Mrs. Fitzpatrick continues her story. Mr. Fitzpatrick wanted to return to his native Ireland after the wedding, but she did not care to leave England. One day she discovered a letter lying on the floor, from which she learned that her husband had married her only for her money. When she confronted him, however, he mollified her by means of caresses and protestations of love. In Ireland, she grew more and more depressed, and her husband attempted to drag her down further with snide remarks. She became pregnant by him—the man she "scorned, hated, and detested."
