Because
of
the
uncertainty
expressed
by
her
,
his
eyes
were
now
seeking
,
frightened
,
sad
.
The
combination
had
an
intense
appeal
for
her
She
merely
looked
at
him
dubiously
,
wondering
what
could
be
the
result
of
such
an
infatuation
as
this
.
And
he
,
noting
the
wavering
something
in
her
own
eyes
,
pulled
her
closer
and
kissed
her
.
Instead
of
resenting
it
she
lay
for
a
moment
willingly
,
joyously
,
in
his
arms
,
then
suddenly
sat
up
,
the
thought
of
what
she
was
permitting
him
to
do
--
kiss
her
in
this
way
--
and
what
it
must
mean
to
him
,
causing
her
on
the
instant
to
recover
all
her
poise
.
"
I
think
you
'd
better
go
now
,
"
she
said
definitely
,
yet
not
unkindly
.
"
Do
n't
you
?
"
And
Clyde
,
who
himself
had
been
surprised
and
afterwards
a
little
startled
,
and
hence
reduced
by
his
own
boldness
,
now
pleaded
rather
weakly
,
and
yet
submissively
.
"
Angry
?
"
And
she
,
in
turn
sensing
his
submissiveness
,
that
of
the
slave
for
the
master
,
and
in
part
liking
and
in
part
resenting
it
,
since
like
Roberta
and
Hortense
,
even
she
preferred
to
be
mastered
rather
than
to
master
,
shook
her
head
negatively
and
a
little
sadly
.
"
It
's
very
late
,
"
was
all
she
said
,
and
smiled
tenderly
.
And
Clyde
,
realizing
that
for
some
reason
he
must
not
say
more
,
had
not
the
courage
or
persistence
or
the
background
to
go
further
with
her
now
,
went
for
his
coat
and
,
looking
sadly
but
obediently
back
at
her
,
departed
.
One
of
the
things
that
Roberta
soon
found
was
that
her
intuitive
notions
in
regard
to
all
this
were
not
without
speedy
substantiation
.
For
exactly
as
before
,
though
with
the
usual
insistence
afterward
that
there
was
no
real
help
for
it
,
there
continued
to
be
these
same
last
moment
changes
of
plan
and
unannounced
absences
.
And
although
she
complained
at
times
,
or
pleaded
,
or
merely
contented
herself
with
quite
silent
and
not
always
obvious
"
blues
,
"
still
these
same
effected
no
real
modification
or
improvement
.
For
Clyde
was
now
hopelessly
enamored
of
Sandra
and
by
no
means
to
be
changed
,
or
moved
even
,
by
anything
in
connection
with
Roberta
.
Sondra
was
too
wonderful
!
At
the
same
time
because
she
was
there
all
of
the
working
hours
of
each
day
in
the
same
room
with
him
,
he
could
not
fail
instinctively
to
feel
some
of
the
thoughts
that
employed
her
mind
--
such
dark
,
sad
,
despairing
thoughts
.
And
these
seized
upon
him
at
times
as
definitely
and
poignantly
as
though
they
were
voices
of
accusation
or
complaint
--
so
much
so
that
he
could
not
help
but
suggest
by
way
of
amelioration
that
he
would
like
to
see
her
and
that
he
was
coming
around
that
night
if
she
were
going
to
be
home
.
And
so
distrait
was
she
,
and
still
so
infatuated
with
him
,
that
she
could
not
resist
admitting
that
she
wanted
him
to
come
.
And
once
there
,
the
psychic
personality
of
the
past
as
well
as
of
the
room
itself
was
not
without
its
persuasion
and
hence
emotional
compulsion
.
But
most
foolishly
anticipating
,
as
he
now
did
,
a
future
more
substantial
than
the
general
local
circumstances
warranted
,
he
was
more
concerned
than
ever
lest
his
present
relationship
to
Roberta
should
in
any
way
prove
inimical
to
all
this
.
Supposing
that
Sondra
at
some
time
,
in
some
way
,
should
find
out
concerning
Roberta
?
How
fatal
that
would
be
!
Or
that
Roberta
should
become
aware
of
his
devotion
to
Sondra
and
so
develop
an
active
resentment
which
should
carry
her
to
the
length
of
denouncing
or
exposing
him
.
For
subsequent
to
the
New
Year
's
Eve
engagement
,
he
was
all
too
frequently
appearing
at
the
factory
of
a
morning
with
explanatory
statements
that
because
of
some
invitation
from
the
Griffiths
,
Harriets
,
or
others
,
he
would
not
be
able
to
keep
an
engagement
with
her
that
night
,
for
instance
,
that
he
had
made
a
day
or
two
before
.
And
later
,
on
three
different
occasions
,
because
Sondra
had
called
for
him
in
her
car
,
he
had
departed
without
a
word
,
trusting
to
what
might
come
to
him
the
next
day
in
the
way
of
an
excuse
to
smooth
the
matter
over
.
Yet
anomalous
,
if
not
exactly
unprecedented
as
it
may
seem
,
this
condition
of
mingled
sympathy
and
opposition
gave
rise
at
last
to
the
feeling
in
him
that
come
what
might
he
must
find
some
method
of
severing
this
tie
,
even
though
it
lacerated
Roberta
to
the
point
of
death
(
Why
should
he
care
?
He
had
never
told
her
that
he
would
marry
her
.
)
or
endangered
his
own
position
here
in
case
she
were
not
satisfied
to
release
him
as
voicelessly
as
he
wished
.
