"It wasn't a year ago that 1 met him. We lived in the country, mother and I. Father was dead. Mother always had kept me so much to herself. We had few friends, and 1 never had a lover. Then he came. Mother never knew, from the time I first met him in the woods, where he was sketching. I was garlanded in flowers that day, and I was kneeling by the brook, looking at myself in the water. He told me I was beautiful and begged me to pose for him. At first I was afraid. But day after day I went to him little by little, and I forgot to fear him, and he told me he loved me, and I, oh, I never can tell you how he wound himself about my heart. He could have had my life, had he asked it. Then he went away. 1 waited for weeks, for months, but no word came. At last, to remain longer unwed, would have meant disgrace to me and a broken heart for my mother. I went to seek him. I found him in the arms of another woman, who laughed at me and ordered him to turn me out in the streets. Not a word or look of love had he for me, only anger, because I was imperiling his ambitious plans. But I felt that if I could see him alone, all would yet be right. So that night I went back to him. He was sleeping. Suddenly the memory of the other woman came between him and me, and I picked up a strange knife lying on the table, thinking to kill him as he slept and so have him for my very own. But the knife slipped to the floor. I loved him; I would renounce him forever. I turned to go, and there, in the doorway, she stood. She spoke angrily, and he woke. He flung me aside, and I fell. The knife was beside me. I can't remember the rest, only, as he turned to drive me from him, it happened." The girl's eyes closed. The priest stooped to catch the last, faint whisper: "His child dies with me. Father, can there be forgiveness for such as I?" Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
