Evelyn gave a little exclamation, partly of disgust and partly of horror.
'A child to grow up with no thought of evil, and one day the world to fling a tender name in his face. A child to look back and curse you from whose loins he sprang! 'O my God! my God! She groveled on the floor. The priest sighed and raised her to her feet. Wharton pressed forward, but she motioned him away. 'Don't come near me, Clyde!
He saw how, whenever failure and dishonor had filtered in, it was where weakness, self-indulgence, or untruthfulness, had left an opening. He saw how one wrong had been a sure and easy path to another, until in the end he had groveled face downward in the mire. His mind turned on the two women between whom his path had lain: how highly he had aimed, and how low he had fallen!
They shrieked, they sobbed, they groveled; but their enemies were open to no appeal, untouched by any sense of compunction.

She had moved away to pass on toward the house when she was startled by the sound of a harsh laugh close behind her. She turned and found herself staring into the grinning face of Montana Ike.
I would have killed myself. I've been on the very brink of it more than once. I've suffered agonies ever since you married. The birth of your child fairly drove me insane.
