What had been the previous existences of his father and his mother? If they had a right to share in his future, surely he had a right to share in their pasts. He looked up at her. But something in her face a look of life hard-lived, the mysterious impress of emotions, experience, and suffering-seemed, with its incalculable depth, its purchased sanctity, to make curiosity impertinent.
His face grew set; the nails of his closed fingers cut his palms. But the laugh returned to his lips, the luster to his eyes. "Or have been!" he repeated. "A good many people have their pasts. Can you imagine what mine may have been?" But she scarcely followed his words; she did not think, she could not; she seemed to stand in a hateful dream!
