〃All right。〃
〃Is it all right?〃
〃Of course。〃
〃I did everything。 I took everything but it didnt make any difference。〃
〃Im not worried。〃
〃I couldnt help it; darling; and I havent worried about it。 You mustnt worry or feel badly。〃
〃I only worry about you。〃
〃Thats it。 Thats what you mustnt do。 People have babies all the time。 Everybody has babies。 Its a natural thing。〃
〃Youre pretty wonderful。〃
〃No Im not。 But you mustnt mind; darling。 Ill try and not make trouble for you。 I know Ive made trouble now。 But havent I been a good girl until now? You never knew it; did you?〃
〃No。〃
〃It will all be like that。 You simply mustnt worry。 I can see youre worrying。 Stop it。 Stop it right away。 Wouldnt you like a drink; darling? I know a drink always makes you feel cheerful。〃
〃No。 I feel cheerful。 And youre pretty wonderful。〃
〃No Im not。 But Ill fix everything to be together if you pick out a place for us to go。 It ought to be lovely in October。 Well have a lovely time; darling; and Ill write you every day while youre at the front。〃
〃Where will you be?〃
〃I dont know yet。 But somewhere splendid。 Ill look after all that。〃
We were quiet awhile and did not talk。 Catherine was sitting on the bed and I was looking at her but we did not touch each other。 We were apart as when some one es into a room and people are self…conscious。 She put out her hand and took mine。
〃You arent angry are you; darling?〃
〃No。〃
〃And you dont feel trapped?〃
〃Maybe a little。 But not by you。〃
〃I didnt mean by me。 You mustnt be stupid。 I meant trapped at all。〃
〃You always feel trapped biologically。〃
She went away a long way without stirring or removing her hand。
〃Always isnt a pretty word。〃
〃Im sorry。〃
〃Its all right。 But you see Ive never had a baby and Ive never even loved any one。 And Ive tried to be the way you wanted and then you talk about always。〃
〃I could cut off my tongue;〃 I offered。
〃Oh; darling!〃 she came back from wherever she had been。 〃You mustnt mind me。〃 We were both together again and the self…consciousness was gone。 〃We really are the same one and we mustnt misunderstand on purpose。〃
〃We wont。〃
〃But people do。 They love each other and they misunderstand on purpose and they fight and then suddenly they arent the same one。〃
〃We wont fight。〃
〃We mustnt。 Because theres only us two and in the world theres all the rest of them。 If anything es between us were gone and then they have us。〃
〃They wont get us;〃 I said。 〃Because youre too brave。 Nothing ever happens to the brave。〃
〃They die of course。〃
