The
plea
was
that
of
a
gaunt
-
faced
man
of
about
thirty
,
who
looked
the
picture
of
privation
and
wretchedness
.
Drouet
was
the
first
to
see
.
He
handed
over
a
dime
with
an
upwelling
feeling
of
pity
in
his
heart
.
Hurstwood
scarcely
noticed
the
incident
.
Carrie
quickly
forgot
.
The
complete
ignoring
by
Hurstwood
of
his
own
home
came
with
the
growth
of
his
affection
for
Carrie
.
His
actions
,
in
all
that
related
to
his
family
,
were
of
the
most
perfunctory
kind
.
He
sat
at
breakfast
with
his
wife
and
children
,
absorbed
in
his
own
fancies
,
which
reached
far
without
the
realm
of
their
interests
.
He
read
his
paper
,
which
was
heightened
in
interest
by
the
shallowness
of
the
themes
discussed
by
his
son
and
daughter
.
Between
himself
and
his
wife
ran
a
river
of
indifference
.
Now
that
Carrie
had
come
,
he
was
in
a
fair
way
to
be
blissful
again
.
There
was
delight
in
going
down
town
evenings
.
When
he
walked
forth
in
the
short
days
,
the
street
lamps
had
a
merry
twinkle
.
He
began
to
experience
the
almost
forgotten
feeling
which
hastens
the
lover
’
s
feet
.
When
he
looked
at
his
fine
clothes
,
he
saw
them
with
her
eyes
—
and
her
eyes
were
young
.
When
in
the
flush
of
such
feelings
he
heard
his
wife
’
s
voice
,
when
the
insistent
demands
of
matrimony
recalled
him
from
dreams
to
a
stale
practice
,
how
it
grated
.
He
then
knew
that
this
was
a
chain
which
bound
his
feet
.
“
George
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
,
in
that
tone
of
voice
which
had
long
since
come
to
be
associated
in
his
mind
with
demands
,
“
we
want
you
to
get
us
a
season
ticket
to
the
races
.
”
“
Do
you
want
to
go
to
all
of
them
?
”
he
said
with
a
rising
inflection
.
“
Yes
,
”
she
answered
.
The
races
in
question
were
soon
to
open
at
Washington
Park
,
on
the
South
Side
,
and
were
considered
quite
society
affairs
among
those
who
did
not
affect
religious
rectitude
and
conservatism
.
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
had
never
asked
for
a
whole
season
ticket
before
,
but
this
year
certain
considerations
decided
her
to
get
a
box
.
For
one
thing
,
one
of
her
neighbours
,
a
certain
Mr
.
and
Mrs
.
Ramsey
,
who
were
possessors
of
money
,
made
out
of
the
coal
business
,
had
done
so
.
In
the
next
place
,
her
favourite
physician
,
Dr
.
Beale
,
a
gentleman
inclined
to
horses
and
betting
,
had
talked
with
her
concerning
his
intention
to
enter
a
two
-
year
-
old
in
the
Derby
.
In
the
third
place
,
she
wished
to
exhibit
Jessica
,
who
was
gaining
in
maturity
and
beauty
,
and
whom
she
hoped
to
marry
to
a
man
of
means
.
Her
own
desire
to
be
about
in
such
things
and
parade
among
her
acquaintances
and
common
throng
was
as
much
an
incentive
as
anything
.
Hurstwood
thought
over
the
proposition
a
few
moments
without
answering
.
They
were
in
the
sitting
room
on
the
second
floor
,
waiting
for
supper
.
It
was
the
evening
of
his
engagement
with
Carrie
and
Drouet
to
see
“
The
Covenant
,
”
which
had
brought
him
home
to
make
some
alterations
in
his
dress
.
