The Virgin and Child with St Anne
The Water lily Pond
Venus and Cupid
Sue had dragged herself back. "Mrs. Edlin, good-night again! I am sorry I called you out." The widow retreated a second time. ¡¡¡¡ The strained, resigned look returned to Sue's face when she was alone. "I must do it--I must! I must drink to the dregs!" she whispered. "Richard!" she said again. ¡¡¡¡ "Hey--what? Is that you, Susanna?" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes." ¡¡¡¡ "What do you want? Anything the matter? Wait a moment." He pulled on some articles of clothing, and came to the door. "Yes?" ¡¡¡¡ "When we were at Shaston I jumped out of the window rather than that you should come near me. I have never reversed that treatment till now-- when I have come to beg your pardon for it, and ask you to let me in." ¡¡¡¡ "Perhaps you only think you ought to do this? I don't wish you to come against your impulses, as I have said." ¡¡¡¡ "But I beg to be admitted." She waited a moment, and repeated, "I beg to be admitted! I have been in error--even to-day. I have exceeded my rights. I did not mean to tell you, but perhaps I ought. I sinned against you this afternoon."
