[The Freelands by John Galsworthy]@TWC D-Link bookThe Freelands CHAPTER IX 7/14
How can he love me? I am nothing--no good for anything! Alan calls him a 'run-up kid, all legs and wings.' Sometimes I hate Alan; he's conventional and stodgy--the funny thing is that he admires Sheila. She'll wake him up; she'll stick pins into him.
No, I don't want Alan hurt--I want every one in the world to be happy, happy--as I am.... The next day was the thunder-storm.
I never saw lightning so near--and didn't care a bit.
If he were struck I knew I should be; that made it all right.
When you love, you don't care, if only the something must happen to you both.
