You have never seen the child within
your arms perishing from hunger, and no relief to be obtained. It
has. “We have come too close together for
me to believe it. I
know I am undeserving of your bounty; but if I were to tell you what hardships I
have undergone—to what frightful extremities I have been reduced—and to
what infamy I have submitted, to earn a scanty subsistence for this child's sake,
—if you could feel what it is to stand alone in the world as I do, bereft of all who
have ever loved me, and shunned by all who have ever known me, except the
worthless and the wretched,—if you knew (and Heaven grant you may be spared
the knowledge!) how much affliction sharpens love, and how much more dear to
me my child has become for every sacrifice I have made for him,—if you were
told all this, you would, I am sure, pity rather than reproach me, because I cannot
at once consent to a separation, which I feel would break my heart. I’ll buzz
him for you. I can’t just go up to
Josh and ask him out, even though I fantasize about
doing just that all the time. A distant suggestion of chalets and a glimpse of the road set
them talking for a time of the world they had left behind.
