Meantime she went on living under the conditions of her old life and was horrified at herself, at her utter and unconquerable indifference to all her past, the things, habits, and people who had loved and still loved her, to her mother who was hurt by her indifference, to her dear, affectionate father whom she had previously loved more than anyone else on earth.
Vivendo la sua vita di prima, aveva orrore di sé, della sua completa, insormontabile indifferenza verso tutto il suo passato: verso le cose e le abitudini, verso le persone che le avevano voluto bene e gliene volevano, verso la madre rammaricata di quell’indifferenza, verso il padre tenero e caro, fino allora amato più di tutti al mondo.
