thing is that they don’t even know that they’re withering ’
Dorothy sat silent and listening with intent and horrified fascination She
did not even notice that he had stood up, with one hand on the door to steady
him against the swaying of the train She was as though hypnotized, not so
much by his voice as by the visions that his words had evoked m her He had
described her life, as it must inevitably be, with such dreadful fidelity that he
seemed actually to have carried her ten years onward into the menacmg future,
and she felt herself no longer a girl full of youth and energy, but a desperate,
worn virgm of thirty-eight As he went on he took her hand, which was lying
idle on the arm of the seat, and even that she scarcely noticed
‘After ten years,’ he continued, ‘your father will die, and he will leave you
with not a penny, only debts You will be nearly forty, with no money, no
profession, no chance of marrying, just a derelict parson’s daughter like the ten
thousand others m England And after that, what do you suppose will become
of you^ You will have to find yourself a job- the sort of job that parsons’
daughters get A nursery governess, for mstance, or companion to some
diseased hag who will occupy herself in thinking of ways to humiliate you Or
you will go back to school-teachmg, English mistress m some grisly
girls’
school, seventy-five pounds a year and your keep, and a fortnight in a seaside
boarding-house every August And all the time withering, drying up, growing
more sour and more angular and more friendless And therefore-’
As he said ‘therefore’ he pulled Dorothy to her feet She made no resistance
His voice had put her under a spell As her mind took m the prospect of that
forbidding future, whose emptiness she was far more able to appreciate than
he, such a despair had grown in her that if she had spoken at all it would have
been to say, ‘Yes, I will marry you ’ He put his arm very gently about her and
drew her a little towards him, and even now she did not attempt to resist Her
eyes, half hypnotized, were fixed upon his When he put his arm about her it
was as though he were protecting her, sheltering her, drawing her away from
the brink of grey, deadly poverty and back to the world of friendly and
desirable things-to security and ease, to comely houses and good clothes, to
books and friends and flowers, to summer days and distant lands So for nearly
a minute the fat, debauched bachelor and the thin, spmstensh girl stood face to
face, their eyes meeting, their bodies all but touching, while the tram swayed
them in its motion, and clouds and telegraph poles and bud-misted hedges and
fields green with young wheat raced past unseen,
Mr Warburton tightened his grip and pulled her against him It broke the
spell The visions that had held her helpless-visions of poverty and of escape
from poverty-suddenly vanished and left only a shocked realization of what
was happening to her She was m the arms of a man-a fattish, oldish man' A"
wave of disgust and deadly fear went through her, and her entrails seemed to
shrink and freeze His thick male body was pressing her backwards and
downwards, has large, pink facef smooth, but to her eyes old, was bearing down
upon her own The harsh odour of maleness forced itself into her nostrils She
recoiled.

AH SUNFLOWER
Ah Sunflower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done;
Where the Youth pined away with desire,
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves, and aspire
Where my
Sunflower
wishes to go!
