The
while
he
was
doing
this
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
was
observing
him
casually
through
the
medium
of
the
mirror
which
was
before
her
.
She
noticed
his
pleasant
and
contented
manner
,
his
airy
grace
and
smiling
humour
,
and
it
merely
aggravated
her
the
more
.
She
wondered
how
he
could
think
to
carry
himself
so
in
her
presence
after
the
cynicism
,
indifference
,
and
neglect
he
had
heretofore
manifested
and
would
continue
to
manifest
so
long
as
she
would
endure
it
.
She
thought
how
she
should
like
to
tell
him
—
what
stress
and
emphasis
she
would
lend
her
assertions
,
how
she
should
drive
over
this
whole
affair
until
satisfaction
should
be
rendered
her
.
Indeed
,
the
shining
sword
of
her
wrath
was
but
weakly
suspended
by
a
thread
of
thought
.
In
the
meanwhile
Hurstwood
encountered
a
humorous
item
concerning
a
stranger
who
had
arrived
in
the
city
and
became
entangled
with
a
bunco
-
steerer
.
It
amused
him
immensely
,
and
at
last
he
stirred
and
chuckled
to
himself
.
He
wished
that
he
might
enlist
his
wife
’
s
attention
and
read
it
to
her
.
“
Ha
,
ha
,
”
he
exclaimed
softly
,
as
if
to
himself
,
“
that
’
s
funny
.
”
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
kept
on
arranging
her
hair
,
not
so
much
as
deigning
a
glance
.
He
stirred
again
and
went
on
to
another
subject
.
At
last
he
felt
as
if
his
good
-
humour
must
find
some
outlet
.
Julia
was
probably
still
out
of
humour
over
that
affair
of
this
morning
,
but
that
could
easily
be
straightened
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
she
was
in
the
wrong
,
but
he
didn
’
t
care
.
She
could
go
to
Waukesha
right
away
if
she
wanted
to
.
The
sooner
the
better
.
He
would
tell
her
that
as
soon
as
he
got
a
chance
,
and
the
whole
thing
would
blow
over
.
“
Did
you
notice
,
”
he
said
,
at
last
,
breaking
forth
concerning
another
item
which
he
had
found
,
“
that
they
have
entered
suit
to
compel
the
Illinois
Central
to
get
off
the
lake
front
,
Julia
?
”
he
asked
.
She
could
scarcely
force
herself
to
answer
,
but
managed
to
say
“
No
,
”
sharply
.
Hurstwood
pricked
up
his
ears
.
There
was
a
note
in
her
voice
which
vibrated
keenly
.
“
It
would
be
a
good
thing
if
they
did
,
”
he
went
on
,
half
to
himself
,
half
to
her
,
though
he
felt
that
something
was
amiss
in
that
quarter
.
He
withdrew
his
attention
to
his
paper
very
circumspectly
,
listening
mentally
for
the
little
sounds
which
should
show
him
what
was
on
foot
.
As
a
matter
of
fact
,
no
man
as
clever
as
Hurstwood
—
as
observant
and
sensitive
to
atmospheres
of
many
sorts
,
particularly
upon
his
own
plane
of
thought
—
would
have
made
the
mistake
which
he
did
in
regard
to
his
wife
,
wrought
up
as
she
was
,
had
he
not
been
occupied
mentally
with
a
very
different
train
of
thought
.
Had
not
the
influence
of
Carrie
’
s
regard
for
him
,
the
elation
which
her
promise
aroused
in
him
,
lasted
over
,
he
would
not
have
seen
the
house
in
so
pleasant
a
mood
.
It
was
not
extraordinarily
bright
and
merry
this
evening
.
He
was
merely
very
much
mistaken
,
and
would
have
been
much
more
fitted
to
cope
with
it
had
he
come
home
in
his
normal
state
.
