I
understand
,
of
course
,
that
you
consider
it
necessary
.
You
and
your
husband
are
both
young
and
you
probably
have
n't
very
much
money
to
go
on
,
and
you
both
feel
that
an
interruption
of
this
kind
will
be
a
great
strain
in
every
way
.
And
no
doubt
it
will
be
.
Still
,
as
I
see
it
,
marriage
is
a
very
sacred
thing
,
and
children
are
a
blessing
--
not
a
curse
.
And
when
you
went
to
the
altar
three
months
ago
you
were
probably
not
unaware
that
you
might
have
to
face
just
such
a
situation
as
this
.
All
young
married
people
are
,
I
think
.
"
(
"
The
altar
,
"
thought
Roberta
sadly
.
If
only
it
were
so
.
)
"
Now
I
know
that
the
tendency
of
the
day
in
some
quarters
is
very
much
in
this
direction
,
I
am
sorry
to
say
.
There
are
those
who
feel
it
quite
all
right
if
they
can
shirk
the
normal
responsibilities
in
such
cases
as
to
perform
these
operations
,
but
it
's
very
dangerous
,
Mrs.
Howard
,
very
dangerous
legally
and
ethically
as
well
as
medically
very
wrong
.
Many
women
who
seek
to
escape
childbirth
die
in
this
way
.
Besides
it
is
a
prison
offense
for
any
doctor
to
assist
them
,
whether
there
are
bad
consequences
or
not
.
You
know
that
,
I
suppose
.
At
any
rate
,
I
,
for
one
,
am
heartily
opposed
to
this
sort
of
thing
from
every
point
of
view
.
The
only
excuse
I
have
ever
been
able
to
see
for
it
is
when
the
life
of
the
mother
,
for
instance
,
depends
upon
such
an
operation
.
Not
otherwise
.
And
in
such
cases
the
medical
profession
is
in
accord
.
But
in
this
instance
I
'm
sure
the
situation
is
n't
one
which
warrants
anything
like
that
.
You
seem
to
me
to
be
a
strong
,
healthy
girl
.
Motherhood
should
hold
no
serious
consequences
for
you
.
And
as
for
money
reasons
,
do
n't
you
really
think
now
that
if
you
just
go
ahead
and
have
this
baby
,
you
and
your
husband
would
find
means
of
getting
along
?
You
say
your
husband
is
an
electrician
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
replied
Roberta
,
nervously
,
not
a
little
overawed
and
subdued
by
his
solemn
moralizing
.
"
Well
,
now
,
there
you
are
,
"
he
went
on
.
"
That
's
not
such
an
unprofitable
profession
.
At
least
all
electricians
charge
enough
.
And
when
you
consider
,
as
you
must
,
how
serious
a
thing
you
are
thinking
of
doing
,
that
you
are
actually
planning
to
destroy
a
young
life
that
has
as
good
a
right
to
its
existence
as
you
have
to
yours
...
"
he
paused
in
order
to
let
the
substance
of
what
he
was
saying
sink
in
--
"
well
,
then
,
I
think
you
might
feel
called
upon
to
stop
and
consider
--
both
you
and
your
husband
.
Besides
,
"
he
added
,
in
a
diplomatic
and
more
fatherly
and
even
intriguing
tone
of
voice
,
"
I
think
that
once
you
have
it
it
will
more
than
make
up
to
you
both
for
whatever
little
hardship
its
coming
will
bring
you
.
Tell
me
,
"
he
added
curiously
at
this
point
,
"
does
your
husband
know
of
this
?
Or
is
this
just
some
plan
of
yours
to
save
him
and
yourself
from
too
much
hardship
?
"
He
almost
beamed
cheerfully
as
,
fancying
he
had
captured
Roberta
in
some
purely
nervous
and
feminine
economy
as
well
as
dread
,
he
decided
that
if
so
he
could
easily
extract
her
from
her
present
mood
.
And
she
,
sensing
his
present
drift
and
feeling
that
one
lie
more
or
less
could
neither
help
nor
harm
her
,
replied
quickly
:
"
He
knows
.
"
"
Well
,
then
,
"
he
went
on
,
slightly
reduced
by
the
fact
that
his
surmise
was
incorrect
,
but
none
the
less
resolved
to
dissuade
her
and
him
,
too
:
"
I
think
you
two
should
really
consider
very
seriously
before
you
go
further
in
this
matter
.
I
know
when
young
people
first
face
a
situation
like
this
they
always
look
on
the
darkest
side
of
it
,
but
it
does
n't
always
work
out
that
way
.
I
know
my
wife
and
I
did
with
our
first
child
.
But
we
got
along
.
And
if
you
will
only
stop
now
and
talk
it
over
,
you
'll
see
it
in
a
different
light
,
I
'm
sure
.
And
then
you
wo
n't
have
your
conscience
to
deal
with
afterwards
,
either
.
"
He
ceased
,
feeling
reasonably
sure
that
he
had
dispelled
the
fear
,
as
well
as
the
determination
that
had
brought
Roberta
to
him
--
that
,
being
a
sensible
,
ordinary
wife
,
she
would
now
desist
of
course
--
think
nothing
more
of
her
plan
and
leave
.
But
instead
of
either
acquiescing
cheerfully
or
rising
to
go
,
as
he
thought
she
might
,
she
gave
him
a
wide-eyed
terrified
look
and
then
as
instantly
burst
into
tears
.
For
the
total
effect
of
his
address
had
been
to
first
revive
more
clearly
than
ever
the
normal
social
or
conventional
aspect
of
the
situation
which
all
along
she
was
attempting
to
shut
out
from
her
thoughts
and
which
,
under
ordinary
circumstances
,
assuming
that
she
was
really
married
,
was
exactly
the
attitude
she
would
have
taken
.
But
now
the
realization
that
her
problem
was
not
to
be
solved
at
all
,
by
this
man
at
least
,
caused
her
to
be
seized
with
what
might
best
be
described
as
morbid
panic
.
Suddenly
beginning
to
open
and
shut
her
fingers
and
at
the
same
time
beating
her
knees
,
while
her
face
contorted
itself
with
pain
and
terror
,
she
exclaimed
:
"
But
you
do
n't
understand
,
doctor
,
you
do
n't
understand
!
I
HAVE
to
get
out
of
this
in
some
way
!
I
have
to
.
It
is
n't
like
I
told
you
at
all
.
I
'm
not
married
.
I
have
n't
any
husband
at
all
.
But
,
oh
,
you
do
n't
know
what
this
means
to
me
.
My
family
!
My
father
!
My
mother
!
I
ca
n't
tell
you
.
But
I
must
get
out
of
it
.
I
must
!
I
must
!
Oh
,
you
do
n't
know
,
you
do
n't
know
!
I
must
!
I
must
!
"
She
began
to
rock
backward
and
forward
,
at
the
same
time
swaying
from
side
to
side
as
in
a
trance
.
And
Glenn
,
surprised
and
startled
by
this
sudden
demonstration
as
well
as
emotionally
affected
,
and
yet
at
the
same
time
advised
thereby
that
his
original
surmise
had
been
correct
,
and
hence
that
Roberta
had
been
lying
,
as
well
as
that
if
he
wished
to
keep
himself
out
of
this
he
must
now
assume
a
firm
and
even
heartless
attitude
,
asked
solemnly
:
"
You
are
not
married
,
you
say
?
"
