Ruth and her family were home again , and Martin , returned to Oakland , saw much of her . Having gained her degree , she was doing no more studying ; and he , having worked all vitality out of his mind and body , was doing no writing . This gave them time for each other that they had never had before , and their intimacy ripened fast .
Рут и ее семья снова были дома, и Мартин, вернувшись в Окленд, часто ее видел. Получив степень, она больше не училась; и он, выведя всю жизненную силу из своего разума и тела, не писал. Это дало им время друг для друга, которого у них никогда не было раньше, и их близость быстро созрела.
