Just tell your wife she must come and see me." "I will," said Hurstwood, standing back, and feeling intense relief at her going.

He was so ashamed that he folded his hands weakly, as he sat in the chair afterwards, and thought.
Carrie, coming in from another direction, thought she saw Mrs.Vance going away.

She strained her eyes, but could not make sure.
"Was anybody here just now ?" she asked of Hurstwood.
"Yes," he said guiltily; "Mrs.Vance." "Did she see you ?" she asked, expressing her full despair.

This cut Hurstwood like a whip, and made him sullen.
"If she had eyes, she did.

I opened the door." "Oh," said Carrie, closing one hand tightly out of sheer nervousness.
"What did she have to say ?" "Nothing," he answered.
