The owners had a twenty-two-year-old son. He came home on leave. Marthe invited him for tea.

That evening we heard raised voices; they forbade him to see their tenant again. Accustomed to my father never vetoing anything I did, I was quite astonished that the great lump was so obedient.

The next day, as we walked across the garden, he was doing some digging. It was probably a punishment. Slightly embarrassed, he looked away so as not to have to say hello.

These little skirmishes saddened Marthe; sufficiently intelligent and in love to realize that happiness isn’t to be found in the regard of other people, she was like those poets who realize that true poetry is ‘cursed’, and yet who, despite knowing this, are still sometimes hurt when they don’t receive the public approval which they so despise.
