She
cast
about
vainly
for
some
possible
place
to
apply
,
but
found
no
door
which
she
had
the
courage
to
enter
.
It
would
be
the
same
thing
all
over
.
The
old
humiliation
of
her
plea
,
rewarded
by
curt
denial
.
Sick
at
heart
and
in
body
,
she
turned
to
the
west
,
the
direction
of
Minnie
’
s
flat
,
which
she
had
now
fixed
in
mind
,
and
began
that
wearisome
,
baffled
retreat
which
the
seeker
for
employment
at
nightfall
too
often
makes
.
In
passing
through
Fifth
Avenue
,
south
towards
Van
Buren
Street
,
where
she
intended
to
take
a
car
,
she
passed
the
door
of
a
large
wholesale
shoe
house
,
through
the
plate
-
glass
windows
of
which
she
could
see
a
middle
-
aged
gentleman
sitting
at
a
small
desk
.
One
of
those
forlorn
impulses
which
often
grow
out
of
a
fixed
sense
of
defeat
,
the
last
sprouting
of
a
baffled
and
uprooted
growth
of
ideas
,
seized
upon
her
.
She
walked
deliberately
through
the
door
and
up
to
the
gentleman
,
who
looked
at
her
weary
face
with
partially
awakened
interest
.
“
What
is
it
?
”
he
said
.
“
Can
you
give
me
something
to
do
?
”
said
Carrie
.
“
Now
,
I
really
don
’
t
know
,
”
he
said
kindly
.
“
What
kind
of
work
is
it
you
want
—
you
’
re
not
a
typewriter
,
are
you
?
”
“
Oh
,
no
,
”
answered
Carrie
.
“
Well
,
we
only
employ
book
-
keepers
and
typewriters
here
.
You
might
go
around
to
the
side
and
inquire
upstairs
.
They
did
want
some
help
upstairs
a
few
days
ago
.
Ask
for
Mr
.
Brown
.
”
She
hastened
around
to
the
side
entrance
and
was
taken
up
by
the
elevator
to
the
fourth
floor
.
“
Call
Mr
.
Brown
,
Willie
,
”
said
the
elevator
man
to
a
boy
near
by
.
Willie
went
off
and
presently
returned
with
the
information
that
Mr
.
Brown
said
she
should
sit
down
and
that
he
would
be
around
in
a
little
while
.
