his　heart　was　full　of　extreme　tenderness　for　her。　Such　fine；

fine　limbs；　her　slim；　round　arms　like　chasing　lights；　and　her

legs　so　simple　and　childish；　yet　so　very　proud。　Oh；　she　stood　on

proud　legs；　with　a　lovely　reckless　balance　of　her　full　belly；

and　the　adorable　little　roundnesses；　and　the　breasts　being

important。　Above　it　all；　her　face　was　like　a　rosy　cloud

shining。

How　proud　she　was；　what　a　lovely　proud　thing　her　young　body！

And　she　loved　him　to　put　his　hand　on　her　ripe　fullness；　so　that

he　should　thrill　also　with　the　stir　and　the　quickening　there。　He

was　afraid　and　silent；　but　she　flung　her　arms　round　his　neck

with　proud；　impudent　joy。

The　pains　came　on；　and　Oh……how　she　cried！　She　would　have

him　stay　with　her。　And　after　her　long　cries　she　would　look　at

him；　with　tears　in　her　eyes　and　a　sobbing　laugh　on　her　face；

saying：

〃I　dont　mind　it　really。〃

It　was　bad　enough。　But　to　her　it　was　never　deathly。　Even　the

fierce；　tearing　pain　was　exhilarating。　She　screamed　and

suffered；　but　was　all　the　time　curiously　alive　and　vital。　She

felt　so　powerfully　alive　and　in　the　hands　of　such　a　masterly

force　of　life；　that　her　bottom…most　feeling　was　one　of

exhilaration。　She　knew　she　was　winning；　winning；　she　was　always

winning；　with　each　onset　of　pain　she　was　nearer　to　victory。

Probably　he　suffered　more　than　she　did。　He　was　not　shocked　or

horrified。　But　he　was　screwed　very　tight　in　the　vise　of

suffering。

It　was　a　girl。　The　second　of　silence　on　her　face　when　they

said　so　showed　him　she　was　disappointed。　And　a　great　blazing

passion　of　resentment　and　protest　sprang　up　in　his　heart。　In

that　moment　he　claimed　the　child。

But　when　the　milk　came；　and　the　infant　sucked　her　breast；　she

seemed　to　be　leaping　with　extravagant　bliss。

〃It　sucks　me；　it　sucks　me；　it　likes　me……oh；　it　loves

it！〃　she　cried；　holding　the　child　to　her　breast　with　her　two

hands　covering　it；　passionately。

And　in　a　few　moments；　as　she　became　used　to　her　bliss；　she

looked　at　the　youth　with　glowing；　unseeing　eyes；　and　said：

〃Anna　Victrix。〃

He　went　away；　trembling；　and　slept。　To　her；　her　pains　were
