For
,
as
he
now
darkly
and
vaguely
thought
,
if
he
sought
a
relationship
which
her
prejudices
and
her
training
would
not
permit
her
to
look
upon
as
anything
but
evil
,
was
he
not
thereby
establishing
in
some
form
a
claim
on
her
part
to
some
consideration
from
him
in
the
future
which
it
might
not
be
so
easy
for
him
to
ignore
?
For
after
all
he
was
the
aggressor
--
not
she
.
And
because
of
this
,
and
whatever
might
follow
in
connection
with
it
,
might
not
she
be
in
a
position
to
demand
more
from
him
than
he
might
be
willing
to
give
?
For
was
it
his
intention
to
marry
her
?
In
the
back
of
his
mind
there
lurked
something
which
even
now
assured
him
that
he
would
never
desire
to
marry
her
--
could
not
in
the
face
of
his
high
family
connections
here
.
Therefore
should
he
proceed
to
demand
--
or
should
he
not
?
And
if
he
did
,
could
he
avoid
that
which
would
preclude
any
claim
in
the
future
?
He
did
not
thus
so
distinctly
voice
his
inmost
feelings
to
himself
,
but
relatively
of
such
was
their
nature
.
Yet
so
great
was
the
temperamental
and
physical
enticement
of
Roberta
that
in
spite
of
a
warning
nudge
or
mood
that
seemed
to
hint
that
it
was
dangerous
for
him
to
persist
in
his
demand
,
he
kept
saying
to
himself
that
unless
she
would
permit
him
to
her
room
,
he
would
not
have
anything
more
to
do
with
her
,
the
desire
for
her
being
all
but
overpowering
.
This
contest
which
every
primary
union
between
the
sexes
,
whether
with
or
without
marriage
implies
,
was
fought
out
the
next
day
in
the
factory
.
And
yet
without
a
word
on
either
side
.
For
Clyde
,
although
he
considered
himself
to
be
deeply
in
love
with
Roberta
,
was
still
not
so
deeply
involved
but
that
a
naturally
selfish
and
ambitious
and
seeking
disposition
would
in
this
instance
stand
its
ground
and
master
any
impulse
.
And
he
was
determined
to
take
the
attitude
of
one
who
had
been
injured
and
was
determined
not
to
be
friends
any
more
or
yield
in
any
way
unless
some
concession
on
her
part
,
such
as
would
appease
him
,
was
made
.
And
in
consequence
he
came
into
the
stamping
department
that
morning
with
the
face
and
air
of
one
who
was
vastly
preoccupied
with
matters
which
had
little
,
if
anything
,
to
do
with
what
had
occurred
the
night
before
.
Yet
,
being
far
from
certain
that
this
attitude
on
his
part
was
likely
to
lead
to
anything
but
defeat
,
he
was
inwardly
depressed
and
awry
.
For
,
after
all
,
the
sight
of
Roberta
,
freshly
arrived
,
and
although
pale
and
distrait
,
as
charming
and
energetic
as
ever
,
was
not
calculated
to
assure
him
of
any
immediate
or
even
ultimate
victory
.
And
knowing
her
as
well
as
he
thought
he
did
,
by
now
,
he
was
but
weakly
sustained
by
the
thought
that
she
might
yield
.
He
looked
at
her
repeatedly
when
she
was
not
looking
.
And
when
in
turn
she
looked
at
him
repeatedly
,
but
only
at
first
when
he
was
not
looking
,
later
when
she
felt
satisfied
that
his
eyes
,
whether
directly
bent
on
her
or
not
,
must
be
encompassing
her
,
still
no
trace
of
recognition
could
she
extract
.
And
now
to
her
bitter
disappointment
,
not
only
did
he
choose
to
ignore
her
,
but
quite
for
the
first
time
since
they
had
been
so
interested
in
each
other
,
he
professed
to
pay
,
if
not
exactly
conspicuous
at
least
noticeable
and
intentional
attention
to
those
other
girls
who
were
always
so
interested
in
him
and
who
always
,
as
she
had
been
constantly
imagining
,
were
but
waiting
for
any
slight
overture
on
his
part
,
to
yield
themselves
to
him
in
any
way
that
he
might
dictate
.
Now
he
was
looking
over
the
shoulder
of
Ruza
Nikoforitch
,
her
plump
face
with
its
snub
nose
and
weak
chin
turned
engagingly
toward
him
,
and
he
commenting
on
something
not
particularly
connected
with
the
work
in
hand
apparently
,
for
both
were
idly
smiling
.
Again
,
in
a
little
while
,
he
was
by
the
side
of
Martha
Bordaloue
,
her
plump
French
shoulders
and
arms
bare
to
the
pits
next
to
his
.
And
for
all
her
fleshy
solidity
and
decidedly
foreign
flavor
,
there
was
still
enough
about
her
which
most
men
would
like
.
And
with
her
Clyde
was
attempting
to
jest
,
too
.
And
later
it
was
Flora
Brandt
,
the
very
sensuous
and
not
unpleasing
American
girl
whom
Roberta
had
seen
Clyde
cultivating
from
time
to
time
.
Yet
,
even
so
,
she
had
never
been
willing
to
believe
that
he
might
become
interested
in
any
of
these
.
Not
Clyde
,
surely
.
And
yet
he
could
not
see
her
at
all
now
--
could
not
find
time
to
say
a
single
word
,
although
all
these
pleasant
words
and
gay
looks
for
all
these
others
.
