It was as if a part of her had died. : Then gradually, as the fatigue of the day wore off, she began to think again of her life with Stephen Fowler. It seemed such a large part of her life, this part she had spent with him almost always in her thoughts. And when she told herself, “It was only four years. .. and with every hour those four years will grow less important,” she could not really believe it. > Judith rose at last, bathed her face in cold water and slipped into a cool frock.

suddenly, “you couldn't have meant what you said this noon.” “I did mean it, though.” eyes met his unflinchingly. “Then you haven't changed your mood?” He reached for his hat. “And if you haven't changed your mood there's no use in my trying to talk this out with you now.” “It isn’t a mood, Steve—and it isn’t a question- of: talking it out.

But I'm not going to let it blind me to the fact that I mustn't try to have what I've no right to have. Can't you understand that?” : Judith’'s shoulders sagged.
