He
went
in
and
examined
his
letters
,
but
there
was
nothing
from
Carrie
.
Fortunately
,
there
was
nothing
from
his
wife
either
.
He
thanked
his
stars
that
he
did
not
have
to
confront
that
proposition
just
now
when
he
needed
to
think
so
much
.
He
walked
the
floor
again
,
pretending
to
be
in
an
ordinary
mood
,
but
secretly
troubled
beyond
the
expression
of
words
.
At
one
-
thirty
he
went
to
Rector
’
s
for
lunch
,
and
when
he
returned
a
messenger
was
waiting
for
him
.
He
looked
at
the
little
chap
with
a
feeling
of
doubt
.

“
I
’
m
to
bring
an
answer
,
”
said
the
boy
.
Hurstwood
recognised
his
wife
’
s
writing
.
He
tore
it
open
and
read
without
a
show
of
feeling
.
It
began
in
the
most
formal
manner
and
was
sharply
and
coldly
worded
throughout
.
“
I
want
you
to
send
the
money
I
asked
for
at
once
.
I
need
it
to
carry
out
my
plans
.
You
can
stay
away
if
you
want
to
.
It
doesn
’
t
matter
in
the
least
.
But
I
must
have
some
money
.
So
don
’
t
delay
,
but
send
it
by
the
boy
.
”
When
he
had
finished
it
,
he
stood
holding
it
in
his
hands
.
The
audacity
of
the
thing
took
his
breath
.
It
roused
his
ire
also
—
the
deepest
element
of
revolt
in
him
.
His
first
impulse
was
to
write
but
four
words
in
reply
—
“
Go
to
the
devil
!
”
—
but
he
compromised
by
telling
the
boy
that
there
would
be
no
reply
.
Then
he
sat
down
in
his
chair
and
gazed
without
seeing
,
contemplating
the
result
of
his
work
.
What
would
she
do
about
that
?
The
confounded
wretch
!
Was
she
going
to
try
to
bulldoze
him
into
submission
?
He
would
go
up
there
and
have
it
out
with
her
,
that
’
s
what
he
would
do
.
She
was
carrying
things
with
too
high
a
hand
.
These
were
his
first
thoughts
.

Later
,
however
,
his
old
discretion
asserted
itself
.
Something
had
to
be
done
.
A
climax
was
near
and
she
would
not
sit
idle
.
He
knew
her
well
enough
to
know
that
when
she
had
decided
upon
a
plan
she
would
follow
it
up
.
Possibly
matters
would
go
into
a
lawyer
’
s
hands
at
once
.
“
Damn
her
!
”
he
said
softly
,
with
his
teeth
firmly
set
,
“
I
’
ll
make
it
hot
for
her
if
she
causes
me
trouble
.
I
’
ll
make
her
change
her
tone
if
I
have
to
use
force
to
do
it
!
