“
Perhaps
it
was
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
,
knowing
full
well
that
such
was
not
the
case
,
as
Jessica
had
been
her
companion
for
weeks
.
She
had
recovered
herself
sufficiently
to
wish
to
know
more
of
the
details
.
“
Was
it
in
the
afternoon
?
”
she
asked
,
artfully
,
assuming
an
air
of
acquaintanceship
with
the
matter
.
“
Yes
,
about
two
or
three
.
”
“
It
must
have
been
Jessica
,
”
said
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
,
not
wishing
to
seem
to
attach
any
importance
to
the
incident
.
The
physician
had
a
thought
or
two
of
his
own
,
but
dismissed
the
matter
as
worthy
of
no
further
discussion
on
his
part
at
least
.
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
gave
this
bit
of
information
considerable
thought
during
the
next
few
hours
,
and
even
days
.
She
took
it
for
granted
that
the
doctor
had
really
seen
her
husband
,
and
that
he
had
been
riding
,
most
likely
,
with
some
other
woman
,
after
announcing
himself
as
busy
to
her
.
As
a
consequence
,
she
recalled
,
with
rising
feeling
,
how
often
he
had
refused
to
go
to
places
with
her
,
to
share
in
little
visits
,
or
,
indeed
,
take
part
in
any
of
the
social
amenities
which
furnished
the
diversion
of
her
existence
.
He
had
been
seen
at
the
theatre
with
people
whom
he
called
Moy
’
s
friends
;
now
he
was
seen
driving
,
and
,
most
likely
,
would
have
an
excuse
for
that
.
Perhaps
there
were
others
of
whom
she
did
not
hear
,
or
why
should
he
be
so
busy
,
so
indifferent
,
of
late
?
In
the
last
six
weeks
he
had
become
strangely
irritable
—
strangely
satisfied
to
pick
up
and
go
out
,
whether
things
were
right
or
wrong
in
the
house
.
Why
?
She
recalled
,
with
more
subtle
emotions
,
that
he
did
not
look
at
her
now
with
any
of
the
old
light
of
satisfaction
or
approval
in
his
eye
.
Evidently
,
along
with
other
things
,
he
was
taking
her
to
be
getting
old
and
uninteresting
.
He
saw
her
wrinkles
,
perhaps
.
She
was
fading
,
while
he
was
still
preening
himself
in
his
elegance
and
youth
.
He
was
still
an
interested
factor
in
the
merry
-
makings
of
the
world
,
while
she
—
but
she
did
not
pursue
the
thought
.
She
only
found
the
whole
situation
bitter
,
and
hated
him
for
it
thoroughly
.
Nothing
came
of
this
incident
at
the
time
,
for
the
truth
is
it
did
not
seem
conclusive
enough
to
warrant
any
discussion
.
Only
the
atmosphere
of
distrust
and
ill
-
feeling
was
strengthened
,
precipitating
every
now
and
then
little
sprinklings
of
irritable
conversation
,
enlivened
by
flashes
of
wrath
.
The
matter
of
the
Waukesha
outing
was
merely
a
continuation
of
other
things
of
the
same
nature
.
The
day
after
Carrie
’
s
appearance
on
the
Avery
stage
,
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
visited
the
races
with
Jessica
and
a
youth
of
her
acquaintance
,
Mr
.
Bart
Taylor
,
the
son
of
the
owner
of
a
local
house
-
furnishing
establishment
.
They
had
driven
out
early
,
and
,
as
it
chanced
,
encountered
several
friends
of
Hurstwood
,
all
Elks
,
and
two
of
whom
had
attended
the
performance
the
evening
before
.
