Edna stood at the door:slowly and sorrowfully she turned her head and looked at the heart. A momentary hesitation.Edna had made up her mind;she must go,as she plunged into the lone and savage.
All was quite and a sort of magic pervaded the air.yet she felt it threatening.she felt awed by the immensity of the darkness unseeing,unfeeling that enveloped her.she quickly moved across the courtyard ,she knew so well,fearing to make the slightest sound.The courtyard,her big terrace and the silhouette of her husband two Terrace's seemed to have joined together in one eternal chorus of mute condemnation of her action.
Edna Defiantly crossed the courtyard and took the path that led down to the left gate.slowly, she opened the gate and then shut it.She stood a moment,and in that second Edna realized that with the shutting of the gate,She had shut off a part of her existence.Tears were imminent as with a heavy heart she turned her back on her rightful place and began to move.
But where was she going?She did not know and did not very much care.All she wanted was to escape and go.Go. Go anywhere,She wanted to get away from the hearth,the courtyard and the people,away from everything that reminded her of Archibald Liam,she would go and never return to him,her hus—NO!!not her husband,but the man who wanted to kill her,a man who would have crushed her soul.He could no longer be her husband,though he was the very same man She had so much admire.How she loathed him now
