George came into the conjugal1 bedroom. The hour was about three o'clock in the afternoon. Lois lay on the sofa at the foot of the twin beds. It was perhaps characteristic of her that she sincerely preferred the sofa to her bed. Sometimes in the night, when she could not sleep, she would get up and go sighing to the sofa, and, with nothing but a slippery eiderdown to cover her, sleep perfectly2 till George arose in the morning. Quite contentedly3 conventional in most matters of mere4 social deportment, she often resisted purely5 physical conventions. A bed was the recognized machine for slumber6; hence she would instinctively7 choose another machine. Also, the sofa was nearer to the ground. She liked to be near the ground. She had welcomed with ardour the first beginnings of the new fashion which now regularly permits ladies to sit on the hearth-rug after a ceremonial dinner and prop8 their backs with cushions or mantelpieces. Doubtless a trait of the 'cave-woman' that as a girl she had called herself!
She was now stretched on the sofa in a luxurious9 and expensive ribboned muslin negligée, untidy, pale, haggard, heavy, shapeless, the expectant mother intensely conscious of her own body and determined10 to maintain all the privileges of the exacting11 rôle which nature had for the third time assigned to her.
