¡¡¡¡ "Juey," said Sue suddenly, "go down to the station platform with this tray--there's another train coming in, I think." ¡¡¡¡ When he was gone Arabella continued: "He'll never be a beauty, will he, poor chap! Does he know I am his mother really?" ¡¡¡¡ "No. He thinks there is some mystery about his parentage--that's all. Jude is going to tell him when he is a little older." ¡¡¡¡ "But how do you come to be doing this? I am surprised." ¡¡¡¡ "It is only a temporary occupation--a fancy of ours while we are in a difficulty." ¡¡¡¡ "Then you are living with him still?" ¡¡¡¡ "Yes." ¡¡¡¡ "Married?" ¡¡¡¡ "Of course." ¡¡¡¡ "Any children?" ¡¡¡¡ "Two." ¡¡¡¡ "And another coming soon, I see." ¡¡¡¡ Sue writhed under the hard and direct questioning, and her tender little mouth began t
oil paintingo quiver. ¡¡¡¡ "Lord--I mean goodness gracious--what is there to cry about? Some folks would be proud enough!" It is not that I am ashamed--not as you think! But it seems such a terribly tragic thing to bring beings into the world-- so presumptuous--that I question my right to do it sometimes!" ¡¡¡¡ "Take it easy, my dear.... But you don't tell me why you do such a thing as this? Jude used to be a proud sort of chap-- above any business almost, leave alone keeping a standing." ¡¡¡¡ "Perhaps my husband has altered a little since then. I am sure he is not proud now!" And Sue's lips quivered again. "I am doing this because he caught a chill early in the year while putting up some stonework of a music-hall, at Quartershot, which he had to do in the rain, the work having to be executed by a fixed day. He is better than he was; but it has been a long, weary time! We have had an old widow friend with us to help us through it; but she's leaving soon."
