Gli venne il sospetto che fosse venuta per offrirsi; e si sentì ancora invadere da un desiderio violento, rabbioso, più forte che mai. Eppure sentiva qualcosa di inesprimibile, una specie di repulsione, quasi il terrore di un incesto. Fu anche un altro timore a trattenerlo: quello di rimanere, dopo, con il disgusto.
