Hurstwood
looked
,
but
there
was
no
face
there
now
.
He
climbed
moodily
into
the
cab
,
relieved
and
distressed
.
So
this
was
the
game
,
was
it
?
Shut
him
out
and
make
him
pay
.
Well
,
by
the
Lord
,
that
did
beat
all
!
When
Hurstwood
got
back
to
his
office
again
he
was
in
a
greater
quandary
than
ever
.
Lord
,
Lord
,
he
thought
,
what
had
he
got
into
?
How
could
things
have
taken
such
a
violent
turn
,
and
so
quickly
?
He
could
hardly
realise
how
it
had
all
come
about
.
It
seemed
a
monstrous
,
unnatural
,
unwarranted
condition
which
had
suddenly
descended
upon
him
without
his
let
or
hindrance
.

Meanwhile
he
gave
a
thought
now
and
then
to
Carrie
.
What
could
be
the
trouble
in
that
quarter
?
No
letter
had
come
,
no
word
of
any
kind
,
and
yet
here
it
was
late
in
the
evening
and
she
had
agreed
to
meet
him
that
morning
.
To
-
morrow
they
were
to
have
met
and
gone
off
—
where
?
He
saw
that
in
the
excitement
of
recent
events
he
had
not
formulated
a
plan
upon
that
score
.
He
was
desperately
in
love
,
and
would
have
taken
great
chances
to
win
her
under
ordinary
circumstances
,
but
now
—
now
what
?
Supposing
she
had
found
out
something
?
Supposing
she
,
too
,
wrote
him
and
told
him
that
she
knew
all
—
that
she
would
have
nothing
more
to
do
with
him
?
It
would
be
just
like
this
to
happen
as
things
were
going
now
.
Meanwhile
he
had
not
sent
the
money
.
He
strolled
up
and
down
the
polished
floor
of
the
resort
,
his
hands
in
his
pockets
,
his
brow
wrinkled
,
his
mouth
set
.
He
was
getting
some
vague
comfort
out
of
a
good
cigar
,
but
it
was
no
panacea
for
the
ill
which
affected
him
.
Every
once
in
a
while
he
would
clinch
his
fingers
and
tap
his
foot
—
signs
of
the
stirring
mental
process
he
was
undergoing
.
His
whole
nature
was
vigorously
and
powerfully
shaken
up
,
and
he
was
finding
what
limits
the
mind
has
to
endurance
.
He
drank
more
brandy
and
soda
than
he
had
any
evening
in
months
.
He
was
altogether
a
fine
example
of
great
mental
perturbation
.
For
all
his
study
nothing
came
of
the
evening
except
this
—
he
sent
the
money
.
It
was
with
great
opposition
,
after
two
or
three
hours
of
the
most
urgent
mental
affirmation
and
denial
,
that
at
last
he
got
an
envelope
,
placed
in
it
the
requested
amount
,
and
slowly
sealed
it
up
.

Then
he
called
Harry
,
the
boy
of
all
work
around
the
place
.
“
You
take
this
to
this
address
,
”
he
said
,
handing
him
the
envelope
,
“
and
give
it
to
Mrs
.
Hurstwood
.
”
“
Yes
,
sir
,
”
said
the
boy
.
