You
would
n't
love
me
long
if
I
did
n't
put
pretty
clothes
first
,
"
she
replied
,
spiritedly
.
"
Oh
,
I
'm
so
glad
to
get
you
back
!
"
"
The
trouble
is
,
"
he
went
on
,
"
that
that
country
up
there
is
n't
as
promising
as
Chicago
.
I
think
we
're
destined
to
live
in
Chicago
.
I
made
an
investment
in
Fargo
,
and
we
'll
have
to
go
up
there
from
time
to
time
,
but
we
'll
eventually
locate
in
Chicago
.
I
do
n't
want
to
go
out
there
alone
again
.
It
is
n't
pleasant
for
me
.
"
He
squeezed
her
hand
.
"
If
we
ca
n't
arrange
this
thing
at
once
I
'll
just
have
to
introduce
you
as
my
wife
for
the
present
.
"
"
You
have
n't
heard
anything
more
from
Mr.
Steger
?
"
she
put
in
.
She
was
thinking
of
Steger
's
efforts
to
get
Mrs.
Cowperwood
to
grant
him
a
divorce
.
"
Not
a
word
.
"
"
Is
n't
it
too
bad
?
"
she
sighed
.
"
Well
,
do
n't
grieve
.
Things
might
be
worse
.
"
He
was
thinking
of
his
days
in
the
penitentiary
,
and
so
was
she
.
After
commenting
on
the
character
of
Chicago
he
decided
with
her
that
so
soon
as
conditions
permitted
they
would
remove
themselves
to
the
Western
city
.
It
would
be
pointless
to
do
more
than
roughly
sketch
the
period
of
three
years
during
which
the
various
changes
which
saw
the
complete
elimination
of
Cowperwood
from
Philadelphia
and
his
introduction
into
Chicago
took
place
.
For
a
time
there
were
merely
journeys
to
and
fro
,
at
first
more
especially
to
Chicago
,
then
to
Fargo
,
where
his
transported
secretary
,
Walter
Whelpley
,
was
managing
under
his
direction
the
construction
of
Fargo
business
blocks
,
a
short
street-car
line
,
and
a
fair-ground
.
This
interesting
venture
bore
the
title
of
the
Fargo
Construction
and
Transportation
Company
,
of
which
Frank
A.
Cowperwood
was
president
.
His
Philadelphia
lawyer
,
Mr.
Harper
Steger
,
was
for
the
time
being
general
master
of
contracts
.
For
another
short
period
he
might
have
been
found
living
at
the
Tremont
in
Chicago
,
avoiding
for
the
time
being
,
because
of
Aileen
's
company
,
anything
more
than
a
nodding
contact
with
the
important
men
he
had
first
met
,
while
he
looked
quietly
into
the
matter
of
a
Chicago
brokerage
arrangement
--
a
partnership
with
some
established
broker
who
,
without
too
much
personal
ambition
,
would
bring
him
a
knowledge
of
Chicago
Stock
Exchange
affairs
,
personages
,
and
Chicago
ventures
.
On
one
occasion
he
took
Aileen
with
him
to
Fargo
,
where
with
a
haughty
,
bored
insouciance
she
surveyed
the
state
of
the
growing
city
.
