The
ex
-
manager
laid
hand
to
the
lever
and
pushed
it
gently
,
as
he
thought
.
It
worked
much
easier
than
he
imagined
,
however
,
with
the
result
that
the
car
jerked
quickly
forward
,
throwing
him
back
against
the
door
.
He
straightened
up
sheepishly
,
while
the
instructor
stopped
the
car
with
the
brake
.
“
You
want
to
be
careful
about
that
,
”
was
all
he
said
.
Hurstwood
found
,
however
,
that
handling
a
brake
and
regulating
speed
were
not
so
instantly
mastered
as
he
had
imagined
.
Once
or
twice
he
would
have
ploughed
through
the
rear
fence
if
it
had
not
been
for
the
hand
and
word
of
his
companion
.
The
latter
was
rather
patient
with
him
,
but
he
never
smiled
.
“
You
’
ve
got
to
get
the
knack
of
working
both
arms
at
once
,
”
he
said
.
“
It
takes
a
little
practice
.
”
One
o
’
clock
came
while
he
was
still
on
the
car
practising
,
and
he
began
to
feel
hungry
.
The
day
set
in
snowing
,
and
he
was
cold
.
He
grew
weary
of
running
to
and
fro
on
the
short
track
.
They
ran
the
car
to
the
end
and
both
got
off
.
Hurstwood
went
into
the
barn
and
sought
a
car
step
,
pulling
out
his
paper
-
wrapped
lunch
from
his
pocket
.
There
was
no
water
and
the
bread
was
dry
,
but
he
enjoyed
it
.
There
was
no
ceremony
about
dining
.
He
swallowed
and
looked
about
,
contemplating
the
dull
,
homely
labour
of
the
thing
.
It
was
disagreeable
—
miserably
disagreeable
—
in
all
its
phases
.
Not
because
it
was
bitter
,
but
because
it
was
hard
.
It
would
be
hard
to
any
one
,
he
thought
.
After
eating
,
he
stood
about
as
before
,
waiting
until
his
turn
came
.
The
intention
was
to
give
him
an
afternoon
of
practice
,
but
the
greater
part
of
the
time
was
spent
in
waiting
about
.
At
last
evening
came
,
and
with
it
hunger
and
a
debate
with
himself
as
to
how
he
should
spend
the
night
.
It
was
half
-
past
five
.
He
must
soon
eat
.
If
he
tried
to
go
home
,
it
would
take
him
two
hours
and
a
half
of
cold
walking
and
riding
.
Besides
he
had
orders
to
report
at
seven
the
next
morning
,
and
going
home
would
necessitate
his
rising
at
an
unholy
and
disagreeable
hour
.
He
had
only
something
like
a
dollar
and
fifteen
cents
of
Carrie
’
s
money
,
with
which
he
had
intended
to
pay
the
two
weeks
’
coal
bill
before
the
present
idea
struck
him
.
“
They
must
have
some
place
around
here
,
”
he
thought
.
“
Where
does
that
fellow
from
Newark
stay
?
”
