Stephen Fair , harassed and bewildered , was angry with the relentless anger of a patient man roused at last . `` Go , then , '' he said sternly , `` I 'll never turn my mother from my door for any woman 's whim . '' The stormy red went out of Emily 's face , leaving it like a marble wash . `` You mean that ! '' she said calmly . `` Think well . If I go I 'll never return . '' `` I do mean it , '' said Stephen . `` Leave my house if you will -- if you hold your marriage vow so lightly . When your senses return you are welcome to come back to me . I will never ask you to . '' Without another word Emily turned away . That night she went back to John and Amelia . They , on their part , welcomed her back gladly , believing her to be a wronged and ill-used woman . They hated Stephen Fair with a new and personal rancour . The one thing they could hardly have forgiven Emily would have been the fact of her relenting towards him . But she did not relent . In her soul she knew that , with all her just grievances , she had been in the wrong , and for that she could not forgive him ! Two years after she had left Stephen Mrs. Fair died , and his widowed sister-in-law went to keep house for him . If he thought of Emily he made no sign .
Stephen Fair never broke a XXXXX once passed .
