Sister Carrie by Theodore Dreiser
She brooded over her lines the livelong day on Friday—reporting first for a final rehearsal and later studying alone in her room.
"Oh, dear! dear!" she said, "I just know I won't succeed."
At the rehearsal Hurstwood put in an appearance. He could not resist the temptation.
"Well," he said, "I thought I had better run out and see how you felt."
"Oh, I don't know," said Carrie. "I'm rather shaky."
"Well, don't you be now," he said cordially, "it isn't worth it. These people will be indulgent with you. Besides it will be nothing if you do miss some of your lines. Just drive on—you'll come out all right. You will—now be easy."
Adapted from Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie, 1900.
