And
she
,
not
quite
knowing
how
to
pass
over
the
nature
of
her
condition
,
or
to
confess
it
,
either
,
was
puzzled
what
to
say
.
Something
had
to
be
done
.
For
Clyde
could
see
for
himself
that
her
predicament
was
dreadful
.
She
could
scarcely
bear
the
look
of
his
inquiring
eyes
.
And
more
to
extricate
herself
than
her
mother
,
she
finally
observed
,
"
Poor
Mamma
.
You
must
n't
think
it
strange
of
her
,
Clyde
.
572
She
does
n't
know
what
to
do
,
you
see
,
really
.
It
's
all
my
fault
,
of
course
.
If
I
had
n't
run
away
,
I
would
n't
have
caused
her
all
this
trouble
.
She
has
so
little
to
do
with
and
she
's
always
had
such
a
hard
time
.
"
She
turned
her
back
to
him
suddenly
,
and
her
shoulders
began
to
tremble
and
her
sides
to
heave
.
She
put
her
hands
to
her
face
and
bent
her
head
low
--
and
then
he
knew
that
she
was
silently
crying
.
573
"
Oh
,
come
now
,
sis
,
"
exclaimed
Clyde
,
drawing
near
to
her
instantly
and
feeling
intensely
sorry
for
her
at
the
moment
.
"
What
's
the
matter
?
What
do
you
want
to
cry
for
?
Did
n't
that
man
that
you
went
away
with
marry
you
?

She
shook
her
head
negatively
and
sobbed
the
more
.
And
in
that
instant
there
came
to
Clyde
the
real
psychological
as
well
as
sociological
and
biological
import
of
his
sister
's
condition
.
She
was
in
trouble
,
pregnant
--
and
with
no
money
and
no
husband
.
That
was
why
his
mother
had
been
looking
for
a
room
.
That
was
why
she
had
tried
to
borrow
a
hundred
dollars
from
him
.
She
was
ashamed
of
Esta
and
her
condition
.
She
was
ashamed
of
not
only
what
people
outside
the
family
would
think
,
but
of
what
he
and
Julia
and
Frank
might
think
--
the
effect
of
Esta
's
condition
upon
them
perhaps
--
because
it
was
not
right
,
unmoral
,
as
people
saw
it
.
And
for
that
reason
she
had
been
trying
to
conceal
it
,
telling
stories
about
it
--
a
most
amazing
and
difficult
thing
for
her
,
no
doubt
.
And
yet
,
because
of
poor
luck
,
she
had
n't
succeeded
very
well
.
575
And
now
he
was
again
confused
and
puzzled
,
not
only
by
his
sister
's
condition
and
what
it
meant
to
him
and
the
other
members
of
the
family
here
in
Kansas
City
,
but
also
by
his
mother
's
disturbed
and
somewhat
unmoral
attitude
in
regard
to
deception
in
this
instance
.
She
had
evaded
if
not
actually
deceived
him
in
regard
to
all
this
,
for
she
knew
Esta
was
here
all
the
time
.
At
the
same
time
he
was
not
inclined
to
be
too
unsympathetic
in
that
respect
toward
her
--
far
from
it
.
For
such
deception
in
such
an
instance
had
to
be
,
no
doubt
,
even
where
people
were
as
religious
and
truthful
as
his
mother
,
or
so
he
thought
.
You
could
n't
just
let
people
know
.
He
certainly
would
n't
want
to
let
people
know
about
Esta
,
if
he
could
help
it
.
What
would
they
think
?
What
would
they
say
about
her
and
him
?
Was
n't
the
general
state
of
his
family
low
enough
,
as
it
was
?
And
so
,
now
he
stood
,
staring
and
puzzled
the
while
Esta
cried
.
And
she
realizing
that
he
was
puzzled
and
ashamed
,
because
of
her
,
cried
the
more
.
576
"
Gee
,
that
is
tough
,
"
said
Clyde
,
troubled
,
and
yet
fairly
sympathetic
after
a
time
.
"
You
would
n't
have
run
away
with
him
unless
you
cared
for
him
though
--
would
you
?
"
(
He
was
thinking
of
himself
and
Hortense
Briggs
.
)
"
I
'm
sorry
for
you
,
Ess
.
Sure
,
I
am
,
but
it
wo
n't
do
you
any
good
to
cry
about
it
now
,
will
it
?
There
's
lots
of
other
fellows
in
the
world
beside
him
.
You
'll
come
out
of
it
all
right
.
"
577
"
Oh
,
I
know
,
"
sobbed
Esta
,
"
but
I
've
been
so
foolish
.
And
I
've
had
such
a
hard
time
.

578
And
now
I
've
brought
all
this
trouble
on
Mamma
and
all
of
you
.
"
She
choked
and
hushed
a
moment
.
"
He
went
off
and
left
me
in
a
hotel
in
Pittsburgh
without
any
money
,
"
she
added
.
"
And
if
it
had
n't
been
for
Mamma
,
I
do
n't
know
what
I
would
have
done
.
She
sent
me
a
hundred
dollars
when
I
wrote
her
.
I
worked
for
a
while
in
a
restaurant
--
as
long
as
I
could
.
I
did
n't
want
to
write
home
and
say
that
he
had
left
me
.
I
was
ashamed
to
.
But
I
did
n't
know
what
else
to
do
there
toward
the
last
,
when
I
began
feeling
so
bad
.
"
579
She
began
to
cry
again
;
and
Clyde
,
realizing
all
that
his
mother
had
done
and
sought
to
do
to
assist
her
,
felt
almost
as
sorry
now
for
his
mother
as
he
did
for
Esta
--
more
so
,
for
Esta
had
her
mother
to
look
after
her
and
his
mother
had
almost
no
one
to
help
her
.
580
"
I
ca
n't
work
yet
,
because
I
wo
n't
be
able
to
for
a
while
,
"
she
went
on
.
"
And
Mamma
does
n't
want
me
to
come
home
now
because
she
does
n't
want
Julia
or
Frank
or
you
to
know
.
And
that
's
right
,
too
,
I
know
.
Of
course
it
is
.
And
she
has
n't
got
anything
and
I
have
n't
.
And
I
get
so
lonely
here
,
sometimes
.
"
Her
eyes
filled
and
she
began
to
choke
again
.
"
And
I
've
been
so
foolish
.
"
