“
That
is
it
,
”
he
said
,
his
voice
dropping
to
a
soft
minor
,
“
I
know
too
much
of
the
world
.
”
It
was
an
important
thing
to
her
to
hear
one
so
well
-
positioned
and
powerful
speaking
in
this
manner
.
She
could
not
help
feeling
the
strangeness
of
her
situation
.
How
was
it
that
,
in
so
little
a
while
,
the
narrow
life
of
the
country
had
fallen
from
her
as
a
garment
,
and
the
city
,
with
all
its
mystery
,
taken
its
place
?
Here
was
this
greatest
mystery
,
the
man
of
money
and
affairs
sitting
beside
her
,
appealing
to
her
.
Behold
,
he
had
ease
and
comfort
,
his
strength
was
great
,
his
position
high
,
his
clothing
rich
,
and
yet
he
was
appealing
to
her
.
She
could
formulate
no
thought
which
would
be
just
and
right
.
She
troubled
herself
no
more
upon
the
matter
.
She
only
basked
in
the
warmth
of
his
feeling
,
which
was
as
a
grateful
blaze
to
one
who
is
cold
.
Hurstwood
glowed
with
his
own
intensity
,
and
the
heat
of
his
passion
was
already
melting
the
wax
of
his
companion
’
s
scruples
.
“
You
think
,
”
he
said
,
“
I
am
happy
;
that
I
ought
not
to
complain
?
If
you
were
to
meet
all
day
with
people
who
care
absolutely
nothing
about
you
,
if
you
went
day
after
day
to
a
place
where
there
was
nothing
but
show
and
indifference
,
if
there
was
not
one
person
in
all
those
you
knew
to
whom
you
could
appeal
for
sympathy
or
talk
to
with
pleasure
,
perhaps
you
would
be
unhappy
too
.

He
was
striking
a
chord
now
which
found
sympathetic
response
in
her
own
situation
.
She
knew
what
it
was
to
meet
with
people
who
were
indifferent
,
to
walk
alone
amid
so
many
who
cared
absolutely
nothing
about
you
.
Had
not
she
?
Was
not
she
at
this
very
moment
quite
alone
?
Who
was
there
among
all
whom
she
knew
to
whom
she
could
appeal
for
sympathy
?
Not
one
.
She
was
left
to
herself
to
brood
and
wonder
.
“
I
could
be
content
,
”
went
on
Hurstwood
,
“
if
I
had
you
to
love
me
.
If
I
had
you
to
go
to
;
you
for
a
companion
.
As
it
is
,
I
simply
move
about
from
place
to
place
without
any
satisfaction
.
Time
hangs
heavily
on
my
hands
.
Before
you
came
I
did
nothing
but
idle
and
drift
into
anything
that
offered
itself
.
Since
you
came
—
well
,
I
’
ve
had
you
to
think
about
.
”
The
old
illusion
that
here
was
some
one
who
needed
her
aid
began
to
grow
in
Carrie
’
s
mind
.
She
truly
pitied
this
sad
,
lonely
figure
.
To
think
that
all
his
fine
state
should
be
so
barren
for
want
of
her
;
that
he
needed
to
make
such
an
appeal
when
she
herself
was
lonely
and
without
anchor
.
Surely
,
this
was
too
bad
.

“
I
am
not
very
bad
,
”
he
said
,
apologetically
,
as
if
he
owed
it
to
her
to
explain
on
this
score
.
“
You
think
,
probably
,
that
I
roam
around
,
and
get
into
all
sorts
of
evil
?
I
have
been
rather
reckless
,
but
I
could
easily
come
out
of
that
.
I
need
you
to
draw
me
back
,
if
my
life
ever
amounts
to
anything
.
”
Carrie
looked
at
him
with
the
tenderness
which
virtue
ever
feels
in
its
hope
of
reclaiming
vice
.
How
could
such
a
man
need
reclaiming
?
His
errors
,
what
were
they
,
that
she
could
correct
?
Small
they
must
be
,
where
all
was
so
fine
.
At
worst
,
they
were
gilded
affairs
,
and
with
what
leniency
are
gilded
errors
viewed
.
He
put
himself
in
such
a
lonely
light
that
she
was
deeply
moved
.
“
Is
it
that
way
?
”
she
mused
