She
shook
her
head
and
put
her
two
large
hands
together
and
gripped
them
firmly
,
while
Clyde
stared
,
thinking
of
the
situation
and
all
that
it
might
mean
to
him
.
She
sat
there
,
quite
reduced
and
bewildered
by
her
own
peculiar
part
in
all
this
.
She
had
been
as
deceiving
as
any
one
,
really
.
And
here
was
Clyde
,
now
,
fully
informed
as
to
her
falsehoods
and
strategy
,
and
herself
looking
foolish
and
untrue
.
But
had
she
not
been
trying
to
save
him
from
all
this
--
him
and
the
others
?
And
he
was
old
enough
to
understand
that
now
.
Yet
she
now
proceeded
to
explain
why
,
and
to
say
how
dreadful
she
felt
it
all
to
be
.
At
the
same
time
,
as
she
also
explained
,
now
she
was
compelled
to
come
to
him
for
aid
in
connection
with
it
.
"
Esta
's
about
to
be
very
sick
,
"
she
went
on
suddenly
and
stiffly
,
not
being
able
,
or
at
least
willing
,
apparently
,
to
look
at
Clyde
as
she
said
it
,
and
yet
determined
to
be
as
frank
as
possible
.
"
She
'll
need
a
doctor
very
shortly
and
some
one
to
be
with
her
all
the
time
when
I
'm
not
there
.
I
must
get
money
somewhere
--
at
least
fifty
dollars
.
You
could
n't
get
me
that
much
in
some
way
,
from
some
of
your
young
men
friends
,
could
you
,
just
a
loan
for
a
few
weeks
?
You
could
pay
it
back
,
you
know
,
soon
,
if
you
would
.
You
would
n't
need
to
pay
me
anything
for
your
room
until
you
had
.
"
She
looked
at
Clyde
so
tensely
,
so
urgently
,
that
he
felt
quite
shaken
by
the
force
of
the
cogency
of
the
request
.
And
before
he
could
add
anything
to
the
nervous
gloom
which
shadowed
her
face
,
she
added
:
"
That
other
money
was
for
her
,
you
know
,
to
bring
her
back
here
after
her
--
her
"
--
she
hesitated
over
the
appropriate
word
but
finally
added
--
"
husband
left
her
there
in
Pittsburgh
.
I
suppose
she
told
you
that
.
"
"
Yes
,
she
did
,
"
replied
Clyde
,
heavily
and
sadly
.
For
after
all
,
Esta
's
condition
was
plainly
critical
,
which
was
something
that
he
had
not
stopped
to
meditate
on
before
.
"
Gee
,
Ma
,
"
he
exclaimed
,
the
thought
of
the
fifty
dollars
in
his
pocket
and
its
intended
destination
troubling
him
considerably
--
the
very
sum
his
mother
was
seeking
.
"
I
do
n't
know
whether
I
can
do
that
or
not
.
I
do
n't
know
any
of
the
boys
down
there
well
enough
for
that
.
And
they
do
n't
make
any
more
than
I
do
,
either
.
I
might
borrow
a
little
something
,
but
it
wo
n't
look
very
good
.
"
He
choked
and
swallowed
a
little
,
for
lying
to
his
mother
in
this
way
was
not
easy
.
In
fact
,
he
had
never
had
occasion
to
lie
in
connection
with
anything
so
trying
--
and
so
despicably
.
For
here
was
fifty
dollars
in
his
pocket
at
the
moment
,
with
Hortense
on
the
one
hand
and
his
mother
and
sister
on
the
other
,
and
the
money
would
solve
his
mother
's
problem
as
fully
as
it
would
Hortense
's
,
and
more
respectably
.
How
terrible
it
was
not
to
help
her
.
How
could
he
refuse
her
,
really
?
Nervously
he
licked
his
lips
and
passed
a
hand
over
his
brow
,
for
a
nervous
moisture
had
broken
out
upon
his
face
.
He
felt
strained
and
mean
and
incompetent
under
the
circumstances
.
"
And
you
have
n't
any
money
of
your
own
right
now
that
you
could
let
me
have
,
have
you
?
"
his
mother
half
pleaded
.
For
there
were
a
number
of
things
in
connection
with
Esta
's
condition
which
required
immediate
cash
and
she
had
so
little
.
"
No
,
I
have
n't
,
Ma
,
"
he
said
,
looking
at
his
mother
shamefacedly
,
for
a
moment
,
then
away
,
and
if
it
had
not
been
that
she
herself
was
so
distrait
,
she
might
have
seen
the
falsehood
on
his
face
.
As
it
was
,
he
suffered
a
pang
of
commingled
self-commiseration
and
self-contempt
,
based
on
the
distress
he
felt
for
his
mother
.
He
could
not
bring
himself
to
think
of
losing
Hortense
.
He
must
have
her
.
And
yet
his
mother
looked
so
lone
and
so
resourceless
.
It
was
shameful
.
He
was
low
,
really
mean
.
Might
he
not
,
later
,
be
punished
for
a
thing
like
this
?
He
tried
to
think
of
some
other
way
--
some
way
of
getting
a
little
money
over
and
above
the
fifty
that
might
help
.
If
only
he
had
a
little
more
time
--
a
few
weeks
longer
.
If
only
Hortense
had
not
brought
up
this
coat
idea
just
now
.
