not either ... But I did not want the child, he thought the pace of the shovelful. This is not the craziest thing? I did not want a baby more than he wanted her. And was it not true, then, that from that moment on everything in his life had been one of the things seuqela that he had not really wanted? Hopelessly stupid to accept a job show that it was a responsible individual , just like any other father, moving to a nice apartment trope dear to prove his faith in the foundations of a mature man and hygiene, have another child to prove that the first was not a mistake, buying a house in the country because it was more logical to take the initiative at this point and he had to show an ability to take it. Demonstrate, demonstrate, and for no other reason than this: he was married to a woman who, somehow, managed to keep him always on the defensive, who loved him when he was a gentle, lived along from time to time what she wanted to do, which could at any time - and here was the trouble - which could easily go in any time of planting. So things stood: they were simple and ridiculous ....
"... Because, you see, it so happens that I rather believe that this is unrealistic: I think it's unrealistic for a man with a mind alert to work like a dog, years, in an office that can not stand, and return in the evening in a house that can not stand by a wife as he is unable to endure the same things, living among a bunch of frightened little man ... Good God, Frank not I'll be sure to have to tell you what's wrong in this environment. Basically I'm repeating to the letter of your words. Do you remember what you said just two nights ago, when there were Campbell, the suburbs that are designed solely to take away the reality ? You said that all those who strive to raise children in a bath of sentimentality .... Because everything you said was based on what is our basic premise that we are something different and superior, and I had a great desire to say, "But we're not! But look at us! We are unaltered people you're talking about! We are the people you're talking about! " I felt, I do not know, as of contempt for you, because you could not see the awful falsehood of the whole ... "
.. to keep the conversation was mostly the two men merely to listen to April , attached to the arm of Frank, and more than once they are noticed, looking at him from top to bottom, her eyes shining with admiration for what seemed the things he was saying.
The practical aspect of the project Europe did not seem to arouse the interest of John Givings, which, however, continued to bombard me with questions about the reasons for their departure, and once, when Frank pointed to the "desperate empty di ogni cosa in questo paese", John si arrestò in mezzo all'erba come folgorato.
"Oh", esclamò, "l'hai detto. Il disperato vuoto. Cielo, c'è un sacco di gente che la parte del vuoto l'ha capita; laggiù dove lavoravo, sulla costa occidentale, non parlavamo d'altro. Ce ne stavamo seduti a chiacchierare del vuoto per tutta la notte. Ma nessuno ha mai detto disperato, era lì che ci mancava il coraggio. Perché forse ci vuole una certa dose di coraggio per rendersi conto del vuoto, ma ne occorre un bel po' di più per scorgere la disperazione. E secondo me, una volta che si scorge la disperazione, non resta altro da fare che tagliare la corda. Se si può, beninteso." ..
.."Naturalmente", fece Frank, sorridendo alle proprie scarpe. "Ma diciamo che in nessun posto è consigliabile che la gente faccia dei figli, se non può permetterseli. Si dà il caso che l'unica maniera di permetterci questo figlio, per noi, consista nel restare qui. E' una questione di denaro, vede".
"Benissimo", John annuì, apparentemente soddisfatto, passando lo sguardo dall'uno all'altro dei Wheeler. "Benissimo, è una buonissima ragione"....

"Eh?" Insisitette him. "The little woman has decided that it is not yet ready to stop playing to the house? No, no, it does not. I'm sure. He looks too strong, her. Strong and female height and perfectly. Very well, then, then she must have been. "And he turned to Frank." What happened ?"....

"Wow!" John broke nella sua clamorosa risata. "Accidenti! Vuol sapere una cosa? Non sarei affatto sorpreo se l'avesse messa incinta apposta, per trascorrere tutto il resto della sua vita a nascondersi dietro quell'abito premaman".
"Senta un po'", esplose Frank Wheeler... "Credo proprio che abbia parlato abbastanza. Insomma chi diavolo crede di essere, lei?....voglio soltanto che le sue maledette opinioni le tenga in quel maledetto manicomio , che è lì che devono restare".
Durante il penoso silenzio che seguì.. se ne stettero tutti raggruppati al centro dlla stanza:... April, il volto coperto dal rossore, lo sguardo fisso a terra; Frank ancora tremante e ansimante, con un misto di sfida and humiliation in the eyes. John, whose smile was now clear, was the only one who seemed at ease.
"great man has been taken, April," he said, winking as he adjusts his cap on his head as a farmer.

....Ma John non aveva ancora fnito. "Ah, di una cosa, comunque, sono contento", disse, arrestandosi accanto all'uscio, voltandosi e ricominciando a ridere.... tese un lungo indice macchiato di nicotina e lo puntò in direzione del lieve rigonfiamento del ventre di April. "Sapete di che cosa sono contento? Sono contento di non essere quel marmocchio ".
