Without another word Emily turned away. That night she went back to John and Amelia. They, on their part, welcomed her back gladly, believing her to be a wronged and ill used woman. WITHOUT ANOTHER WORD EMILY TURNED AWAY THAT NIGHT SHE WENT BACK TO JOHN AND AMELIA THEY ON THEIR PART WELCOMED HER BACK GLADLY BELIEVING HER TO BE A WRONG AND ILL USED WOMAN
woman could have effected real little mischief. But this Emily refused to be, and the breach between husband and wife widened insidiously. The final rupture came two years after their marriage. Emily, in rebellious anger, told her husband that she would no longer live in the same house with his mother. "You must choose between us," she said, her splendid voice vibrating with all the unleashed emotion of her being, yet with no faltering in it. "If she stays I go." Stephen Fair, harassed and bewildered, was angry with the relentless anger of a patient man roused at last. "Go, then," he said sternly, "I'll never turn my mother from my door for any woman's whim." The stormy red went out of Emily's face, leaving it like a marble wash. "You mean that!" she said calmly. "Think well. If I go I'll never return." "I do mean it," said Stephen. "Leave my house if you will--if you hold your marriage vow so lightly. When your senses return you are welcome to come back to me. I will never ask you to.
