He
must
get
some
speedier
method
—
but
how
?
He
thought
upon
it
for
a
half
-
hour
,
not
contemplating
a
messenger
or
a
cab
direct
to
the
house
,
owing
to
the
exposure
of
it
,
but
finding
that
time
was
slipping
away
to
no
purpose
,
he
wrote
the
letter
and
then
began
to
think
again
.
The
hours
slipped
by
,
and
with
them
the
possibility
of
the
union
he
had
contemplated
.
He
had
thought
to
be
joyously
aiding
Carrie
by
now
in
the
task
of
joining
her
interests
to
his
,
and
here
it
was
afternoon
and
nothing
done
.
Three
o
’
clock
came
,
four
,
five
,
six
,
and
no
letter
.
The
helpless
manager
paced
the
floor
and
grimly
endured
the
gloom
of
defeat
.
He
saw
a
busy
Saturday
ushered
out
,
the
Sabbath
in
,
and
nothing
done
.
All
day
,
the
bar
being
closed
,
he
brooded
alone
,
shut
out
from
home
,
from
the
excitement
of
his
resort
,
from
Carrie
,
and
without
the
ability
to
alter
his
condition
one
iota
.
It
was
the
worst
Sunday
he
had
spent
in
his
life
.
In
Monday
’
s
second
mail
he
encountered
a
very
legal
-
looking
letter
,
which
held
his
interest
for
some
time
.
It
bore
the
imprint
of
the
law
offices
of
McGregor
,
James
and
Hay
,
and
with
a
very
formal
“
Dear
Sir
,
”
and
“
We
beg
to
state
,
”
went
on
to
inform
him
briefly
that
they
had
been
retained
by
Mrs
.
Julia
Hurstwood
to
adjust
certain
matters
which
related
to
her
sustenance
and
property
rights
,
and
would
he
kindly
call
and
see
them
about
the
matter
at
once
.
He
read
it
through
carefully
several
times
,
and
then
merely
shook
his
head
.
It
seemed
as
if
his
family
troubles
were
just
beginning
.
“
Well
!
”
he
said
after
a
time
,
quite
audibly
,
“
I
don
’
t
know
.
”
Then
he
folded
it
up
and
put
it
in
his
pocket
.
To
add
to
his
misery
there
was
no
word
from
Carrie
.
He
was
quite
certain
now
that
she
knew
he
was
married
and
was
angered
at
his
perfidy
.
His
loss
seemed
all
the
more
bitter
now
that
he
needed
her
most
.
He
thought
he
would
go
out
and
insist
on
seeing
her
if
she
did
not
send
him
word
of
some
sort
soon
.
He
was
really
affected
most
miserably
of
all
by
this
desertion
.
He
had
loved
her
earnestly
enough
,
but
now
that
the
possibility
of
losing
her
stared
him
in
the
face
she
seemed
much
more
attractive
.
He
really
pined
for
a
word
,
and
looked
out
upon
her
with
his
mind
’
s
eye
in
the
most
wistful
manner
.
He
did
not
propose
to
lose
her
,
whatever
she
might
think
.
Come
what
might
,
he
would
adjust
this
matter
,
and
soon
.
He
would
go
to
her
and
tell
her
all
his
family
complications
.
He
would
explain
to
her
just
where
he
stood
and
how
much
he
needed
her
.
Surely
she
couldn
’
t
go
back
on
him
now
?
It
wasn
’
t
possible
.
He
would
plead
until
her
anger
would
melt
—
until
she
would
forgive
him
.
Suddenly
he
thought
:
“
Supposing
she
isn
’
t
out
there
—
suppose
she
has
gone
?
”
He
was
forced
to
take
his
feet
.
It
was
too
much
to
think
of
and
sit
still
.
