“
Well
,
it
does
seem
as
if
most
people
in
this
town
haven
’
t
been
here
so
very
long
.
I
hear
of
lots
of
Indiana
people
in
my
line
who
are
here
.
”
“
What
is
your
line
?
”
asked
Carrie
.
“
I
’
m
connected
with
an
electrical
company
,
”
said
the
youth
.
Carrie
followed
up
this
desultory
conversation
with
occasional
interruptions
from
the
Vances
.
Several
times
it
became
general
and
partially
humorous
,
and
in
that
manner
the
restaurant
was
reached
.
Carrie
had
noticed
the
appearance
of
gayety
and
pleasure
-
seeking
in
the
streets
which
they
were
following
.
Coaches
were
numerous
,
pedestrians
many
,
and
in
Fifty
-
ninth
Street
the
street
cars
were
crowded
.
At
Fifty
-
ninth
Street
and
Fifth
Avenue
a
blaze
of
lights
from
several
new
hotels
which
bordered
the
Plaza
Square
gave
a
suggestion
of
sumptuous
hotel
life
.
Fifth
Avenue
,
the
home
of
the
wealthy
,
was
noticeably
crowded
with
carriages
,
and
gentlemen
in
evening
dress
.
At
Sherry
’
s
an
imposing
doorman
opened
the
coach
door
and
helped
them
out
.
Young
Ames
held
Carrie
’
s
elbow
as
he
helped
her
up
the
steps
.
They
entered
the
lobby
already
swarming
with
patrons
,
and
then
,
after
divesting
themselves
of
their
wraps
,
went
into
a
sumptuous
dining
-
room
.
In
all
Carrie
’
s
experience
she
had
never
seen
anything
like
this
.
In
the
whole
time
she
had
been
in
New
York
Hurstwood
’
s
modified
state
had
not
permitted
his
bringing
her
to
such
a
place
.
There
was
an
almost
indescribable
atmosphere
about
it
which
convinced
the
newcomer
that
this
was
the
proper
thing
.
Here
was
the
place
where
the
matter
of
expense
limited
the
patrons
to
the
moneyed
or
pleasure
-
loving
class
.
Carrie
had
read
of
it
often
in
the
“
Morning
”
and
“
Evening
World
.
”
She
had
seen
notices
of
dances
,
parties
,
balls
,
and
suppers
at
Sherry
’
s
.
The
Misses
So
-
and
-
so
would
give
a
party
on
Wednesday
evening
at
Sherry
’
s
.
Young
Mr
.
So
-
and
-
so
would
entertain
a
party
of
friends
at
a
private
luncheon
on
the
sixteenth
,
at
Sherry
’
s
.
The
common
run
of
conventional
,
perfunctory
notices
of
the
doings
of
society
,
which
she
could
scarcely
refrain
from
scanning
each
day
,
had
given
her
a
distinct
idea
of
the
gorgeousness
and
luxury
of
this
wonderful
temple
of
gastronomy
.
Now
,
at
last
,
she
was
really
in
it
.
She
had
come
up
the
imposing
steps
,
guarded
by
the
large
and
portly
doorman
.
She
had
seen
the
lobby
,
guarded
by
another
large
and
portly
gentleman
,
and
been
waited
upon
by
uniformed
youths
who
took
care
of
canes
,
overcoats
,
and
the
like
.
Here
was
the
splendid
dining
-
chamber
,
all
decorated
and
aglow
,
where
the
wealthy
ate
.
Ah
,
how
fortunate
was
Mrs
.
Vance
;
young
,
beautiful
,
and
well
off
—
at
least
,
sufficiently
so
to
come
here
in
a
coach
.
What
a
wonderful
thing
it
was
to
be
rich
.
Vance
led
the
way
through
lanes
of
shining
tables
,
at
which
were
seated
parties
of
two
,
three
,
four
,
five
,
or
six
.
The
air
of
assurance
and
dignity
about
it
all
was
exceedingly
noticeable
to
the
novitiate
.
Incandescent
lights
,
the
reflection
of
their
glow
in
polished
glasses
,
and
the
shine
of
gilt
upon
the
walls
,
combined
into
one
tone
of
light
which
it
requires
minutes
of
complacent
observation
to
separate
and
take
particular
note
of
.
The
white
shirt
fronts
of
the
gentlemen
,
the
bright
costumes
of
the
ladies
,
diamonds
,
jewels
,
fine
feathers
—
all
were
exceedingly
noticeable
.
Carrie
walked
with
an
air
equal
to
that
of
Mrs
.
Vance
,
and
accepted
the
seat
which
the
head
waiter
provided
for
her
.
She
was
keenly
aware
of
all
the
little
things
that
were
done
—
the
little
genuflections
and
attentions
of
the
waiters
and
head
waiter
which
Americans
pay
for
.
The
air
with
which
the
latter
pulled
out
each
chair
,
and
the
wave
of
the
hand
with
which
he
motioned
them
to
be
seated
,
were
worth
several
dollars
in
themselves
.
