Would
it
not
be
better
not
to
tell
your
father
?
Let
me
see
Martin
Eden
,
and
talk
with
him
,
and
explain
.
He
will
understand
and
release
you
.
"
"
No
!
no
!
"
Ruth
cried
,
starting
up
.
"
I
do
not
want
to
be
released
.
I
love
him
,
and
love
is
very
sweet
.
I
am
going
to
marry
him
—
of
course
,
if
you
will
let
me
.
"
"
We
have
other
plans
for
you
,
Ruth
,
dear
,
your
father
and
I
—
oh
,
no
,
no
;
no
man
picked
out
for
you
,
or
anything
like
that
.
Our
plans
go
no
farther
than
your
marrying
some
man
in
your
own
station
in
life
,
a
good
and
honorable
gentleman
,
whom
you
will
select
yourself
,
when
you
love
him
.

"
But
I
love
Martin
already
,
"
was
the
plaintive
protest
.
"
We
would
not
influence
your
choice
in
any
way
;
but
you
are
our
daughter
,
and
we
could
not
bear
to
see
you
make
a
marriage
such
as
this
.
He
has
nothing
but
roughness
and
coarseness
to
offer
you
in
exchange
for
all
that
is
refined
and
delicate
in
you
.
He
is
no
match
for
you
in
any
way
.
He
could
not
support
you
.
We
have
no
foolish
ideas
about
wealth
,
but
comfort
is
another
matter
,
and
our
daughter
should
at
least
marry
a
man
who
can
give
her
that
—
and
not
a
penniless
adventurer
,
a
sailor
,
a
cowboy
,
a
smuggler
,
and
Heaven
knows
what
else
,
who
,
in
addition
to
everything
,
is
hare
-
brained
and
irresponsible
.
"
Ruth
was
silent
.
Every
word
she
recognized
as
true
.
"
He
wastes
his
time
over
his
writing
,
trying
to
accomplish
what
geniuses
and
rare
men
with
college
educations
sometimes
accomplish
.
A
man
thinking
of
marriage
should
be
preparing
for
marriage
.
But
not
he
.
As
I
have
said
,
and
I
know
you
agree
with
me
,
he
is
irresponsible
.
And
why
should
he
not
be
?
It
is
the
way
of
sailors
.
He
has
never
learned
to
be
economical
or
temperate
.
The
spendthrift
years
have
marked
him
.
It
is
not
his
fault
,
of
course
,
but
that
does
not
alter
his
nature
.
And
have
you
thought
of
the
years
of
licentiousness
he
inevitably
has
lived
?
Have
you
thought
of
that
,
daughter
?
You
know
what
marriage
means
.
"
Ruth
shuddered
and
clung
close
to
her
mother
.

"
I
have
thought
.
"
Ruth
waited
a
long
time
for
the
thought
to
frame
itself
.
"
And
it
is
terrible
.
It
sickens
me
to
think
of
it
.
I
told
you
it
was
a
dreadful
accident
,
my
loving
him
;
but
I
can
’
t
help
myself
.
Could
you
help
loving
father
?
Then
it
is
the
same
with
me
.
There
is
something
in
me
,
in
him
—
I
never
knew
it
was
there
until
to
-
day
—
but
it
is
there
,
and
it
makes
me
love
him
.
I
never
thought
to
love
him
,
but
,
you
see
,
I
do
,
"
she
concluded
,
a
certain
faint
triumph
in
her
voice
.
They
talked
long
,
and
to
little
purpose
,
in
conclusion
agreeing
to
wait
an
indeterminate
time
without
doing
anything
.
The
same
conclusion
was
reached
,
a
little
later
that
night
,
between
Mrs
.
Morse
and
her
husband
,
after
she
had
made
due
confession
of
the
miscarriage
of
her
plans
.
