"
But
father
,
"
protested
Aileen
,
who
was
a
little
distraught
at
the
thought
of
having
to
listen
to
a
long
preachment
which
would
relate
to
her
duty
to
God
and
the
Church
and
her
family
and
her
mother
and
him
.
She
realized
that
all
these
were
important
in
their
way
;
but
Cowperwood
and
his
point
of
view
had
given
her
another
outlook
on
life
.
They
had
discussed
this
matter
of
families
--
parents
,
children
,
husbands
,
wives
,
brothers
,
sisters
--
from
almost
every
point
of
view
.
Cowperwood
's
laissez-faire
attitude
had
permeated
and
colored
her
mind
completely
.
She
saw
things
through
his
cold
,
direct
"
I
satisfy
myself
"
attitude
.
He
was
sorry
for
all
the
little
differences
of
personality
that
sprang
up
between
people
,
causing
quarrels
,
bickerings
,
oppositions
,
and
separation
;
but
they
could
not
be
helped
.
People
outgrew
each
other
.
Their
points
of
view
altered
at
varying
ratios
--
hence
changes
.
Morals
--
those
who
had
them
had
them
;
those
who
had
n't
,
had
n't
.
There
was
no
explaining
.
As
for
him
,
he
saw
nothing
wrong
in
the
sex
relationship
.
Between
those
who
were
mutually
compatible
it
was
innocent
and
delicious
.
Aileen
in
his
arms
,
unmarried
,
but
loved
by
him
,
and
he
by
her
,
was
as
good
and
pure
as
any
living
woman
--
a
great
deal
purer
than
most
.
One
found
oneself
in
a
given
social
order
,
theory
,
or
scheme
of
things
.
For
purposes
of
social
success
,
in
order
not
to
offend
,
to
smooth
one
's
path
,
make
things
easy
,
avoid
useless
criticism
,
and
the
like
,
it
was
necessary
to
create
an
outward
seeming
--
ostensibly
conform
.
Beyond
that
it
was
not
necessary
to
do
anything
.
Never
fail
,
never
get
caught
.
If
you
did
,
fight
your
way
out
silently
and
say
nothing
.
That
was
what
he
was
doing
in
connection
with
his
present
financial
troubles
;
that
was
what
he
had
been
ready
to
do
the
other
day
when
they
were
caught
.
It
was
something
of
all
this
that
was
coloring
Aileen
's
mood
as
she
listened
at
present
.
"
But
father
,
"
she
protested
,
"
I
love
Mr.
Cowperwood
.
It
's
almost
the
same
as
if
I
were
married
to
him
.
He
will
marry
me
some
day
when
he
gets
a
divorce
from
Mrs.
Cowperwood
.
You
do
n't
understand
how
it
is
.
He
's
very
fond
of
me
,
and
I
love
him
.
He
needs
me
.
"
Butler
looked
at
her
with
strange
,
non-understanding
eyes
.
"
Divorce
,
did
you
say
,
"
he
began
,
thinking
of
the
Catholic
Church
and
its
dogma
in
regard
to
that
.
"
He
'll
divorce
his
own
wife
and
children
--
and
for
you
,
will
he
?
He
needs
you
,
does
he
?
"
he
added
,
sarcastically
.
"
What
about
his
wife
and
children
?
I
do
n't
suppose
they
need
him
,
do
they
?
What
talk
have
ye
?
"
Aileen
flung
her
head
back
defiantly
.
"
It
's
true
,
nevertheless
,
"
she
reiterated
.
"
You
just
do
n't
understand
.
"
Butler
could
scarcely
believe
his
ears
.
He
had
never
heard
such
talk
before
in
his
life
from
any
one
.
It
amazed
and
shocked
him
.
He
was
quite
aware
of
all
the
subtleties
of
politics
and
business
,
but
these
of
romance
were
too
much
for
him
.
He
knew
nothing
about
them
.
To
think
a
daughter
of
his
should
be
talking
like
this
,
and
she
a
Catholic
!
He
could
not
understand
where
she
got
such
notions
unless
it
was
from
the
Machiavellian
,
corrupting
brain
of
Cowperwood
himself
.
"
How
long
have
ye
had
these
notions
,
my
child
?
"
he
suddenly
asked
,
calmly
and
soberly
.
"
Where
did
ye
get
them
?
Ye
certainly
never
heard
anything
like
that
in
this
house
,
I
warrant
.
Ye
talk
as
though
ye
had
gone
out
of
yer
mind
.
"
"
Oh
,
do
n't
talk
nonsense
,
father
,
"
flared
Aileen
,
angrily
,
thinking
how
hopeless
it
was
to
talk
to
her
father
about
such
things
anyhow
.
"
I
'm
not
a
child
any
more
.
I
'm
twenty-four
years
of
age
.
You
just
do
n't
understand
.
Mr.
Cowperwood
does
n't
like
his
wife
.
He
's
going
to
get
a
divorce
when
he
can
,
and
will
marry
me
.
I
love
him
,
and
he
loves
me
,
and
that
's
all
there
is
to
it
.
"
"
Is
it
,
though
?
"
asked
Butler
,
grimly
determined
by
hook
or
by
crook
,
to
bring
this
girl
to
her
senses
.
"
Ye
'll
be
takin
'
no
thought
of
his
wife
and
children
then
?
The
fact
that
he
's
goin
'
to
jail
,
besides
,
is
nawthin
'
to
ye
,
I
suppose
.
Ye
'd
love
him
just
as
much
in
convict
stripes
,
I
suppose
--
more
,
maybe
.
"
(
The
old
man
was
at
his
best
,
humanly
speaking
,
when
he
was
a
little
sarcastic
.
)
"
Ye
'll
have
him
that
way
,
likely
,
if
at
all
.
"
