　his　wife　was　a　great

thing；　if　it　was　not　everything。　She　had　conquered；　really。　Let

him　wait；　and　abide；　wait　and　abide。　She　and　the　baby　and

himself；　they　were　one。　The　organ　rang　out　his　protestation。　His

soul　lay　in　the　darkness　as　he　pressed　the　keys　of　the

organ。

To　Anna；　the　baby　was　a　plete　bliss　and　fulfilment。　Her

desires　sank　into　abeyance；　her　soul　was　in　bliss　over　the　baby。

It　was　rather　a　delicate　child；　she　had　trouble　to　rear　it。　She

seemed　to　be　in　the　fecund　of　storm　life；　every　moment　was　full

and　busy　with　productiveness　to　her。　She　felt　like　the　earth；

the　mother　of　everything。

Brangwen　occupied　himself　with　the　church；　he　played　the

organ；　he　trained　the　choir…boys；　he　taught　a　Sunday…school

class　of　youths。　He　was　happy　enough。　There　was　an　eager；

yearning　kind　of　happiness　in　him　as　he　taught　the　boys　on

Sundays。　He　was　all　the　time　exciti
