¡¡¡¡ "And now you add to your cruelty by leaving me!" "Ah--yes! The further I flounder, the more harm I do!" ¡¡¡¡ "O Sue!" said he with a sudden sense of his own danger. "Do not do an immoral thing for moral reasons! You have been my social salvation. Stay with me for humanity's sake! You know what a weak fellow I am. My two arch-enemies you know--my weakness for womankind and my impulse to strong liquor. Don't abandon me to them, Sue, to save your own soul only! They have been kept entirely at a distance since you became my guardian-angel! Since I have had you I have been able to go into any temptations of the sort, without risk. Isn't my safety worth a little sacrifice of dogmatic principle? I am in terror lest, if you leave me, it will be with me another case of the pig that was washed turning back to his wallowing in the mire!" ¡¡¡¡ Sue burst out weeping. "Oh, but you must not, Jude! You won't! I'll pray for you night and day!"
