"
Do
you
suppose
she
's
run
away
for
good
?
"
he
asked
Julia
dubiously
,
the
while
his
parents
were
out
of
the
room
,
Julia
herself
looking
so
blank
and
strange
.
102
"
How
should
I
know
?
"
she
replied
a
little
irritably
,
troubled
by
her
parents
'
distress
and
this
secretiveness
,
as
well
as
Esta
's
action
.
"
She
never
said
anything
to
me
.
I
should
think
she
'd
be
ashamed
of
herself
if
she
has
.
"

Julia
,
being
colder
emotionally
than
either
Esta
or
Clyde
,
was
more
considerate
of
her
parents
in
a
conventional
way
,
and
hence
sorrier
.
True
,
she
did
not
quite
gather
what
it
meant
,
but
she
suspected
something
,
for
she
had
talked
occasionally
with
girls
,
but
in
a
very
guarded
and
conservative
way
.
Now
,
however
,
it
was
more
the
way
in
which
Esta
had
chosen
to
leave
,
deserting
her
parents
and
her
brothers
and
herself
,
that
caused
her
to
be
angry
with
her
,
for
why
should
she
go
and
do
anything
which
would
distress
her
parents
in
this
dreadful
fashion
.
It
was
dreadful
.
The
air
was
thick
with
misery
.

And
as
his
parents
talked
in
their
little
room
,
Clyde
brooded
too
,
for
he
was
intensely
curious
about
life
now
.
What
was
it
Esta
had
really
done
?
Was
it
,
as
he
feared
and
thought
,
one
of
those
dreadful
runaway
or
sexually
disagreeable
affairs
which
the
boys
on
the
streets
and
at
school
were
always
slyly
talking
about
?
How
shameful
,
if
that
were
true
!
She
might
never
come
back
.
She
had
gone
with
some
man
.
There
was
something
wrong
about
that
,
no
doubt
,
for
a
girl
,
anyhow
,
for
all
he
had
ever
heard
was
that
all
decent
contacts
between
boys
and
girls
,
men
and
women
,
led
to
but
one
thing
--
marriage
.
And
now
Esta
,
in
addition
to
their
other
troubles
,
had
gone
and
done
this
.
105
Certainly
this
home
life
of
theirs
was
pretty
dark
now
,
and
it
would
be
darker
instead
of
brighter
because
of
this
.
106
Presently
the
parents
came
out
,
and
then
Mrs.
Griffiths
'
face
,
if
still
set
and
constrained
,
was
somehow
a
little
different
,
less
savage
perhaps
,
more
hopelessly
resigned
.
107
"
Esta
's
seen
fit
to
leave
us
,
for
a
little
while
,
anyhow
,
"
was
all
she
said
at
first
,
seeing
the
children
waiting
curiously
.
"
Now
,
you
're
not
to
worry
about
her
at
all
,
or
think
any
more
about
it
.
She
'll
come
back
after
a
while
,
I
'm
sure
.
She
has
chosen
to
go
her
own
way
,
for
a
time
,
for
some
reason
.
The
Lord
's
will
be
done
.
"
(
"
Blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord
!
"
interpolated
Asa
.
)
"
I
thought
she
was
happy
here
with
us
,
but
apparently
she
was
n't
.
She
must
see
something
of
the
world
for
herself
,
I
suppose
.
"
(
Here
Asa
put
in
another
Tst
!
Tst
!
Tst
!
)
"
But
we
must
n't
harbor
hard
thoughts
.
That
wo
n't
do
any
good
now
--
only
thoughts
of
love
and
kindness
.
"
Yet
she
said
this
with
a
kind
of
sternness
that
somehow
belied
it
--
a
click
of
the
voice
,
as
it
were
.
"
We
can
only
hope
that
she
will
soon
see
how
foolish
she
has
been
,
and
unthinking
,
and
come
back
.
She
ca
n't
prosper
on
the
course
she
's
going
now
.
It
is
n't
the
Lord
's
way
or
will
.
She
's
too
young
and
she
's
made
a
mistake
.
But
we
can
forgive
her
.
We
must
.
Our
hearts
must
be
kept
open
,
soft
and
tender
.
"
She
talked
as
though
she
were
addressing
a
meeting
,
but
with
a
hard
,
sad
,
frozen
face
and
voice
.
"
Now
,
all
of
you
go
to
bed
.

We
can
only
pray
now
,
and
hope
,
morning
,
noon
and
night
,
that
no
evil
will
befall
her
.
I
wish
she
had
n't
done
that
,
"
she
added
,
quite
out
of
keeping
with
the
rest
of
her
statement
and
really
not
thinking
of
the
children
as
present
at
all
--
just
of
Esta
.
109
But
Asa
!
110
Such
a
father
,
as
Clyde
often
thought
,
afterwards
.
