I Luclla looked out OF the window.
The most desolate sight she had ever
seen was out there. The background
for the horrible piles of rubbish was
the dismal row Of tenemcnts with the
back yard staircases like external
skeletons proclaimlng the degradation
OF the tenement dwellers In the tat
tered clothing hung out TO dry. The
drariness of II all smote Luella like n
horror. To live In an eternal conflict
with evil like that represented by Tom
my Randall. to miss the bright. pretty,
comfortable life into which she had
been born; to spend her days and
nights I'm trying to love disagreeahlc
ungratcful humanity-an this seemed
like nightmare 20 her Vet there
stood the man she loved moro than any
other: she could not rcrusc to believe
in his nobility his courage his ursclf-
