Chapter VI
She didn't speak, but her sobs were less violent; his voice growing stronger reassured her. "I'm going East, maybe to Europe; and the woman who goes with me will have nothing to do but get strong and well again. I've made you suffer so, I ought to spend the rest of my life making you happy. Come! My wife will sit with me on the deck of the steamer and see the moon rise, and walk with me by the sea, till she gets strong and happy again--till the dimples get back into her cheeks.
