By
the
evening
of
the
16th
the
subtle
hand
of
Hurstwood
had
made
itself
apparent
.
He
had
given
the
word
among
his
friends
—
and
they
were
many
and
influential
—
that
here
was
something
which
they
ought
to
attend
,
and
,
as
a
consequence
,
the
sale
of
tickets
by
Mr
.
Quincel
,
acting
for
the
lodge
,
had
been
large
.
Small
four
-
line
notes
had
appeared
in
all
of
the
daily
newspapers
.
These
he
had
arranged
for
by
the
aid
of
one
of
his
newspaper
friends
on
the
“
Times
,
”
Mr
.
Harry
McGarren
,
the
managing
editor
.
“
Say
,
Harry
,
”
Hurstwood
said
to
him
one
evening
,
as
the
latter
stood
at
the
bar
drinking
before
wending
his
belated
way
homeward
,
“
you
can
help
the
boys
out
,
I
guess
.
”
“
What
is
it
?
”
said
McGarren
,
pleased
to
be
consulted
by
the
opulent
manager
.
“
The
Custer
Lodge
is
getting
up
a
little
entertainment
for
their
own
good
,
and
they
’
d
like
a
little
newspaper
notice
.
You
know
what
I
mean
—
a
squib
or
two
saying
that
it
’
s
going
to
take
place
.
”
“
Certainly
,
”
said
McGarren
,
“
I
can
fix
that
for
you
,
George
.
”
At
the
same
time
Hurstwood
kept
himself
wholly
in
the
background
.
The
members
of
Custer
Lodge
could
scarcely
understand
why
their
little
affair
was
taking
so
well
.
Mr
.
Harry
Quincel
was
looked
upon
as
quite
a
star
for
this
sort
of
work
.
By
the
time
the
16th
had
arrived
Hurstwood
’
s
friends
had
rallied
like
Romans
to
a
senator
’
s
call
.
A
well
-
dressed
,
good
-
natured
,
flatteringly
-
inclined
audience
was
assured
from
the
moment
he
thought
of
assisting
Carrie
.
That
little
student
had
mastered
her
part
to
her
own
satisfaction
,
much
as
she
trembled
for
her
fate
when
she
should
once
face
the
gathered
throng
,
behind
the
glare
of
the
footlights
.
She
tried
to
console
herself
with
the
thought
that
a
score
of
other
persons
,
men
and
women
,
were
equally
tremulous
concerning
the
outcome
of
their
efforts
,
but
she
could
not
disassociate
the
general
danger
from
her
own
individual
liability
.
She
feared
that
she
would
forget
her
lines
,
that
she
might
be
unable
to
master
the
feeling
which
she
now
felt
concerning
her
own
movements
in
the
play
.
At
times
she
wished
that
she
had
never
gone
into
the
affair
;
at
others
,
she
trembled
lest
she
should
be
paralysed
with
fear
and
stand
white
and
gasping
,
not
knowing
what
to
say
and
spoiling
the
entire
performance
.
In
the
matter
of
the
company
,
Mr
.
Bamberger
had
disappeared
.
That
hopeless
example
had
fallen
under
the
lance
of
the
director
’
s
criticism
.
Mrs
.
Morgan
was
still
present
,
but
envious
and
determined
,
if
for
nothing
more
than
spite
,
to
do
as
well
as
Carrie
at
least
.
A
loafing
professional
had
been
called
in
to
assume
the
role
of
Ray
,
and
,
while
he
was
a
poor
stick
of
his
kind
,
he
was
not
troubled
by
any
of
those
qualms
which
attack
the
spirit
of
those
who
have
never
faced
an
audience
.
He
swashed
about
(
cautioned
though
he
was
to
maintain
silence
concerning
his
past
theatrical
relationships
)
in
such
a
self
-
confident
manner
that
he
was
like
to
convince
every
one
of
his
identity
by
mere
matter
of
circumstantial
evidence
.
“
It
is
so
easy
,
”
he
said
to
Mrs
.
Morgan
,
in
the
usual
affected
stage
voice
.
