She’d considered it. That was perhaps the sad thing about it all, she had considered it, but not done it. She looked up from where she sat, taking Rudolf in with her eyes, and letting out a breath. “No one would... But I still cannot bring myself to do it. Erzsi is too young to understand. She would probably never forgive me.” Their daughter loved her father perhaps too much, and wiping a tear away from her eye, Steph tried not to cry.
“I wish it was different, Rudolf. You are a man, I expect these things but... Unable to have another myself? And the little baroness... It hurts more than any other circumstance of it.” She wants to be honest, she wants to move past this no matter how much her heart screams at her not to. She must think of Erzsi and reconciling.
“If Mary has a son... will you put me and Erzsi aside for her and the boy?” It almost comes as a whisper, for she is terrified of the answer. She would be in disgrace, and what use would she be as another man’s wife unable to bear him any children?
