Once inside her | | little apartment she dropped her hat and coat on a chair and sank wearily on the davenport. She sat there, not moving. She sat there, hardly thinking. It was as if a part of her had died. Then gradually, as the fatigue of the day wore off, she began fo 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.
