Now he felt the marvel of the fact that she was a woman. Her hand, warm and alive, astonished him with the news. Rachel, during his speechlessness, looked at him unbelievingly. The grip of his fingers was bringing an ache into her heart. It was sad. The night and the room were sad. She could feel sadness opening little wounds in her breasts. And before she had been happy.
