A Heritage And Its History (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
said Simon. “And you will hear me in silence. You will not betray any feeling. You will not utter a word to exhibit yourself. You will make neither sign nor sound.” Walter laid a hand on his lips and lifted his eyes to his brother’s. But there was a change on his face. “Rhoda is going to have a child. And I am its father.” There was a silence. “Could it be Uncle’s?” said Walter. “No. They have not led a married life.” “Could they begin to lead one in time?” “No. There is no question of it. And things have gone too far.” “How did it come about?” “You cannot need me to tell you.” “When is it to be?” “In a few months. It must soon be known.” “Does anyone know yet?” “No one but you. My uncle does not know. My mother does not. It is all before me.” “We are in trouble, Simon. That is, as you are, I am. Do you want me to break it to Uncle?” “I want to postpone his knowing. I do not dare to face it. I have hardly faced the truth that he must know.”
