He
took
the
Browning
and
the
Swinburne
from
the
chair
and
kissed
them
.
Just
the
same
,
she
told
me
to
call
again
,
he
thought
.
He
took
another
look
at
himself
in
the
glass
,
and
said
aloud
,
with
great
solemnity
:
-
"
Martin
Eden
,
the
first
thing
tomorrow
you
go
to
the
free
library
an
’
read
up
on
etiquette
.
Understand
!
"
He
turned
off
the
gas
,
and
the
springs
shrieked
under
his
body
.
"
But
you
’
ve
got
to
quit
cussin
’
,
Martin
,
old
boy
;
you
’
ve
got
to
quit
cussin
’
,
"
he
said
aloud
.
Then
he
dozed
off
to
sleep
and
to
dream
dreams
that
for
madness
and
audacity
rivalled
those
of
poppy
-
eaters
.
He
awoke
next
morning
from
rosy
scenes
of
dream
to
a
steamy
atmosphere
that
smelled
of
soapsuds
and
dirty
clothes
,
and
that
was
vibrant
with
the
jar
and
jangle
of
tormented
life
.
As
he
came
out
of
his
room
he
heard
the
slosh
of
water
,
a
sharp
exclamation
,
and
a
resounding
smack
as
his
sister
visited
her
irritation
upon
one
of
her
numerous
progeny
.
The
squall
of
the
child
went
through
him
like
a
knife
.
He
was
aware
that
the
whole
thing
,
the
very
air
he
breathed
,
was
repulsive
and
mean
.
How
different
,
he
thought
,
from
the
atmosphere
of
beauty
and
repose
of
the
house
wherein
Ruth
dwelt
.
There
it
was
all
spiritual
.
Here
it
was
all
material
,
and
meanly
material
.
"
Come
here
,
Alfred
,
"
he
called
to
the
crying
child
,
at
the
same
time
thrusting
his
hand
into
his
trousers
pocket
,
where
he
carried
his
money
loose
in
the
same
large
way
that
he
lived
life
in
general
.
He
put
a
quarter
in
the
youngster
’
s
hand
and
held
him
in
his
arms
a
moment
,
soothing
his
sobs
.
"
Now
run
along
and
get
some
candy
,
and
don
’
t
forget
to
give
some
to
your
brothers
and
sisters
.
Be
sure
and
get
the
kind
that
lasts
longest
.
"
His
sister
lifted
a
flushed
face
from
the
wash
-
tub
and
looked
at
him
.
"
A
nickel
’
d
ha
’
ben
enough
,
"
she
said
.
"
It
’
s
just
like
you
,
no
idea
of
the
value
of
money
.
The
child
’
ll
eat
himself
sick
.
"
"
That
’
s
all
right
,
sis
,
"
he
answered
jovially
.
"
My
money
’
ll
take
care
of
itself
.
If
you
weren
’
t
so
busy
,
I
’
d
kiss
you
good
morning
.
"
