"How'd you feel, if you was to find out I'd been walkin' home with some man?" When it was put to him that way, he realized that he would have felt very badly indeed. A flood of old emotions came back to him. He went in memory with his group of roystering friends to the house of evil where he had first met Elizabeth Huszar, pronounced Eleeza Betooser.
To which vivid programme there was only one obstacle or, to be precise, four obstacles, one large and three small, the large one being Eleeza Betooser.
The nurse with the halo of golden-brown hair got interested in her American patient, and would sit and talk with him every chance she got. She learned about Eleeza Betooser and the babies who had been blown to pieces in the explosion. Also she learned about Jimmie's being a Socialist, and asked him questions about it. Wasn't he just a little hard on the leisure classes?
She begged her visionary husband to turn the money over to her; she argued that half of it belonged to her anyhow had she not done her part to earn it? "What part?" Jimmie asked; and she answered that she had kept quiet and what more had he done? Eleeza Betooser wanted that treasure to insure safety for the children through whatever troubles might come to their propagandist father.
But he was helpless, speechless bound hand and foot by those solemn pledges he had given to Eleeza Betooser, the mother of babies. He looked about, and near him in the aisle he saw another man, also bound hand and foot bound by the memory of the smash in the face which had broken his nose and knocked out three of his front teeth!
Poor Eleeza Betooser twice again she had been compelled to take down the stocking from her right leg, and unsew the bandage round her ankle, and extract another of those precious yellow twenty-dollar bills; there were only seven of them left now, and each of them was more valuable to Lizzie than her eye-teeth. Jimmie finally agreed that he would gag himself, so far as concerned this country-side.
She was five years older than he, a Bohemian, having been brought to America when she was a baby. Her former name you could hardly call it her "maiden" name, considering the circumstances was Elizabeth Huszar, which she pronounced so that for a long time Jimmie had understood it to be Eleeza Betooser.
For poor Elizabeth Huszar, pronounced Eleeza Betooser, had had no chance whatever to familiarize herself with the new ideas of advanced feminism. Her notions of "free unions" had been derived from a quite different world, whose ideas were not new, but on the contrary very, very old, and were "advanced" only on the road to perdition.
He slid around on this slope, calling aloud, as if he expected the spirits of his loved ones might have remained there, defying all the power of suddenly expanding gases. He ran back across the road and called, as if they might have fled that way. At last he ran into Mr. Drew; old Mr. Drew, who a couple of weeks before had taken Eleeza Betooser and her three little ones driving in his buggy!
