The Pursuit of Pleasure
A young girl, bubbling over with the effervescence of youth, has her imagination dwarfed and her impulses blighted by a clergyman father who believes that the business of mortals on earth is to repent. The tact that repentance must follow Sin, doesn't in the least effect the benign clarity of his vision. But the Life Force mocks his mummery, and by stealth his daughter marries the man of her choice, a husband rich and devoted. But now her early life of restriction has festered into an insatiable desire for the sweets of life, and she dances with Folly in a mad and ever madder swirl. Her husband wants children, but he gets dinner parties, dances, more dances, and all the rest of the flitting phantom life of Society. And then through a curious circumstance, she becomes imbued with a desire for motherhood. But here the God of Compensation steps derisively between her and her obsession. A fall necessitating an operation leaves her incapable of becoming a mother. Who Pays?
