This morning I put up the framework for another small house, where I shall put Wadrokala, his child-wife, and many of our boxes.
"How beautiful she is!" thought the poor little child-wife, wistfully gazing at her fair, false enemy. "I can not wonder Rex is dazzled by her peerless, royal beauty. I was mad to indulge the fatal, foolish dream that he could ever love me, poor, plain little Daisy Brooks." Daisy drew her cloak closer about her, and her thick veil more securely over her face.
It now had a tenant, even though it seemed but the mind of a little child. The rays of intelligence sent out were feeble indeed, but how much better than the blank darkness that had preceded! Something like happiness began to soften and brighten the husband's face as he took his child-wife here and there.
"He needs me but he'd boss me. I'd be the cunning child-wife, even at fifty," she worried, and "Hang him, it's like his superiority to beat poor Milt even at adventuring and to be such a confounded Modest Christian Gentleman about it!" "You'd you're so dreadfully managing," she sighed aloud.
What a strange rest and pause in my life there seems to be and in all life, within doors and without when I sit in the quiet, shaded, orderly room, with the blue eyes of my child-wife turned towards me, and her little fingers twining round my hand! Many and many an hour I sit thus; but, of all those times, three times come the freshest on my mind.
"I am not a child any longer I was until a short time ago, but you have changed me into a woman " "Come, Toni." Deceived by her quiet tone Owen laid his hand on her arm. "Don't grow up too quickly. Let me have my little child-wife a bit longer yet " She shook his hand off with a violence for which he was not prepared, and he spoke angrily, his softer impulses dying away.
She was soon my child-wife indeed; sitting down on the floor outside the Chinese House, ringing all the little bells one after another, to punish Jip for his recent bad behaviour; while Jip lay blinking in the doorway with his head out, even too lazy to be teased. This appeal of Dora's made a strong impression on me.
"And this child-wife of fifteen did indeed look very happy as she spoke and I, deep down in my heart, thought, 'What would they say to such match-making in England and Western Europe, and yet in Palestine such marriages arranged by the parents are nearly always happy. "I must close now, Your loving Millie."
So it was hard for him not to feel bitterness; hard for him to keep his thoughts from going back to the lonely child-wife wandering about in the park to all her deprivations, her blasted hopes and dying glories of soul. The family was going to the matinee; as there was room in their car, they asked Thyrsis to go with them.
He seized the ancient book, as it were to deliver its incantations against everyone destroying his peace, stealing from him that which he prized beyond all earthly things. Take this woman away from him, this child-wife from his sixty-five years, and what was left for him? She was the garden of spring in which his old age roamed at ease luxuriously. She was the fruit of the tree of pleasure.
