It
was
thrown
so
straight
in
her
direction
that
she
knew
who
was
meant
,
but
never
turned
to
look
.
In
the
crowded
elevator
,
another
dusty
,
toil
-
stained
youth
tried
to
make
an
impression
on
her
by
leering
in
her
face
.
One
young
man
,
waiting
on
the
walk
outside
for
the
appearance
of
another
,
grinned
at
her
as
she
passed
.
“
Ain
’
t
going
my
way
,
are
you
?
”
he
called
jocosely
.
Carrie
turned
her
face
to
the
west
with
a
subdued
heart
.
As
she
turned
the
corner
,
she
saw
through
the
great
shiny
window
the
small
desk
at
which
she
had
applied
.
There
were
the
crowds
,
hurrying
with
the
same
buzz
and
energy
-
yielding
enthusiasm
.
She
felt
a
slight
relief
,
but
it
was
only
at
her
escape
.
She
felt
ashamed
in
the
face
of
better
dressed
girls
who
went
by
.
She
felt
as
though
she
should
be
better
served
,
and
her
heart
revolted
.
Drouet
did
not
call
that
evening
.
After
receiving
the
letter
,
he
had
laid
aside
all
thought
of
Carrie
for
the
time
being
and
was
floating
around
having
what
he
considered
a
gay
time
.
On
this
particular
evening
he
dined
at
“
Rector
’
s
,
”
a
restaurant
of
some
local
fame
,
which
occupied
a
basement
at
Clark
and
Monroe
Streets
.
There
—
after
he
visited
the
resort
of
Fitzgerald
and
Moy
’
s
in
Adams
Street
,
opposite
the
imposing
Federal
Building
.
There
he
leaned
over
the
splendid
bar
and
swallowed
a
glass
of
plain
whiskey
and
purchased
a
couple
of
cigars
,
one
of
which
he
lighted
.
This
to
him
represented
in
part
high
life
—
a
fair
sample
of
what
the
whole
must
be
.
Drouet
was
not
a
drinker
in
excess
.
He
was
not
a
moneyed
man
.
He
only
craved
the
best
,
as
his
mind
conceived
it
,
and
such
doings
seemed
to
him
a
part
of
the
best
.
Rector
’
s
,
with
its
polished
marble
walls
and
floor
,
its
profusion
of
lights
,
its
show
of
china
and
silverware
,
and
,
above
all
,
its
reputation
as
a
resort
for
actors
and
professional
men
,
seemed
to
him
the
proper
place
for
a
successful
man
to
go
.
He
loved
fine
clothes
,
good
eating
,
and
particularly
the
company
and
acquaintanceship
of
successful
men
.
When
dining
,
it
was
a
source
of
keen
satisfaction
to
him
to
know
that
Joseph
Jefferson
was
wont
to
come
to
this
same
place
,
or
that
Henry
E
.
Dixie
,
a
well
-
known
performer
of
the
day
,
was
then
only
a
few
tables
off
.
At
Rector
’
s
he
could
always
obtain
this
satisfaction
,
for
there
one
could
encounter
politicians
,
brokers
,
actors
,
some
rich
young
“
rounders
”
of
the
town
,
all
eating
and
drinking
amid
a
buzz
of
popular
commonplace
conversation
.
“
That
’
s
So
-
and
-
so
over
there
,
”
was
a
common
remark
of
these
gentlemen
among
themselves
,
particularly
among
those
who
had
not
yet
reached
,
but
hoped
to
do
so
,
the
dazzling
height
which
money
to
dine
here
lavishly
represented
.
“
You
don
’
t
say
so
,
”
would
be
the
reply
.
“
Why
,
yes
,
didn
’
t
you
know
that
?
Why
,
he
’
s
manager
of
the
Grand
Opera
House
.
”
When
these
things
would
fall
upon
Drouet
’
s
ears
,
he
would
straighten
himself
a
little
more
stiffly
and
eat
with
solid
comfort
.
If
he
had
any
vanity
,
this
augmented
it
,
and
if
he
had
any
ambition
,
this
stirred
it
.
He
would
be
able
to
flash
a
roll
of
greenbacks
too
some
day
.
As
it
was
,
he
could
eat
where
they
did
.
