Why
,
you
haven
’
t
anything
to
eat
,
you
poor
dear
,
"
she
said
with
tender
compassion
.
"
You
must
be
starving
.
"
"
I
store
my
food
in
Maria
’
s
safe
and
in
her
pantry
,
"
he
lied
.
"
It
keeps
better
there
.
No
danger
of
my
starving
.
Look
at
that
.
"
She
had
come
back
to
his
side
,
and
she
saw
him
double
his
arm
at
the
elbow
,
the
biceps
crawling
under
his
shirt
-
sleeve
and
swelling
into
a
knot
of
muscle
,
heavy
and
hard
.
The
sight
repelled
her
.
Sentimentally
,
she
disliked
it
.
But
her
pulse
,
her
blood
,
every
fibre
of
her
,
loved
it
and
yearned
for
it
,
and
,
in
the
old
,
inexplicable
way
,
she
leaned
toward
him
,
not
away
from
him
.

And
in
the
moment
that
followed
,
when
he
crushed
her
in
his
arms
,
the
brain
of
her
,
concerned
with
the
superficial
aspects
of
life
,
was
in
revolt
;
while
the
heart
of
her
,
the
woman
of
her
,
concerned
with
life
itself
,
exulted
triumphantly
.
It
was
in
moments
like
this
that
she
felt
to
the
uttermost
the
greatness
of
her
love
for
Martin
,
for
it
was
almost
a
swoon
of
delight
to
her
to
feel
his
strong
arms
about
her
,
holding
her
tightly
,
hurting
her
with
the
grip
of
their
fervor
.
At
such
moments
she
found
justification
for
her
treason
to
her
standards
,
for
her
violation
of
her
own
high
ideals
,
and
,
most
of
all
,
for
her
tacit
disobedience
to
her
mother
and
father
.
They
did
not
want
her
to
marry
this
man
.
It
shocked
them
that
she
should
love
him
.
It
shocked
her
,
too
,
sometimes
,
when
she
was
apart
from
him
,
a
cool
and
reasoning
creature
.
With
him
,
she
loved
him
—
in
truth
,
at
times
a
vexed
and
worried
love
;
but
love
it
was
,
a
love
that
was
stronger
than
she
.
"
This
La
Grippe
is
nothing
,
"
he
was
saying
.
"
It
hurts
a
bit
,
and
gives
one
a
nasty
headache
,
but
it
doesn
’
t
compare
with
break
-
bone
fever
.
"
"
Have
you
had
that
,
too
?
"
she
queried
absently
,
intent
on
the
heaven
-
sent
justification
she
was
finding
in
his
arms
.
And
so
,
with
absent
queries
,
she
led
him
on
,
till
suddenly
his
words
startled
her
.

He
had
had
the
fever
in
a
secret
colony
of
thirty
lepers
on
one
of
the
Hawaiian
Islands
.
"
But
why
did
you
go
there
?
"
she
demanded
.
Such
royal
carelessness
of
body
seemed
criminal
.
