As
for
Hurstwood
,
he
was
alive
with
thoughts
and
feelings
concerning
Carrie
.
He
had
no
definite
plans
regarding
her
,
but
he
was
determined
to
make
her
confess
an
affection
for
him
.
He
thought
he
saw
in
her
drooping
eye
,
her
unstable
glance
,
her
wavering
manner
,
the
symptoms
of
a
budding
passion
.
He
wanted
to
stand
near
her
and
make
her
lay
her
hand
in
his
—
he
wanted
to
find
out
what
her
next
step
would
be
—
what
the
next
sign
of
feeling
for
him
would
be
.
Such
anxiety
and
enthusiasm
had
not
affected
him
for
years
.
He
was
a
youth
again
in
feeling
—
a
cavalier
in
action
.
In
his
position
opportunity
for
taking
his
evenings
out
was
excellent
.
He
was
a
most
faithful
worker
in
general
,
and
a
man
who
commanded
the
confidence
of
his
employers
in
so
far
as
the
distribution
of
his
time
was
concerned
.
He
could
take
such
hours
off
as
he
chose
,
for
it
was
well
known
that
he
fulfilled
his
managerial
duties
successfully
,
whatever
time
he
might
take
.
His
grace
,
tact
,
and
ornate
appearance
gave
the
place
an
air
which
was
most
essential
,
while
at
the
same
time
his
long
experience
made
him
a
most
excellent
judge
of
its
stock
necessities
.
Bartenders
and
assistants
might
come
and
go
,
singly
or
in
groups
,
but
,
so
long
as
he
was
present
,
the
host
of
old
-
time
customers
would
barely
notice
the
change
.
He
gave
the
place
the
atmosphere
to
which
they
were
used
.
Consequently
,
he
arranged
his
hours
very
much
to
suit
himself
,
taking
now
an
afternoon
,
now
an
evening
,
but
invariably
returning
between
eleven
and
twelve
to
witness
the
last
hour
or
two
of
the
day
’
s
business
and
look
after
the
closing
details
.
“
You
see
that
things
are
safe
and
all
the
employees
are
out
when
you
go
home
,
George
,
”
Moy
had
once
remarked
to
him
,
and
he
never
once
,
in
all
the
period
of
his
long
service
,
neglected
to
do
this
.
Neither
of
the
owners
had
for
years
been
in
the
resort
after
five
in
the
afternoon
,
and
yet
their
manager
as
faithfully
fulfilled
this
request
as
if
they
had
been
there
regularly
to
observe
.
On
this
Friday
afternoon
,
scarcely
two
days
after
his
previous
visit
,
he
made
up
his
mind
to
see
Carrie
.
He
could
not
stay
away
longer
.
“
Evans
,
”
he
said
,
addressing
the
head
barkeeper
,
“
if
any
one
calls
,
I
will
be
back
between
four
and
five
.
”
He
hurried
to
Madison
Street
and
boarded
a
horse
-
car
,
which
carried
him
to
Ogden
Place
in
half
an
hour
.
Carrie
had
thought
of
going
for
a
walk
,
and
had
put
on
a
light
grey
woollen
dress
with
a
jaunty
double
-
breasted
jacket
.
She
had
out
her
hat
and
gloves
,
and
was
fastening
a
white
lace
tie
about
her
throat
when
the
housemaid
brought
up
the
information
that
Mr
.
Hurstwood
wished
to
see
her
.
She
started
slightly
at
the
announcement
,
but
told
the
girl
to
say
that
she
would
come
down
in
a
moment
,
and
proceeded
to
hasten
her
dressing
.
Carrie
could
not
have
told
herself
at
this
moment
whether
she
was
glad
or
sorry
that
the
impressive
manager
was
awaiting
her
presence
.
She
was
slightly
flurried
and
tingling
in
the
cheeks
,
but
it
was
more
nervousness
than
either
fear
or
favour
.
She
did
not
try
to
conjecture
what
the
drift
of
the
conversation
would
be
.
She
only
felt
that
she
must
be
careful
,
and
that
Hurstwood
had
an
indefinable
fascination
for
her
.
Then
she
gave
her
tie
its
last
touch
with
her
fingers
and
went
below
.
