He laughed brokenly . George Willard had set forth upon an adventure . All day he had been trying to make up his mind to go through with the adventure and now he was acting . In the office of the Winesburg Eagle he had been sitting since six o'clock trying to think . There had been no decision . He had just jumped to his feet , hurried past Will Henderson who was reading proof in the printshop and started to run along the alleyway . Through street after street went George Willard , avoiding the people who passed .
