At
other
times
it
caused
him
to
feel
that
indeed
he
was
a
sly
and
shameless
and
cruel
person
who
had
taken
undue
advantage
of
a
girl
who
,
left
to
herself
,
would
never
have
troubled
with
him
.
And
this
latter
mood
,
in
spite
of
slights
and
lies
and
thinly
excused
neglects
and
absences
at
times
in
the
face
of
the
most
definite
agreements
--
so
strange
is
the
libido
of
the
race
--
brought
about
the
reenactment
of
the
infernal
or
celestial
command
laid
upon
Adam
and
his
breed
:
"
Thy
desire
shall
be
to
thy
mate
.
"
But
there
was
this
to
be
said
in
connection
with
the
relationship
between
these
two
,
that
no
time
,
owing
to
the
inexperience
of
Clyde
,
as
well
as
Roberta
,
had
there
been
any
adequate
understanding
or
use
of
more
than
the
simplest
,
and
for
the
most
part
unsatisfactory
,
contraceptive
devices
.
About
the
middle
of
February
,
and
,
interestingly
enough
,
at
about
the
time
when
Clyde
,
because
of
the
continuing
favor
of
Sondra
,
had
about
reached
the
point
where
he
was
determined
once
and
for
all
to
end
,
not
only
this
physical
,
but
all
other
connection
with
Roberta
,
she
on
her
part
was
beginning
to
see
clearly
that
,
in
spite
of
his
temporizing
and
her
own
incurable
infatuation
for
him
,
pursuit
of
him
by
her
was
futile
and
that
it
would
be
more
to
the
satisfaction
of
her
pride
,
if
not
to
the
ease
of
her
heart
,
if
she
were
to
leave
here
and
in
some
other
place
seek
some
financial
help
that
would
permit
her
to
live
and
still
help
her
parents
and
forget
him
if
she
could
.
Unfortunately
for
this
,
she
was
compelled
,
to
her
dismay
and
terror
,
to
enter
the
factory
one
morning
,
just
about
this
time
,
her
face
a
symbol
of
even
graver
and
more
terrifying
doubts
and
fears
than
any
that
had
hitherto
assailed
her
.
For
now
,
in
addition
to
her
own
troubled
conclusions
in
regard
to
Clyde
,
there
had
sprung
up
over
night
the
dark
and
constraining
fear
that
even
this
might
not
now
be
possible
,
for
the
present
at
least
.
For
because
of
her
own
and
Clyde
's
temporizing
over
his
and
her
sentimentality
and
her
unconquerable
affection
for
him
,
she
now
,
at
a
time
when
it
was
most
inimical
for
both
,
found
herself
pregnant
.
Ever
since
she
had
yielded
to
his
blandishments
,
she
had
counted
the
days
and
always
had
been
able
to
congratulate
herself
that
all
was
well
.
But
forty-eight
hours
since
the
always
exactly
calculated
time
had
now
passed
,
and
there
had
been
no
sign
.
And
for
four
days
preceding
this
Clyde
had
not
even
been
near
her
.
And
his
attitude
at
the
factory
was
more
remote
and
indifferent
than
ever
.
And
now
,
this
!
And
she
had
no
one
but
him
to
whom
she
might
turn
.
And
he
was
in
this
estranged
and
indifferent
mood
.
Because
of
her
fright
,
induced
by
the
fear
that
with
or
without
Clyde
's
aid
she
might
not
easily
be
extricated
from
her
threatened
predicament
,
she
could
see
her
home
,
her
mother
,
her
relatives
,
all
who
knew
her
,
and
their
thoughts
in
case
anything
like
this
should
befall
her
.
For
of
the
opinion
of
society
in
general
and
what
other
people
might
say
,
Roberta
stood
in
extreme
terror
.
The
stigma
of
unsanctioned
concupiscence
!
The
shame
of
illegitimacy
for
a
child
!
It
was
bad
enough
,
as
she
had
always
thought
,
listening
to
girls
and
women
talk
of
life
and
marriage
and
adultery
and
the
miseries
that
had
befallen
girls
who
had
yielded
to
men
and
subsequently
been
deserted
,
for
a
woman
when
she
was
safely
married
and
sustained
by
the
love
and
strength
of
a
man
--
such
love
,
for
instance
,
as
her
brother-in-law
Gabel
brought
to
her
sister
Agnes
,
and
her
father
to
her
mother
in
the
first
years
,
no
doubt
--
and
Clyde
to
her
when
he
had
so
feverishly
declared
that
he
loved
her
.
But
now
--
now
!
She
could
not
permit
any
thoughts
in
regard
to
his
recent
or
present
attitude
to
delay
her
.
Regardless
of
either
,
he
must
help
her
.
She
did
not
know
what
else
to
do
under
such
circumstances
--
which
way
to
turn
.
And
no
doubt
Clyde
did
.
At
any
rate
he
had
said
once
that
he
would
stand
by
her
in
case
anything
happened
.
And
although
,
because
at
first
,
even
on
the
third
day
on
reaching
the
factory
,
she
imagined
that
she
might
be
exaggerating
the
danger
and
that
it
was
perhaps
some
physical
flaw
or
lapse
that
might
still
overcome
itself
,
still
by
late
afternoon
no
evidence
of
any
change
coming
to
her
,
she
began
to
be
a
prey
to
the
most
nameless
terrors
.
What
little
courage
she
had
mustered
up
to
this
time
began
to
waver
and
break
.
She
was
all
alone
,
unless
he
came
to
her
now
.
