Pleasure reading. Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser. (Chapters 7-10)

After taking money from Drouet, Carrie lost her head. She wanted to spend them on beautiful clothes and elegant things at once. But when she came back to earth she realized it was impossible, because she would have to explain her sister where she got this money.  That's why Carrie took a decision to return the money to Drouet.

Ultimately Drouet took Carrie under his wing. He persuaded her to leave her sister's house and rent a separate dwelling at his expense. He helped her to dress up in order to appear in society. Drouet wanted to care for Carrie. But Carrie understood: this cannot go on for ever. She must to find a job and support herself  on her own. But Drouet's courtings and beautiful Chicago's life she had so dreamed of made her forget about this problem.

Drouet introduced Carrie to his friend Hurtswood who also impressed the young girl very much.

Meanwhile, Carrie's sister Meeber was very anxious about sister's leaving. She didn't know where she went and it made Meeber suffer from nightsmares.
