Kelland, Clarence B

"Youth Challenges"

It quite took her breath away. Present
also was the feeling that if Dulac wanted her, if she could bring
happiness, ease, help to him, it would be her duty to give herself.
By so doing she would contribute her all to the cause. ... Behind
that thought were generations of men and women who had sacrificed and
suffered for labor. If her father had given his life, would he not
expect his daughter to give HER life? If she could make Dulac
stronger to carry on his work for social revolution, had she a right
to withhold herself? ...
But, being a girl, with youth singing in her heart, it was impossible
that anything should take precedence of love. That was the great
question. Did she love? ... At noon she was sure she did; at one
o'clock she was sure she did not; at two o'clock she was wavering
between the two decisions; at six o'clock she had passed through all
these stages half a dozen times, and was no nearer certainty.
Being who she was and what she was, her contacts with the world had
not been those of the ordinary girl of her age and her station in
life.
