第二篇 A Desert Between Paul and Clara
Paul had long promised to marry Clara．But at thirty·thee he met and married Alice．Clara was driven mad．
Paul was taken to court．The judge ordered him to pay Clara$600 because of the broken promise．Paul had to borrow the money from a moneylender．He agreed to pay back$5 a month—for twenty years．His wages at the time were$16 a month．
Paul and Alice were poor but not unhappy．They had little enough food，certainly，even before the children began to arrive．Each month Paul paid$5 to the moneylender．He worked hard, never taking a holiday．In time，there were seven mouths to feed．
Illness was always with them．It grew serious when the oldest child was eight．The years of hunger weakened the family, because each month Paul paid$5．The details of the sickness were ugly, but the result was this：after twelve years of family life，Paul was alone in the world.
He lived alone．except for memories．Work was not now a god for him：it was a pain-killer．Each month he paid，and in time the twenty years ended．From that moment his wages were his own．
One day, It was a holiday went to the seaside．He sat down on a seat by the sea．A middle．a(chǎn)ged woman came and sat down near him．They recognized each other at once.
