie
saw
their
comparative
insignificance
.
She
was
not
so
dull
but
that
she
could
perceive
they
were
but
three
small
rooms
in
a
moderately
well
-
furnished
boarding
-
house
.
She
was
not
contrasting
it
now
with
what
she
had
had
,
but
what
she
had
so
recently
seen
.
The
glow
of
the
palatial
doors
was
still
in
her
eye
,
the
roll
of
cushioned
carriages
still
in
her
ears
.
