After a long bout of hostility; Anna at last closed with him。

She had now four children; all girls。 For seven years she had

been absorbed in wifehood and motherhood。 For years he had gone

on beside her; never really encroaching upon her。 Then gradually

another self seemed to assert its being within him。 He was still

silent and separate。 But she could feel him all the while ing

near upon her; as if his breast and his body were threatening

her; and he was always ing closer。 Gradually he became

indifferent of responsibility。 He would do what pleased him; and

no more。

He began to go away from home。 He went to Nottingham on

a fresh plexion and an upper lip that lifted from her teeth;

so that; when she was not conscious; her mouth was slightly open

and her lips pressed outwards in a kind of blind appeal。 She was

strongly aware of the man next to her; so that all her body was

begin with her to live the other; the unadmitted life of his

desire? Why not? He had always been so good。 Save for his wife;

he was a virgin。 And why; when all women were different? Why;

when he would only live once? He wanted the other life。 His own

life was barren; not enough。 He wanted the other。

Her open mouth; showing the small; irregular; white teeth;

appealed to him。 It was open and ready。 It was so vulnerable。

Why should he not go in and enjoy what was there? The slim arm

that went down so still and motionless to the lap; it was

pretty。 She would be small; he would be able almost to hold her
