“
Wait
a
minute
,
”
said
Drouet
,
holding
her
back
in
the
showy
foyer
where
ladies
and
gentlemen
were
moving
in
a
social
crush
,
skirts
rustling
,
lace
-
covered
heads
nodding
,
white
teeth
showing
through
parted
lips
.
“
Let
’
s
see
.
”
“
Sixty
-
seven
,
”
the
coach
-
caller
was
saying
,
his
voice
lifted
in
a
sort
of
euphonious
cry
.
“
Sixty
-
seven
.
”
“
Isn
’
t
it
fine
?
”
said
Carrie
.
“
Great
,
”
said
Drouet
.
He
was
as
much
affected
by
this
show
of
finery
and
gayety
as
she
.
He
pressed
her
arm
warmly
.
Once
she
looked
up
,
her
even
teeth
glistening
through
her
smiling
lips
,
her
eyes
alight
.
As
they
were
moving
out
he
whispered
down
to
her
,
“
You
look
lovely
!
”
They
were
right
where
the
coach
-
caller
was
swinging
open
a
coach
-
door
and
ushering
in
two
ladies
.
“
You
stick
to
me
and
we
’
ll
have
a
coach
,
”
laughed
Drouet
.
Carrie
scarcely
heard
,
her
head
was
so
full
of
the
swirl
of
life
.
They
stopped
in
at
a
restaurant
for
a
little
after
-
theatre
lunch
.
Just
a
shade
of
a
thought
of
the
hour
entered
Carrie
’
s
head
,
but
there
was
no
household
law
to
govern
her
now
.
If
any
habits
ever
had
time
to
fix
upon
her
,
they
would
have
operated
here
.
Habits
are
peculiar
things
.
They
will
drive
the
really
non
-
religious
mind
out
of
bed
to
say
prayers
that
are
only
a
custom
and
not
a
devotion
.
The
victim
of
habit
,
when
he
has
neglected
the
thing
which
it
was
his
custom
to
do
,
feels
a
little
scratching
in
the
brain
,
a
little
irritating
something
which
comes
of
being
out
of
the
rut
,
and
imagines
it
to
be
the
prick
of
conscience
,
the
still
,
small
voice
that
is
urging
him
ever
to
righteousness
.
If
the
digression
is
unusual
enough
,
the
drag
of
habit
will
be
heavy
enough
to
cause
the
unreasoning
victim
to
return
and
perform
the
perfunctory
thing
.
“
Now
,
bless
me
,
”
says
such
a
mind
,
“
I
have
done
my
duty
,
”
when
,
as
a
matter
of
fact
,
it
has
merely
done
its
old
,
unbreakable
trick
once
again
.
Carrie
had
no
excellent
home
principles
fixed
upon
her
.
If
she
had
,
she
would
have
been
more
consciously
distressed
.
Now
the
lunch
went
off
with
considerable
warmth
.
Under
the
influence
of
the
varied
occurrences
,
the
fine
,
invisible
passion
which
was
emanating
from
Drouet
,
the
food
,
the
still
unusual
luxury
,
she
relaxed
and
heard
with
open
ears
.
She
was
again
the
victim
of
the
city
’
s
hypnotic
influence
.
“
Well
,
”
said
Drouet
at
last
,
“
we
had
better
be
going
.
”
They
had
been
dawdling
over
the
dishes
,
and
their
eyes
had
frequently
met
.
Carrie
could
not
help
but
feel
the
vibration
of
force
which
followed
,
which
,
indeed
,
was
his
gaze
.
He
had
a
way
of
touching
her
hand
in
explanation
,
as
if
to
impress
a
fact
upon
her
.
He
touched
it
now
as
he
spoke
of
going
.
