It was not the poverty or the neglect, the frequent hunger, so that there was barely enough for the children. Nor was it that Antek sat drinking in the inn with his chums, caring nothing for home, sneaking into the cottage like a stray dog and reaching for his stick at any hint of reproach. That happened all too often in other places as well. You could overlook it; for indeed, an evil hour had come upon him such that you could wait but patiently – it might still pass. But his betrayal she could not forget, withstand or forgive!
