CHAPTER XXXVI.
A few days after, she was
S uite well enough to get up; the
octor told her to do so in the
morning, but after looking out
into the day she lay down again.
She was not quite ready for life
yet; here, in her bed, she was
more or less aloof from it, but
after a fev. hours, restless think
ing, getting up, and lunch, came
to be a distinct relief.
Directly after lunch she went
out for a drive, and when she
returned, and had got into her
tea gown, she went down to her
boudoir and threw herself on
the sofa with a weary little
laugh.
“Why can’tlrestorsew? Why
will my body not get as tirjd as
my brain? I could move a hun
dred weight this minute.”
She got up and moved, with
hardly any exertion, a great
cabinet that would have tried
the strength of a fair-sized man.
“Humphrey declared I could
not,” she said, laughing again.
“Qru! I can’t sit here and think.
I wonder where is Humphrey—
I believe 1 should like to ride a
race, or spend an hour on a
switch-back railway!”
She went down and wandered
from room to room, until at last
she found herself at the door of
Strange’s den. With a sudden
wilful impulse she opened the
door and went in. Every win
dow was open, and the soft,
cool air was playing high* jinks
among the curtains.
Strange had brought his col
lection of odds and ends from
his chambers, and had scattered
them through the room in a
sort of orderly disorder. The
floor was stained and spread
with an amazing collection of
skins. In his divings into stud
ios he had learned the com
fort and use of screens; the'-e
were several in the room, kept
well out of the way of knees
and shoulders.
“How hospitable those chairs
look!” she said, feeling one.
“Does he loose all his right hand
gloves, I wonder! Do all men?
As a matter of fact 1 know so
little of men or of their ways!
This is a clean, self-respecting
room, I wonder I never took any
notice of it belore! Ah, another
screen.”
She moved it aside and found
an alcove where an easel stood,
and on this a picture hidden by
primrose and chesnut silk.
“The way that drapery falls
is quite different from anything
else,” said Gwen stepping back
a pace or two, “why won’t my
tea gowns go like that?”
Something suggested to her
just then to pry no further, but
she swept the suggestion aside
with the draperies, and saw be
fore her her own painted image.
For one moment she felt inclin
ed to rip the canvas from end
to end, and to kill once for all
the look of motherhood in the
woman’s eyes.
“This wretch!” she muttered
at last, “so she's in the house!
As if I hadn’t enough to handi
cap me without her!”
She turned away with a look
of loathing and jealous hatred,
and sat down.
After a little she got up slow
ly and turned to leave the room,
then almost in spite of herself
she went back to the picture
and began again her angry, ea
ger inspection of it.
As she stood with her head
thrown back and her hands
clenched involuntarily, her hus
band came in. He did not see
her for a minute; when he did,
he stopped, and watched her.
It was a revelation and a
shock to see her in this aband
onment of jealous anger. He
rustled a book on the table to
arouse her and quoted, laugh
ing:
“Wher<* the apple reddens, never
pry!
Lest we lose our Eden—Eve and I.”—
She moved quickly aside into
the shade.
“When did this come?” she
asked, in a low constrained
voice.
“Brydon sent it a few days
ago. You are better?”
“I am quite well, thank you.”
“The doctor thinks directly
you can travel we had better go
into the country.”
She flung a swift furtive look
at him. “How much does he
know, I wonder?”
“Won’t you sit down?” he
asked, putting a soft low chair
within her reach, “and may I
•moke?”
She bent her head without
speaking, and he saw that her
hands were moving restlessly.
He lit his cigar in a leisurely
fashion; then he drew up a chair
and sat down near her and be
gan to smoke. After a time he
set to wonder bow long this re
markable vigil was going to
hold out. He was determined
to keep silence till his wife
spoke; he saw she was fighting
in her dumb concentrated way
for expression; he felt certain
some sort of an avalanche was
about to descend upon him, and
he preferred she should set it
Sliding herself. Perhaps the
girl had had too much lonely
struggle and her brain as well
as her body had weakened with
it, at any rate the fiist thought
she felt herself producing au
dibly was:
“I wish almost you were a
fool, Humphrey!”
He took his cigar out of his
mouth. “Indeed, why?”
“Because then,” 'she said,
rather desperately, “I shouldn’t
feel so altogether like one my
self!” She stood suddenly up
and looked down at him.
“Look here,” she said, “you
; aie better in every point than
11 am; you are better in brain,
you are stronger, you have seen
more, you know more, you are
better all round. If you were a
fool, you see, I could despise
you; if even you had once made
yourself ridiculous in my eyes
or had demeaned yourself, what
I have to say would come easy.”
