Hello dears,
Let's follow Antanas a little longer... and witness his parents' happiness...
Translate into French:
Jurgis had, alas! very little time to see his baby; he never felt the chains about him
more than just then.
When he came home, at night, the baby would be asleep, and it would be the merest
chance if he awoke before Jurgis had to go to sleep himself. Then in the morning there
was no time to look at him, so really the only chance the father had was on Sundays.
This was more cruel then for Ona, who ought to have stayed home and nursed him, the
doctor said, for her own health as well as the baby’s; but Ona had to go to work, and
leave him for Teta Elzbieta to feed upon the pale blue poison that was called milk at the
corner grocery. Ona’s confinement lost her only a week’s wages -- she would go to the
factory the second Monday, and the best that Jurgis could persuade her was to ride in
the car, and let him run along behind and help her to Brown’s when she alighted. After
that it would be all right, said Ona; it was no strain sitting still sewing hams all day;
and if she waited longer she might find that her dreadful landlady had put someone
else in her place. That would be a greater calamity than ever now, Ona continued, on
account of the baby. They would all have to work harder now, on his account. It was
such a responsibility – they must not have the baby grow up to suffer as they had.
