 I
Rachel thought she understood all Louis' mental processes. With the tragic1 self-confidence of the inexperienced wife, she was convinced that she had nothing to learn about the secret soul of the stranger to whom she had utterly2 surrendered herself, reserving from him naught3 of the maiden4. Each fresh revelation of him she imagined to be final, completing her studies. In fact, it would have taken at least ten years of marriage to prove to her that a perception of ignorance is the summit of knowledge. She had not even realized that human nature is chiefly made up of illogical and absurd contradictions. Thus she left the house that Saturday morning gloomy, perhaps hopeless, certainly quite undecided as to the future, but serene6, sure of her immediate7 position, and sure that Louis would act like Louis. She knew that she had the upper hand, both physically8 and morally. The doctor had called and done his work, and given a very reassuring9 report. She left Louis to Mrs. Tams, as was entirely10 justifiable11, merely informing him that she had necessary errands, and even this information she gave through her veil, a demure13 contrivance which she had adapted for the first time on her honeymoon14. It was his role to accept her august decisions.