“Come to the point at once,
Gwen,” he said. “What is it?,’
She took no notice of his re
mark, but went to the picture
and drew the covering over the
face.
“What has the doctor told
you?”
“The doctor told me nothing
definite.”
She turned away to hide her
hot face.
“You know perfectly well,”
she said in a low voice, “that I
shall be the mother of a ch'ld of
yours in some months.”
“Yes,” he said gently.
“But you do not know,” she
went on, “that this is such a
shame to me, such a deathly
burning shame, that I hate the
light, I hate the eyes of any
human creature on me, I would
like to fly in the night to some
desert place, and hide myself,”
“Are you mad, Gwen?”
“No, I am as sane as on the
day I sold myself to you for an
experiment. Can you not see,
Humphry, that I am as shamful
I, your wife, as-any one of
those women you told me of,
not one of whom you loved—
loved?” she added with an in
voluntary arising of her head.
“I am no nearer to you now,”
she went on, “than I was that
day, and yet I am to be the
mother of ybur child! Are you
dense, Humphry, or is it because
you are a man and grown
used to chatties, that you can
not see the depth of my shame
and humiliation, and the rea
sons for it?”
She faltered and swayed
slightly.
“Sit down, Gwen, sit down
at once.”
He drew up the chair to her.
“The situation seems a curious
one” he said at last, “this out
break seems to be the climax to
a long course of morbid think
ing.”
“You cannot understand,”
she said faintly.
“I confess I cannot, altogeth
er. When you married me you
were no ignorant girl—”
“Humphry,” she cried, her
eyes absolutely burning on him,
I did not think I should have to
defend myself to you in this! I
thought you would know the
absolute ignorance of girls! it
is no veiled ignorance, it is ab
solute, or else a mere vague—”
“Dear, it was a cowardly and
unjust reproach. However,
things have come to a head with
us, there is no use delaying; you
want, I gather, a senaration?”
She started.
“I thought I would like to go
home for a time—alone.”
For a minute Strange consid
ered. “This is no time for soft
ness or entreaty,” was the re
sult of his reflections.
“We need have no legal sepa
ration, Gwen—as yet,” he said,
with slow emphasis.
She trembled from head to
foot, he saw it but went on
calmly.
“You are not strong enough
now for any trouble of that sort
but later on, of course, some ar
rangements must be come to.
By the way, what will your
father and mother say of this?’,
“They will not sav anything”
she said bitterly, “tViey will si
lently wonder together in the
library.”
“And Dacre—”
“Dacre is a fool.”
“The world?”
He felt quite interested In
the answer; the shock was be-
gining to freeze the pith in him.
“I don’t think the world will
speak of me, I have no quality
it can seize on for gossip.” No
S ossip has any savor unless it
«als with sexual relations and
until now I thought I was abso
lutely sexless,” she said slowly,
looking blankly out into space.
Her face was awful, her hus
band turned away troqs it,
f'Gwen, Gwen,” he sftid at
last, coming back to her, “do
you understand what you are
doing?” ,
“I do,” she said heavily, “I
cannot bear this shame in yoqr
presence; I should lie down and
die under it. Can you think I
do this lightly, can you not un
derstand the awfulness of speak
ing such things aloud?”
I understand it all, dear, but
have you counted the cost, you
will be weak and ill, perhaps in
danger, can you bear it all? If
you finally decide to go alone to
your home I will start the same
day for Africa. I have been
asked to undertake that expedi
tion for the relief of Board, my
old friend, the missionary I told
you about. I do cot intend to
treat this resolve of yours as a
freak, Gwen, or to give it the
grace of one. You are a strong
woman and from your owu
poiut of view, sane. Once
again, have you counted the
cost?”
“I have lived virtually alone
all my lite,” she said; I think I
can bear sickness and pain
alone. Humphrey, Humphrey,
let me make one excuse for my
self. I did not know what mar
riage was when I tried the ex
periment.”
He looked down on her up
turned face with a great tender
ness.
“I don’t blame you, dear.
You are sinning terribly, but
you know not what you do.
Your sin is unnatural, for it is
against yourself; you have let a
morbid spot in you grow sick to
rottenness, and as time goes on,
child, you will suffer as few wo
men know how to suffer; you
are sinning ignorantly, and
your punishment will come, but
from another hand than mine.
But there is ode thing I will
speak of,” he said, with grave
sternness, “see that you are not
ashamed of your motherhood.
