Excerpt: ... hand. And now it has come in a new way, he said, quietly, through your pity and your generosity and your faith. But it has come. What Jarvis Thornton replied was neither coherent nor weighty. He flung aside the idea of pity or generosity as absurd. He loved this woman for herself, because, because he loved her. His father smiled a sad, kind smile. The mother does not seem to have added much to the blood. He threw this out in order to get the subject back into more reasonable channels. No, she is a weak woman. But what of it? I don''t marry the family. We shall leave them and build a new life, and break the curse. He smiled, slightly. Granting your beliefs that no harm would come to your children, that it is all chance about these matters, persisted the father, still you cannot escape the family. You marry the conditions; they will remain with you. They, if nothing else, will ruin your life. The younger man rose as if to shake off a physical bandage. For the first time in his life he felt conscious of a rebellion with the elemental conditions of existence. What if it does mean corruption and misery! I want my joy, my life, even if they write ''Failure'' at the bottom of my page. No, no! his father protested. You will take the pain all right and the consequences like a man, but you will never believe that swinish statement you have just made. This brought the younger man to his calmer mood. I hate them, he said, bitterly, more than you can; but her I love. And to her you will sacrifice all? His father looked at him searchingly, longingly. Yes, if need be, all, but you! The old man smiled coolly. I shall not count long, and you are independent, anyway. But I don''t care to put the matter on such a footing. We have not lived that way. I will do whatever you desire, the son said, except Robert Herrick, Books, History, The Man Who Wins Books>History The book has no illustrations or index.
