desire for a woman when he was thirty five.
He asked flora to come live with him. At first
flora resented and got angry even while she
remained silent, but finally she said yes.
Flora was a servant woman and she welcomed
this chance of having an independent home.
Flora was half ashamed but also glad to
accept his proposal. When she gave Ponso
her acceptance she cried a lot.

6. Flora, as a girl, had dreamed of marrying but no
lover came. Even Ponso, who asked her to live
with him, did not make love to het but got to his
point at once.
“You come live with me, Flora. I’ll be good to
you.”
Ponso took Flora to the little room that he rented
for himself. At first Flora was afraid to go in but
Ponso said if they were to live together she
ought not to be afraid of him.

7. Ponso and Flora did not marry but Flora did not
complain. Ponso was satisfied with her and Flora
was happy she had a man. Flora prayed for him
to be good to her and that she should learn to
love this man.
