He
took
out
the
drawer
again
and
lifted
the
bills
.
They
were
so
smooth
,
so
compact
,
so
portable
.
How
little
they
made
,
after
all
.
He
decided
he
would
take
them
.
Yes
,
he
would
.
He
would
put
them
in
his
pocket
.
Then
he
looked
at
that
and
saw
they
would
not
go
there
.
His
hand
satchel
!
To
be
sure
,
his
hand
satchel
.
They
would
go
in
that
—
all
of
it
would
.
No
one
would
think
anything
of
it
either
.
He
went
into
the
little
office
and
took
it
from
the
shelf
in
the
corner
.
Now
he
set
it
upon
his
desk
and
went
out
toward
the
safe
.
For
some
reason
he
did
not
want
to
fill
it
out
in
the
big
room
.
First
he
brought
the
bills
and
then
the
loose
receipts
of
the
day
.
He
would
take
it
all
.
He
put
the
empty
drawers
back
and
pushed
the
iron
door
almost
to
,
then
stood
beside
it
meditating
.
The
wavering
of
a
mind
under
such
circumstances
is
an
almost
inexplicable
thing
,
and
yet
it
is
absolutely
true
.
Hurstwood
could
not
bring
himself
to
act
definitely
.
He
wanted
to
think
about
it
—
to
ponder
over
it
,
to
decide
whether
it
were
best
.
He
was
drawn
by
such
a
keen
desire
for
Carrie
,
driven
by
such
a
state
of
turmoil
in
his
own
affairs
that
he
thought
constantly
it
would
be
best
,
and
yet
he
wavered
.
He
did
not
know
what
evil
might
result
from
it
to
him
—
how
soon
he
might
come
to
grief
.
The
true
ethics
of
the
situation
never
once
occurred
to
him
,
and
never
would
have
,
under
any
circumstances
.

After
he
had
all
the
money
in
the
handbag
,
a
revulsion
of
feeling
seized
him
.
He
would
not
do
it
—
no
!
Think
of
what
a
scandal
it
would
make
.
The
police
!
They
would
be
after
him
.
He
would
have
to
fly
,
and
where
?
Oh
,
the
terror
of
being
a
fugitive
from
justice
!
He
took
out
the
two
boxes
and
put
all
the
money
back
.
In
his
excitement
he
forgot
what
he
was
doing
,
and
put
the
sums
in
the
wrong
boxes
.
As
he
pushed
the
door
to
,
he
thought
he
remembered
doing
it
wrong
and
opened
the
door
again
.
There
were
the
two
boxes
mixed
.
He
took
them
out
and
straightened
the
matter
,
but
now
the
terror
had
gone
.
Why
be
afraid
?
While
the
money
was
in
his
hand
the
lock
clicked
.
It
had
sprung
!
Did
he
do
it
?
He
grabbed
at
the
knob
and
pulled
vigorously
.
It
had
closed
.
Heavens
!
he
was
in
for
it
now
,
sure
enough
.

The
moment
he
realised
that
the
safe
was
locked
for
a
surety
,
the
sweat
burst
out
upon
his
brow
and
he
trembled
violently
.
He
looked
about
him
and
decided
instantly
.
There
was
no
delaying
now
.
“
Supposing
I
do
lay
it
on
the
top
,
”
he
said
,
“
and
go
away
,
they
’
ll
know
who
took
it
.
I
’
m
the
last
to
close
up
.
Besides
,
other
things
will
happen
.
”
At
once
he
became
the
man
of
action
.
