Her
sister
Minnie
knew
nothing
of
these
rather
wild
cerebrations
,
though
they
exhausted
the
markets
of
delight
.
She
was
too
busy
scrubbing
the
kitchen
woodwork
and
calculating
the
purchasing
power
of
eighty
cents
for
Sunday
’
s
dinner
.
When
Carrie
had
returned
home
,
flushed
with
her
first
success
and
ready
,
for
all
her
weariness
,
to
discuss
the
now
interesting
events
which
led
up
to
her
achievement
,
the
former
had
merely
smiled
approvingly
and
inquired
whether
she
would
have
to
spend
any
of
it
for
car
fare
.
This
consideration
had
not
entered
in
before
,
and
it
did
not
now
for
long
affect
the
glow
of
Carrie
’
s
enthusiasm
.
Disposed
as
she
then
was
to
calculate
upon
that
vague
basis
which
allows
the
subtraction
of
one
sum
from
another
without
any
perceptible
diminution
,
she
was
happy
.
When
Hanson
came
home
at
seven
o
’
clock
,
he
was
inclined
to
be
a
little
crusty
—
his
usual
demeanour
before
supper
.
This
never
showed
so
much
in
anything
he
said
as
in
a
certain
solemnity
of
countenance
and
the
silent
manner
in
which
he
slopped
about
.
He
had
a
pair
of
yellow
carpet
slippers
which
he
enjoyed
wearing
,
and
these
he
would
immediately
substitute
for
his
solid
pair
of
shoes
.
This
,
and
washing
his
face
with
the
aid
of
common
washing
soap
until
it
glowed
a
shiny
red
,
constituted
his
only
preparation
for
his
evening
meal
.
He
would
then
get
his
evening
paper
and
read
in
silence
.
For
a
young
man
,
this
was
rather
a
morbid
turn
of
character
,
and
so
affected
Carrie
.
Indeed
,
it
affected
the
entire
atmosphere
of
the
flat
,
as
such
things
are
inclined
to
do
,
and
gave
to
his
wife
’
s
mind
its
subdued
and
tactful
turn
,
anxious
to
avoid
taciturn
replies
.
Under
the
influence
of
Carrie
’
s
announcement
he
brightened
up
somewhat
.
“
You
didn
’
t
lose
any
time
,
did
you
?
”
he
remarked
,
smiling
a
little
.
“
No
,
”
returned
Carrie
with
a
touch
of
pride
.
He
asked
her
one
or
two
more
questions
and
then
turned
to
play
with
the
baby
,
leaving
the
subject
until
it
was
brought
up
again
by
Minnie
at
the
table
.
Carrie
,
however
,
was
not
to
be
reduced
to
the
common
level
of
observation
which
prevailed
in
the
flat
.
“
It
seems
to
be
such
a
large
company
,
”
she
said
,
at
one
place
.
“
Great
big
plate
-
glass
windows
and
lots
of
clerks
.
The
man
I
saw
said
they
hired
ever
so
many
people
.
”
