Shaughnessy doesn't want to." "Do you lose what you put in ?" "Yes," said Hurstwood, whose face was a study.
"Oh, isn't that too bad ?" said Carrie.
"It's a trick," said Hurstwood.

"That's all.

They'll start another place there all right." Carrie looked at him, and gathered from his whole demeanor what it meant.
