Mrs
.
Hurstwood
,
on
the
contrary
,
had
decided
not
to
lose
her
advantage
by
inaction
.
Now
that
she
had
practically
cowed
him
,
she
would
follow
up
her
work
with
demands
,
the
acknowledgment
of
which
would
make
her
word
law
in
the
future
.
He
would
have
to
pay
her
the
money
which
she
would
now
regularly
demand
or
there
would
be
trouble
.
It
did
not
matter
what
he
did
.
She
really
did
not
care
whether
he
came
home
any
more
or
not
.
The
household
would
move
along
much
more
pleasantly
without
him
,
and
she
could
do
as
she
wished
without
consulting
any
one
.
Now
she
proposed
to
consult
a
lawyer
and
hire
a
detective
.
She
would
find
out
at
once
just
what
advantages
she
could
gain
.
Hurstwood
walked
the
floor
,
mentally
arranging
the
chief
points
of
his
situation
.
“
She
has
that
property
in
her
name
,
”
he
kept
saying
to
himself
.
“
What
a
fool
trick
that
was
.
Curse
it
!
What
a
fool
move
that
was
.
”
He
also
thought
of
his
managerial
position
.
“
If
she
raises
a
row
now
I
’
ll
lose
this
thing
.
They
won
’
t
have
me
around
if
my
name
gets
in
the
papers
.
My
friends
,
too
!
”
He
grew
more
angry
as
he
thought
of
the
talk
any
action
on
her
part
would
create
.
How
would
the
papers
talk
about
it
?
Every
man
he
knew
would
be
wondering
.
He
would
have
to
explain
and
deny
and
make
a
general
mark
of
himself
.
Then
Moy
would
come
and
confer
with
him
and
there
would
be
the
devil
to
pay
.
Many
little
wrinkles
gathered
between
his
eyes
as
he
contemplated
this
,
and
his
brow
moistened
.
He
saw
no
solution
of
anything
—
not
a
loophole
left
.
Through
all
this
thoughts
of
Carrie
flashed
upon
him
,
and
the
approaching
affair
of
Saturday
.
Tangled
as
all
his
matters
were
,
he
did
not
worry
over
that
.
It
was
the
one
pleasing
thing
in
this
whole
rout
of
trouble
.
He
could
arrange
that
satisfactorily
,
for
Carrie
would
be
glad
to
wait
,
if
necessary
.
He
would
see
how
things
turned
out
to
-
morrow
,
and
then
he
would
talk
to
her
.
They
were
going
to
meet
as
usual
.
He
saw
only
her
pretty
face
and
neat
figure
and
wondered
why
life
was
not
arranged
so
that
such
joy
as
he
found
with
her
could
be
steadily
maintained
.
How
much
more
pleasant
it
would
be
.
Then
he
would
take
up
his
wife
’
s
threat
again
,
and
the
wrinkles
and
moisture
would
return
.
In
the
morning
he
came
over
from
the
hotel
and
opened
his
mail
,
but
there
was
nothing
in
it
outside
the
ordinary
run
.
For
some
reason
he
felt
as
if
something
might
come
that
way
,
and
was
relieved
when
all
the
envelopes
had
been
scanned
and
nothing
suspicious
noticed
.
He
began
to
feel
the
appetite
that
had
been
wanting
before
he
had
reached
the
office
,
and
decided
before
going
out
to
the
park
to
meet
Carrie
to
drop
in
at
the
Grand
Pacific
and
have
a
pot
of
coffee
and
some
rolls
.
While
the
danger
had
not
lessened
,
it
had
not
as
yet
materialised
,
and
with
him
no
news
was
good
news
.
If
he
could
only
get
plenty
of
time
to
think
,
perhaps
something
would
turn
up
.
Surely
,
surely
,
this
thing
would
not
drift
along
to
catastrophe
and
he
not
find
a
way
out
.
His
spirits
fell
,
however
,
when
,
upon
reaching
the
park
,
he
waited
and
waited
and
Carrie
did
not
come
.
He
held
his
favourite
post
for
an
hour
or
more
,
then
arose
and
began
to
walk
about
restlessly
.
Could
something
have
happened
out
there
to
keep
her
away
?
Could
she
have
been
reached
by
his
wife
?
Surely
not
.
So
little
did
he
consider
Drouet
that
it
never
once
occurred
to
him
to
worry
about
his
finding
out
.
He
grew
restless
as
he
ruminated
,
and
then
decided
that
perhaps
it
was
nothing
.
She
had
not
been
able
to
get
away
this
morning
.
That
was
why
no
letter
notifying
him
had
come
.
He
would
get
one
to
-
day
.
It
would
probably
be
on
his
desk
when
he
got
back
.
He
would
look
for
it
at
once
.
After
a
time
he
gave
up
waiting
and
drearily
headed
for
the
Madison
car
.
To
add
to
his
distress
,
the
bright
blue
sky
became
overcast
with
little
fleecy
clouds
which
shut
out
the
sun
.
The
wind
veered
to
the
east
,
and
by
the
time
he
reached
his
office
it
was
threatening
to
drizzle
all
afternoon
.