Forget, if you like, that the
child is in part mine, do not for
get that it is wholly yours, bone
of your bone, flesh of yourflesn;
beware, at least, of sinning
knowingly. You have had a
warning, Gwen, in this, profit
by it, don’t let this child grow
up without knowing the every
day uses of a mother. Don’t
let any other human creature
suffer in this as you have suf
fered.”
Gwen listened to him with
bent head, and every word drop
ped into her soul like molten
lead.
There was an awful resistless
finality in every word of his, in
every tone. He had to stoop to
catch her answer, and her face
was almost livid.
• “I will try and be a good
mother; I have no wish to fail
in every relation of life.”
“Don’t move until I return,”
said her husband. He went in
to the dinning-room and brought
back some wine. She turned
on him a look of dumb protest,
but she drank it. “And now,
come to this sofa and lie down.”
She obeyed him as if she were
in a dream, wishing with vague
paiq that he would touch her,
even if it were only once.
After a few minutes she turn
ed from the light to shut out his
face. He heard her, and drew
down the blind softly; he seem
ed to her all-hearing as well as
all-seeing.
Oh, it only he were a fool!”
she cried to herself, “I might
endure it.”
The room was cool and still,
and the lowered blinds flapping
lazily in the breeze were like a
lullaby Gwen was worn out
body and mind, and as she lay
in the coolness, her hurt heart
stopped writhing, her poor fool
ish shame ceased to burn, her
fingers relaxed softly and for
got to clench themselves, and
at last she fell asleep like a tired
child.
Her husband went softly to
the sofa, she started slightly,
and a twist of pain came into
her brow. He smiled grimly.
“Even in her sleep” he mut
tered,” “and I am ready to
swear that all the time it is only
an idea. And now this child—
the best shot in my locker,
seems about to run an awful
mucker in the business. Ah,
Gwen, if you only knew what
you cast from you in your
splendid way!—Ah well, there’s
one satisfaction; if you’re not
mine, my Gwen, you’re no
man’s. Ah, my poor Gwen, my
darling, God keep you!”
He stooped down over her
and for a minute Ot two let her
breath come and go on his
cheek; then he stood up and
went to his writing-table, and
let his face fall heavily into his
hands
When he looked up at a slight
soft rustle of silk, there had
gone out of it for ever the look
of cool buoyant youth, which
was its distinguishing character
istic.
When Gwen awoke the blinds
were up and it was dusk, and
the tea had just been brought
in.
“Three hours at the very
east,” she thought with much
discomfort, as she sipped her
tea, “and watched by him the
whole time!
When she had finished her
tea she was raising to leave the
room
Her husband stopped her.
“Will you sit down again fir
a few minutes?”
“The dressing bell has gone,’*
she said unwillingly.
“That doesn’t matter,” he
said, “we can be late for once.
I fancy,” he went on coolly,
“that your pride is of a sujfl.
oiently rational and well-br<*l
order not to think itself obliged
to make any difficulties about
money matter.”
“I will do as you wish in the
matters.”
“And if any emergency arises
requiring your interference, will
you consent to act?”
“Yes,” she said simply.
“And now”, he said, “comes
the question of how this busi
ness is to be presented to the
world.”
She raised her head impatient
ly. “The world won’t trouble
itself wi«h me.”
“You'll escape better than
most women, but you won’t get
off scot-free; you are a woman
and the world is the world. I
will make the matter right at
the ,Clubs;"youi want .to/go to
your mother for a short time,
and I wish to go to Africa where
delays are apt to Joccur, and I
have a convenient reputation
for vagabondage. If I were you
I would immediately inform
every woman of your acquain
tance of our arrangement in a
candid| spirit of information.
And, Gwen, as the most awful
misfortune that ever befell a
child is to be cast on the world
without a mother, see that your
care for this mother’s, health,
and when the time of peril
comes for her life, is as great as
mine would be.”
“I shall not betray your trust
in any way,” she said quietly.
“I shall not trouble you to
write; I shall find other means
of hearing of you. But even if
you are dying, Gwen, and I
know it, l shall not come to you
unless you distinctly and in
your right mind ask me to do
so; then, dear, I shall come;
otherwise, and later on, we can
make definite arrangements.
Good bye, Gwen, good bye,
dear.”
He went to the door and held
it open to let her pass.
She paused and turned her
two sad eyes on him.
“Go, child,” he said gently,
“go quickly.”
When she had gone he locked
the door and fell on the sofa,
still warm from her sleeping
body, and fought down his
agony in decent silence. Then
he washed and dressed, and
went down to his dinner.
