She
was
no
longer
so
attractive
physically
,
and
intellectually
she
was
not
Aileen
's
equal
.
Also
that
contact
with
those
women
who
had
deigned
to
grace
his
home
in
his
greatest
hour
of
prosperity
had
proved
to
him
conclusively
she
was
lacking
in
certain
social
graces
.
Aileen
was
by
no
means
so
vastly
better
,
still
she
was
young
and
amenable
and
adaptable
,
and
could
still
be
improved
.
Opportunity
as
he
now
chose
to
think
,
might
make
Aileen
,
whereas
for
Lillian
--
or
at
least
,
as
he
now
saw
it
--
it
could
do
nothing
.
"
I
'll
tell
you
how
it
is
,
Lillian
,
"
he
said
;
"
I
'm
not
sure
that
you
are
going
to
get
what
I
mean
exactly
,
but
you
and
I
are
not
at
all
well
suited
to
each
other
any
more
.
"
"
You
did
n't
seem
to
think
that
three
or
four
years
ago
,
"
interrupted
his
wife
,
bitterly
.
"
I
married
you
when
I
was
twenty-one
,
"
went
on
Cowperwood
,
quite
brutally
,
not
paying
any
attention
to
her
interruption
,
"
and
I
was
really
too
young
to
know
what
I
was
doing
.
I
was
a
mere
boy
.
It
does
n't
make
so
much
difference
about
that
.
I
am
not
using
that
as
an
excuse
.
The
point
that
I
am
trying
to
make
is
this
--
that
right
or
wrong
,
important
or
not
important
,
I
have
changed
my
mind
since
.
I
do
n't
love
you
any
more
,
and
I
do
n't
feel
that
I
want
to
keep
up
a
relationship
,
however
it
may
look
to
the
public
,
that
is
not
satisfactory
to
me
.
You
have
one
point
of
view
about
life
,
and
I
have
another
.
You
think
your
point
of
view
is
the
right
one
,
and
there
are
thousands
of
people
who
will
agree
with
you
;
but
I
do
n't
think
so
.
We
have
never
quarreled
about
these
things
,
because
I
did
n't
think
it
was
important
to
quarrel
about
them
.
I
do
n't
see
under
the
circumstances
that
I
am
doing
you
any
great
injustice
when
I
ask
you
to
let
me
go
.
I
do
n't
intend
to
desert
you
or
the
children
--
you
will
get
a
good
living-income
from
me
as
long
as
I
have
the
money
to
give
it
to
you
--
but
I
want
my
personal
freedom
when
I
come
out
of
here
,
if
ever
I
do
,
and
I
want
you
to
let
me
have
it
.
The
money
that
you
had
and
a
great
deal
more
,
once
I
am
out
of
here
,
you
will
get
back
when
I
am
on
my
feet
again
.
But
not
if
you
oppose
me
--
only
if
you
help
me
.
I
want
,
and
intend
to
help
you
always
--
but
in
my
way
.
"
He
smoothed
the
leg
of
his
prison
trousers
in
a
thoughtful
way
,
and
plucked
at
the
sleeve
of
his
coat
.
Just
now
he
looked
very
much
like
a
highly
intelligent
workman
as
he
sat
here
,
rather
than
like
the
important
personage
that
he
was
.
Mrs.
Cowperwood
was
very
resentful
.
"
That
's
a
nice
way
to
talk
to
me
,
and
a
nice
way
to
treat
me
!
"
she
exclaimed
dramatically
,
rising
and
walking
the
short
space
--
some
two
steps
--
that
lay
between
the
wall
and
the
bed
.
"
I
might
have
known
that
you
were
too
young
to
know
your
own
mind
when
you
married
me
.
Money
,
of
course
,
that
's
all
you
think
of
and
your
own
gratification
.
I
do
n't
believe
you
have
any
sense
of
justice
in
you
.
I
do
n't
believe
you
ever
had
.
You
only
think
of
yourself
,
Frank
.
I
never
saw
such
a
man
as
you
.
You
have
treated
me
like
a
dog
all
through
this
affair
;
and
all
the
while
you
have
been
running
with
that
little
snip
of
an
Irish
thing
,
and
telling
her
all
about
your
affairs
,
I
suppose
.
You
let
me
go
on
believing
that
you
cared
for
me
up
to
the
last
moment
,
and
then
you
suddenly
step
up
and
tell
me
that
you
want
a
divorce
.
I
'll
not
do
it
.
I
'll
not
give
you
a
divorce
,
and
you
need
n't
think
it
.
"
Cowperwood
listened
in
silence
.
His
position
,
in
so
far
as
this
marital
tangle
was
concerned
,
as
he
saw
,
was
very
advantageous
.
He
was
a
convict
,
constrained
by
the
exigencies
of
his
position
to
be
out
of
personal
contact
with
his
wife
for
a
long
period
of
time
to
come
,
which
should
naturally
tend
to
school
her
to
do
without
him
.
When
he
came
out
,
it
would
be
very
easy
for
her
to
get
a
divorce
from
a
convict
,
particularly
if
she
could
allege
misconduct
with
another
woman
,
which
he
would
not
deny
.
At
the
same
time
,
he
hoped
to
keep
Aileen
's
name
out
of
it
.
Mrs.
Cowperwood
,
if
she
would
,
could
give
any
false
name
if
he
made
no
contest
.
Besides
,
she
was
not
a
very
strong
person
,
intellectually
speaking
.
He
could
bend
her
to
his
will
.
There
was
no
need
of
saying
much
more
now
;
the
ice
had
been
broken
,
the
situation
had
been
put
before
her
,
and
time
should
do
the
rest
.
"
Do
n't
be
dramatic
,
Lillian
,
"
he
commented
,
indifferently
.
"
I
'm
not
such
a
loss
to
you
if
you
have
enough
to
live
on
.
I
do
n't
think
I
want
to
live
in
Philadelphia
if
ever
I
come
out
of
here
.
My
idea
now
is
to
go
west
,
and
I
think
I
want
to
go
alone
.
