“
I
can
’
t
do
this
way
,
”
he
said
to
himself
.
“
There
’
s
no
use
of
my
starting
out
mornings
without
first
thinking
up
some
place
to
go
.
I
’
ll
think
of
some
places
and
then
look
them
up
.
”
It
occurred
to
him
that
the
positions
of
bartenders
were
sometimes
open
,
but
he
put
this
out
of
his
mind
.
Bartender
—
he
,
the
ex
-
manager
!
It
grew
awfully
dull
sitting
in
the
hotel
lobby
,
and
so
at
four
he
went
home
.
He
tried
to
put
on
a
business
air
as
he
went
in
,
but
it
was
a
feeble
imitation
.
The
rocking
chair
in
the
dining
-
room
was
comfortable
.
He
sank
into
it
gladly
,
with
several
papers
he
had
bought
,
and
began
to
read
.
As
she
was
going
through
the
room
to
begin
preparing
dinner
,
Carrie
said
:
“
The
man
was
here
for
the
rent
to
-
day
.
”
“
Oh
,
was
he
?
”
said
Hurstwood
.
The
least
wrinkle
crept
into
his
brow
as
he
remembered
that
this
was
February
2d
,
the
time
the
man
always
called
.
He
fished
down
in
his
pocket
for
his
purse
,
getting
the
first
taste
of
paying
out
when
nothing
is
coming
in
.
He
looked
at
the
fat
,
green
roll
as
a
sick
man
looks
at
the
one
possible
saving
cure
.
Then
he
counted
off
twenty
-
eight
dollars
.
“
Here
you
are
,
”
he
said
to
Carrie
,
when
she
came
through
again
He
buried
himself
in
his
papers
and
read
.
Oh
,
the
rest
of
it
—
the
relief
from
walking
and
thinking
!
What
Lethean
waters
were
these
floods
of
telegraphed
intelligence
!
He
forgot
his
troubles
,
in
part
.
Here
was
a
young
,
handsome
woman
,
if
you
might
believe
the
newspaper
drawing
,
suing
a
rich
,
fat
,
candy
-
making
husband
in
Brooklyn
for
divorce
.
Here
was
another
item
detailing
the
wrecking
of
a
vessel
in
ice
and
snow
off
Prince
’
s
Bay
on
Staten
Island
.
A
long
,
bright
column
told
of
the
doings
in
the
theatrical
world
—
the
plays
produced
,
the
actors
appearing
,
the
managers
making
announcements
.
Fannie
Davenport
was
just
opening
at
the
Fifth
Avenue
.
Daly
was
producing
“
King
Lear
.
”
He
read
of
the
early
departure
for
the
season
of
a
party
composed
of
the
Vanderbilts
and
their
friends
for
Florida
.
An
interesting
shooting
affray
was
on
in
the
mountains
of
Kentucky
.
So
he
read
,
read
,
read
,
rocking
in
the
warm
room
near
the
radiator
and
waiting
for
dinner
to
be
served
.
The
next
morning
he
looked
over
the
papers
and
waded
through
a
long
list
of
advertisements
,
making
a
few
notes
.
Then
he
turned
to
the
male
-
help
-
wanted
column
,
but
with
disagreeable
feelings
.
The
day
was
before
him
—
a
long
day
in
which
to
discover
something
—
and
this
was
how
he
must
begin
to
discover
.
He
scanned
the
long
column
,
which
mostly
concerned
bakers
,
bushelmen
,
cooks
,
compositors
,
drivers
,
and
the
like
,
finding
two
things
only
which
arrested
his
eye
.
One
was
a
cashier
wanted
in
a
wholesale
furniture
house
,
and
the
other
a
salesman
for
a
whiskey
house
.
He
had
never
thought
of
the
latter
.
At
once
he
decided
to
look
that
up
.
