This Freedom
Hutchinson, A. S. M. (Arthur Stuart-Menteth)
Marriage -- Fiction; Women -- Social and moral questions -- Fiction
There was to have been some more of it; but there, they’re in each
other’s arms, and one has suffered so with them one cannot any more go
on. One’s suffered so! One has looked backward with her. The heart must
break but for a forward glimpse:--
They’re all right now. Huggo’s in Canada. He writes every week. They’re
all right now. That other Rosalie that they brought in is looking after
them. She’s looking after them, that elf, that sprite, that tricksy
scrap, that sunshine thing. She calls Harry father and Rosalie she
calls mother. She has all her meals with them. There’s no nurse.
It’s breakfast she loves best. She’s on the itch all breakfast. When
breakfast’s done she’s off her chair and hopping. She trumpets in
her tiny voice, “Lessons! Lessons!” She trumpets in her tiny voice,
“Lessons, lessons! On mother’s knee! On mother’s knee!”
