And he tried to worm out of her her secret. But he could not. Thefascinating little liar stoutly stuck to it that nothing was the matterwith her, and that she had nothing on her mind. Stephen knewdifferently. He consulted Charlie Woodruff. She had not made a confidantof Charlie. Charlie was exactly as much in the dark as Stephen. ThenStephen (I regret to have to say it) took to swearing. For instance, heswore when she hid all his thin socks and so obliged him to continuewith his thick ones. And... one day he swore when, in answer to his querywhy she was pale, she said she didn't know. He thus, without expecting to do so, achieved a definite climax. For she broke out. She ceased in half a second to be pale. She gave himwith cutting candour all that had been bottled up in her entrancingbosom. She told him that the witch had foreseen her a widow (which wasthe same thing as prophesying his death), and that she had done, and wasdoing, all that the ingenuity of a loving heart could suggest to keephim alive in spite of the prediction, but that, in face of his infamousbrutality, she should do no more; that if he chose to die and leave hera widow he might die and leave her a widow for all she cared; in brief, that she had done with him.
