THE baby was coming. Each morning she was nauseated¹, chilly², bedraggled, and certain that she would never again be attractive; each twilight³ she was afraid. She did not feel exalted⁴, but unkempt and furious. The period of daily sickness crawled into an endless time of boredom⁵. It became difficult for her to move about, and she raged that she, who had been slim and light-footed, should have to lean on a stick, and be heartily⁶ commented upon by street gossips. She was encircled by greasy⁷ eyes. Every matron hinted, “Now that you’re going to be a mother, dearie, you’ll get over all these ideas of yours and settle down.” She felt that willy-nilly she was being initiated⁸ into the assembly of housekeepers⁹; with the baby for hostage, she would never escape; presently she would be drinking coffee and rocking and talking about diapers.
“I could stand fighting them. I’m used to that. But this being taken in, being taken as a matter of course, I can’t stand it — and I must stand it!”
She alternately detested¹⁰ herself for not appreciating the kindly¹¹ women, and detested them for their advice: lugubrious¹² hints as to how much she would suffer in labor
