The big pale-gray auto with its shining metal work looked out of place moving slowly among the trash heaps on the Lower East Side. So did Cortlandt Van Duyckink, with his high-class face and white, thin hands, as he steered carefully between the groups of untidy kids in the streets. And so did Miss Constance Schuyler, with her plain, bare beauty, seated at his side. “Oh, Cortlandt,” she breathed, “isn’t it sad that human beings have to live in such unpleasantness and poverty? And you—how noble it is of you to think of them, to give your time and money to improve their condition!” Van Duyckink turned his serious eyes upon her. “It is little,” he said, sadly, “that I can do. The question is a large one, and belongs to society. But even individual effort is not thrown away. Look, Constance! On this street I have arranged to build soup kitchens * , where no one who is hungry will be turned away. And down this other street are the old buildings that I shall cause to be destroyed and there erect others in place of those death traps * of fire and disease.” Note * soup kitchen : a place that gives food (such as soup and bread) to poor people * death trap : (informal) a building, vehicle, etc., that is very dangerous and could cause someone’s death 5 10 15 96 I Unit 4
