So long as love begets life no child is deserted, or hungry, or famished for the want of affection. I know this to be true. I know women who became mothers in freedom by the men they loved. Few children in wedlock enjoy the care, the protection, the devotion free motherhood is capable of bestowing.

The pain of her motherhood never approached the agony of her wifehood, when she knew, while the pride of fatherhood was utterly submerged in the poignancy of his self-abasement, when he realized. Another physician had treated him during this attack. He, too, wished to help.
Again with those first promises of spring in sunshine and air, there was coming also for the second time in her life the promise of approaching motherhood.
