The Nut Gatherers
The Painter's Honeymoon
¡¡¡¡ "Of course I am!" she contradicted. "How can a woman be unhappy who has only been married eight weeks to a man she chose freely?" ¡¡¡¡ "'Chose freely!'" ¡¡¡¡ "Why do you repeat it? ... But I have to go back by the six o'clock train. You will be staying on here, I suppose?" ¡¡¡¡ "For a few days to wind up Aunt's affairs. This house is gone now. Shall I go to the train with you?" ¡¡¡¡ A little laugh of objection came from Sue. "I think not. You may come part of the way." ¡¡¡¡ "But stop--you can't go to-night! That train won't take you to Shaston. You must stay and go back to-morrow. Mrs. Edlin has plenty of room, if you don't like to stay here?" ¡¡¡¡ "Very well," she said dubiously. "I didn't tell him I would come for certain." ¡¡¡¡ Jude went to the widow's house adjoining, to let her know; and returning in a few minutes sat down again. ¡¡¡¡ "It is horrible how we are circumstanced, Sue--horrible!" he said abruptly, with his eyes bent to the floor. ¡¡¡¡ "No! Why?" ¡¡¡¡ "I can't tell you all my part of the gloom. Your part is that you ought not to have married him. I saw it before you had done it, but I thought I mustn't interfere. I was wrong. I ought to have!" ¡¡¡¡ "But what makes you assume all this, dear?" ¡¡¡¡ "Because--I can see you through your feathers, my poor little bird!"
