When
she
went
into
her
own
flat
she
had
this
to
think
about
.
She
did
not
know
whether
she
would
ever
see
this
man
any
more
.
What
difference
could
it
make
—
what
difference
could
it
make
?
Hurstwood
had
returned
,
and
was
already
in
bed
.
His
clothes
were
scattered
loosely
about
.
Carrie
came
to
the
door
and
saw
him
,
then
retreated
.
She
did
not
want
to
go
in
yet
a
while
.
She
wanted
to
think
.
It
was
disagreeable
to
her
.
Back
in
the
dining
-
room
she
sat
in
her
chair
and
rocked
.
Her
little
hands
were
folded
tightly
as
she
thought
.
Through
a
fog
of
longing
and
conflicting
desires
she
was
beginning
to
see

Oh
,
ye
legions
of
hope
and
pity
—
of
sorrow
and
pain
!
She
was
rocking
,
and
beginning
to
see
.
The
immediate
result
of
this
was
nothing
.
Results
from
such
things
are
usually
long
in
growing
.
Morning
brings
a
change
of
feeling
.
The
existent
condition
invariably
pleads
for
itself
.
It
is
only
at
odd
moments
that
we
get
glimpses
of
the
misery
of
things
.
The
heart
understands
when
it
is
confronted
with
contrasts
.
Take
them
away
and
the
ache
subsides
.
Carrie
went
on
,
leading
much
this
same
life
for
six
months
thereafter
or
more
.
She
did
not
see
Ames
any
more
.
He
called
once
upon
the
Vances
,
but
she
only
heard
about
it
through
the
young
wife
.
Then
he
went
West
,
and
there
was
a
gradual
subsidence
of
whatever
personal
attraction
had
existed
.
The
mental
effect
of
the
thing
had
not
gone
,
however
,
and
never
would
entirely
.
She
had
an
ideal
to
contrast
men
by
—
particularly
men
close
to
her
.
During
all
this
time
—
a
period
rapidly
approaching
three
years
—
Hurstwood
had
been
moving
along
in
an
even
path
.
There
was
no
apparent
slope
downward
,
and
distinctly
none
upward
,
so
far
as
the
casual
observer
might
have
seen
.
But
psychologically
there
was
a
change
,
which
was
marked
enough
to
suggest
the
future
very
distinctly
indeed
.
This
was
in
the
mere
matter
of
the
halt
his
career
had
received
when
he
departed
from
Chicago
.
A
man
’
s
fortune
or
material
progress
is
very
much
the
same
as
his
bodily
growth
.
Either
he
is
growing
stronger
,
healthier
,
wiser
,
as
the
youth
approaching
manhood
,
or
he
is
growing
weaker
,
older
,
less
incisive
mentally
,
as
the
man
approaching
old
age
.
There
are
no
other
states
.

Frequently
there
is
a
period
between
the
cessation
of
youthful
accretion
and
the
setting
in
,
in
the
case
of
the
middle
-
aged
man
,
of
the
tendency
toward
decay
when
the
two
processes
are
almost
perfectly
balanced
and
there
is
little
doing
in
either
direction
.
Given
time
enough
,
however
,
the
balance
becomes
a
sagging
to
the
grave
side
.
Slowly
at
first
,
then
with
a
modest
momentum
,
and
at
last
the
graveward
process
is
in
the
full
swing
.
So
it
is
frequently
with
man
’
s
fortune
.
If
its
process
of
accretion
is
never
halted
,
if
the
balancing
stage
is
never
reached
,
there
will
be
no
toppling
.
Rich
men
are
,
frequently
,
in
these
days
,
saved
from
this
dissolution
of
their
fortune
by
their
ability
to
hire
younger
brains
.
These
younger
brains
look
upon
the
interests
of
the
fortune
as
their
own
,
and
so
steady
and
direct
its
progress
.
If
each
individual
were
left
absolutely
to
the
care
of
his
own
interests
,
and
were
given
time
enough
in
which
to
grow
exceedingly
old
,
his
fortune
would
pass
as
his
strength
and
will
.
He
and
his
would
be
utterly
dissolved
and
scattered
unto
the
four
winds
of
the
heavens
.
But
now
see
wherein
the
parallel
changes
.
A
fortune
,
like
a
man
,
is
an
organism
which
draws
to
itself
other
minds
and
other
strength
than
that
inherent
in
the
founder
.
Beside
the
young
minds
drawn
to
it
by
salaries
,
it
becomes
allied
with
young
forces
,
which
make
for
its
existence
even
when
the
strength
and
wisdom
of
the
founder
are
fading
.
It
may
be
conserved
by
the
growth
of
a
community
or
of
a
state
.
It
may
be
involved
in
providing
something
for
which
there
is
a
growing
demand
.
This
removes
it
at
once
beyond
the
special
care
of
the
founder
.
It
needs
not
so
much
foresight
now
as
direction
.
The
man
wanes
,
the
need
continues
or
grows
,
and
the
fortune
,
fallen
into
whose
hands
it
may
,
continues
.
Hence
,
some
men
never
recognise
the
turning
in
the
tide
of
their
abilities
.
It
is
only
in
chance
cases
,
where
a
fortune
or
a
state
of
success
is
wrested
from
them
,
that
the
lack
of
ability
to
do
as
they
did
formerly
becomes
apparent
.
Hurstwood
,
set
down
under
new
conditions
,
was
in
a
position
to
see
that
he
was
no
longer
young
.
If
he
did
not
,
it
was
due
wholly
to
the
fact
that
his
state
was
so
well
balanced
that
an
absolute
change
for
the
worse
did
not
show
.
