It
was
a
portion
of
the
stock
room
which
gave
no
idea
of
the
general
character
of
the
place
,
and
Carrie
could
form
no
opinion
of
the
nature
of
the
work
.
“
So
you
want
something
to
do
,
”
said
Mr
.
Brown
,
after
he
inquired
concerning
the
nature
of
her
errand
.
“
Have
you
ever
been
employed
in
a
shoe
factory
before
?
”
“
No
,
sir
,
”
said
Carrie
.
“
What
is
your
name
?
”
he
inquired
,
and
being
informed
,
“
Well
,
I
don
’
t
know
as
I
have
anything
for
you
.
Would
you
work
for
four
and
a
half
a
week
?
”
Carrie
was
too
worn
by
defeat
not
to
feel
that
it
was
considerable
.
She
had
not
expected
that
he
would
offer
her
less
than
six
.
She
acquiesced
,
however
,
and
he
took
her
name
and
address
.
“
Well
,
”
he
said
,
finally
,
“
you
report
here
at
eight
o
’
clock
Monday
morning
.
I
think
I
can
find
something
for
you
to
do
.
”
He
left
her
revived
by
the
possibilities
,
sure
that
she
had
found
something
at
last
.
Instantly
the
blood
crept
warmly
over
her
body
.
Her
nervous
tension
relaxed
.
She
walked
out
into
the
busy
street
and
discovered
a
new
atmosphere
.
Behold
,
the
throng
was
moving
with
a
lightsome
step
.
She
noticed
that
men
and
women
were
smiling
.
Scraps
of
conversation
and
notes
of
laughter
floated
to
her
.
The
air
was
light
.
People
were
already
pouring
out
of
the
buildings
,
their
labour
ended
for
the
day
.
She
noticed
that
they
were
pleased
,
and
thoughts
of
her
sister
’
s
home
and
the
meal
that
would
be
awaiting
her
quickened
her
steps
.
She
hurried
on
,
tired
perhaps
,
but
no
longer
weary
of
foot
What
would
not
Minnie
say
!
Ah
,
the
long
winter
in
Chicago
—
the
lights
,
the
crowd
,
the
amusement
!
This
was
a
great
,
pleasing
metropolis
after
all
.
Her
new
firm
was
a
goodly
institution
.
Its
windows
were
of
huge
plate
glass
.
She
could
probably
do
well
there
.
Thoughts
of
Drouet
returned
—
of
the
things
he
had
told
her
.
She
now
felt
that
life
was
better
,
that
it
was
livelier
,
sprightlier
.
She
boarded
a
car
in
the
best
of
spirits
,
feeling
her
blood
still
flowing
pleasantly
.
She
would
live
in
Chicago
,
her
mind
kept
saying
to
itself
.
She
would
have
a
better
time
than
she
had
ever
had
before
—
she
would
be
happy
.
For
the
next
two
days
Carrie
indulged
in
the
most
high
-
flown
speculations
.
Her
fancy
plunged
recklessly
into
privileges
and
amusements
which
would
have
been
much
more
becoming
had
she
been
cradled
a
child
of
fortune
.
With
ready
will
and
quick
mental
selection
she
scattered
her
meagre
four
-
fifty
per
week
with
a
swift
and
graceful
hand
.
Indeed
,
as
she
sat
in
her
rocking
-
chair
these
several
evenings
before
going
to
bed
and
looked
out
upon
the
pleasantly
lighted
street
,
this
money
cleared
for
its
prospective
possessor
the
way
to
every
joy
and
every
bauble
which
the
heart
of
woman
may
desire
.
“
I
will
have
a
fine
time
,
”
she
thought
.
