“
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
’
s
extended
harangues
upon
the
subjects
of
wealth
and
position
taught
her
to
distinguish
between
degrees
of
wealth
.
Mrs
.
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
.
