The problem of her future began to
obsess her. It was plainly impossible
to stay on here-not that she feared
exposure; she was quite past fear
but the thought of going on with her
life was intolerable. To meet Ward,
to see again the scorn and loathing in
his eyes, more than all, to continue to
deserve them-those were the things

revolt Of the individual against laws
made for the masses-what had it
brought her but isolation and grief?

knew that now. There were no ex-
ceptions. And something else she had
learned: that IL one is to live through
great crises one must have a higher
power to turn to for help. She had
felt It vaguely at the time Of her IA

door she had known it. Every breath
had been q prayer to something, she
knew not what, to save him.

gentle hand.

advised extreme caution. She judged
from that that things were not going
well.
She knew that Huh's reckless crime
would demand q scaDegoat. There
