To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Edith has to bear her cross, as we all must — as I have had to bear mine. There is no help for it ; life is cruel to us and we are too weak to resist. " This was Amy's one fixed thought and the principle on which her own life had been based. She and Edith were the female martyrs of circumstances — born to THE SERPENT IN EDEN. 95 suifer, the one for her hushand, the other for her brother — martyrs whose only inheritance was pain. " But she is so young, " pleaded Charley. " And I was young too,... " answered his wife, looking at him fixedly. " Yes, I know, dear ; I can never forget all that you have borne, " said Charley with a humbled look. Any allusion from Amy to what she had endured for love of him always touched him at once. " Believe me, harsh as it may seem, it is best she should suffer now instead of later, " continued Amy. " It is better to bear the pain of losing a lover than to be despised by a husband when the truth is known. " " Why should it be known ? " again insisted Charley'; " I do not see why you should be always saying it will all come out, " he added peevishly.
