But presently he did fall asleep, and Dot,
AFRAID OF disturbing him, crouched beside him
with her head beside his head All the doubts
were over now, it was true. The worst was
true. And he took it like this! Surely the acct
dent must have affected his reason. He had
been so unrepentant, had thought so lightly or
the moral aspect of what he had DONE Oh! il
was clear enough that he loved her, that he
was relieved to find her dutiful and complacent,
but what manner of man was he, this husband
OF hers! Had he no conscience? She had ex.
pected humility, mea culpas, prayers for par
don. He had offered her none of these, had ac-
cepted her love and her caresses without CON-
junction, had dsinherited her son without
word. Oh, what manner of man was he?
Pat, still asleep, turned toward her, threw
an arm across her shoulder and Struggled his
head into the hollow of her neck. For an in
slant she thought Of casting him from her. Of
springing up and denouncing him, of forcing
him to see the enormity of what he had done.
Then she remembered the physicians warn.
ings. She gathered Pat into her embrace and
began to cry silently, quietly, as if her heart
would break.
