If
I
fail
?
"
He
regarded
her
for
a
moment
as
though
the
thought
she
had
uttered
was
unthinkable
.
Then
intelligence
illumined
his
eyes
.
"
If
I
fail
,
I
shall
become
an
editor
,
and
you
will
be
an
editor
’
s
wife
.
"
She
frowned
at
his
facetiousness
—
a
pretty
,
adorable
frown
that
made
him
put
his
arm
around
her
and
kiss
it
away
.
"
There
,
that
’
s
enough
,
"
she
urged
,
by
an
effort
of
will
withdrawing
herself
from
the
fascination
of
his
strength
.
"
I
have
talked
with
father
and
mother
.
I
never
before
asserted
myself
so
against
them
.
I
demanded
to
be
heard
.
I
was
very
undutiful
.
They
are
against
you
,
you
know
;
but
I
assured
them
over
and
over
of
my
abiding
love
for
you
,
and
at
last
father
agreed
that
if
you
wanted
to
,
you
could
begin
right
away
in
his
office
.
And
then
,
of
his
own
accord
,
he
said
he
would
pay
you
enough
at
the
start
so
that
we
could
get
married
and
have
a
little
cottage
somewhere
.
Which
I
think
was
very
fine
of
him
—
don

t
you

Martin
,
with
the
dull
pain
of
despair
at
his
heart
,
mechanically
reaching
for
the
tobacco
and
paper
(
which
he
no
longer
carried
)
to
roll
a
cigarette
,
muttered
something
inarticulate
,
and
Ruth
went
on
.
"
Frankly
,
though
,
and
don
’
t
let
it
hurt
you
—
I
tell
you
,
to
show
you
precisely
how
you
stand
with
him
—
he
doesn
’
t
like
your
radical
views
,
and
he
thinks
you
are
lazy
.
Of
course
I
know
you
are
not
.
I
know
you
work
hard
.
"
How
hard
,
even
she
did
not
know
,
was
the
thought
in
Martin
’
s
mind
.
"
Well
,
then
,
"
he
said
,
"
how
about
my
views
?
Do
you
think
they
are
so
radical
?

He
held
her
eyes
and
waited
the
answer
.
"
I
think
them
,
well
,
very
disconcerting
,
"
she
replied
.
The
question
was
answered
for
him
,
and
so
oppressed
was
he
by
the
grayness
of
life
that
he
forgot
the
tentative
proposition
she
had
made
for
him
to
go
to
work
.
And
she
,
having
gone
as
far
as
she
dared
,
was
willing
to
wait
the
answer
till
she
should
bring
the
question
up
again
.
