He
only
offered
a
third
interest
in
the
stock
,
fixtures
,
and
good
-
will
,
and
this
in
return
for
a
thousand
dollars
and
managerial
ability
on
the
part
of
the
one
who
should
come
in
.
There
was
no
property
involved
,
because
the
owner
of
the
saloon
merely
rented
from
an
estate
.
The
offer
was
genuine
enough
,
but
it
was
a
question
with
Hurstwood
whether
a
third
interest
in
that
locality
could
be
made
to
yield
one
hundred
and
fifty
dollars
a
month
,
which
he
figured
he
must
have
in
order
to
meet
the
ordinary
family
expenses
and
be
comfortable
.
It
was
not
the
time
,
however
,
after
many
failures
to
find
what
he
wanted
,
to
hesitate
.
It
looked
as
though
a
third
would
pay
a
hundred
a
month
now
.
By
judicious
management
and
improvement
,
it
might
be
made
to
pay
more
.
Accordingly
he
agreed
to
enter
into
partnership
,
and
made
over
his
thousand
dollars
,
preparing
to
enter
the
next
day
.
His
first
inclination
was
to
be
elated
,
and
he
confided
to
Carrie
that
he
thought
he
had
made
an
excellent
arrangement
.
Time
,
however
,
introduced
food
for
reflection
.
He
found
his
partner
to
be
very
disagreeable
.
Frequently
he
was
the
worse
for
liquor
,
which
made
him
surly
.
This
was
the
last
thing
which
Hurstwood
was
used
to
in
business
.
Besides
,
the
business
varied
.
It
was
nothing
like
the
class
of
patronage
which
he
had
enjoyed
in
Chicago
.
He
found
that
it
would
take
a
long
time
to
make
friends
.
These
people
hurried
in
and
out
without
seeking
the
pleasures
of
friendship
.
It
was
no
gathering
or
lounging
place
.
Whole
days
and
weeks
passed
without
one
such
hearty
greeting
as
he
had
been
wont
to
enjoy
every
day
in
Chicago
.
For
another
thing
,
Hurstwood
missed
the
celebrities
—
those
well
-
dressed
,
élite
individuals
who
lend
grace
to
the
average
bars
and
bring
news
from
far
-
off
and
exclusive
circles
.
He
did
not
see
one
such
in
a
month
.
Evenings
,
when
still
at
his
post
,
he
would
occasionally
read
in
the
evening
papers
incidents
concerning
celebrities
whom
he
knew
—
whom
he
had
drunk
a
glass
with
many
a
time
.
They
would
visit
a
bar
like
Fitzgerald
and
Moy
’
s
in
Chicago
,
or
the
Hoffman
House
,
uptown
,
but
he
knew
that
he
would
never
see
them
down
here
.
Again
,
the
business
did
not
pay
as
well
as
he
thought
.
It
increased
a
little
,
but
he
found
he
would
have
to
watch
his
household
expenses
,
which
was
humiliating
.
In
the
very
beginning
it
was
a
delight
to
go
home
late
at
night
,
as
he
did
,
and
find
Carrie
.
He
managed
to
run
up
and
take
dinner
with
her
between
six
and
seven
,
and
to
remain
home
until
nine
o
’
clock
in
the
morning
,
but
the
novelty
of
this
waned
after
a
time
,
and
he
began
to
feel
the
drag
of
his
duties
.
The
first
month
had
scarcely
passed
before
Carrie
said
in
a
very
natural
way
:
“
I
think
I
’
ll
go
down
this
week
and
buy
a
dress
.
’
“
What
kind
?
”
said
Hurstwood
.
“
Oh
,
something
for
street
wear
.
”
“
All
right
,
”
he
answered
,
smiling
,
although
he
noted
mentally
that
it
would
be
more
agreeable
to
his
finances
if
she
didn
’
t
.
Nothing
was
said
about
it
the
next
day
,
but
the
following
morning
he
asked
:
