Olive was one of those unfortunate women whose insatiable lustful husbands literally squeezed them into the light with constant pregnancies and childbirth.
Olive, at the age of 29, gave birth to seven children and could not bear five more. She was a thin, emaciated woman who was afraid of every rustle and once burned like a thin twig in another birth fever. Is it necessary to say that the husband immediately found another victim?
Olive rarely came, but I felt sorry for her more than anyone.
