I thought he had told you. (VERA: When was it?) Thirty-four--thirty-five years ago; before he went to India. I loved him long before your mother did. (VERA: You say you loved the child. Didn't you hate him for it?) Hate him? No. I was half mad, I think. I used to watch his face. If there had been a single shadow on it, I think I should have hated him. But he never changed. He was always untroubled, and his eyes were always true and fearless! Then I knew he could bear all my burdens, and I need fear nothing any more.
