SISTERS

URSULA and Gudrun Brangwen sat one morning in the win dow – bay of their father’s house in Beldover , working and talking . Ursula was stitching a piece of brightly – coloured embroidery , and Gudrun was drawing upon a board which she held on her knee . They were mostly silent , talking as their thoughts strayed through their minds . ‘ Ursula , ‘ said Gudrun , ‘ don’t you really want to get mar ried ? ‘ Ursula laid her embroidery in her lap and looked up . Her face was calm and considerate . ‘ I don’t know , ‘ she replied . ‘ It depends how you mean . ‘ Gudrun was slightly taken aback . She watched her sister for some moments . ‘ Well , ‘ she said , ironically , ‘ it usually means one thing ! But don’t you think , anyhow , you’d be – ‘ she darkened slightly – ‘ in a better position than you are in now . ‘ A shadow came over Ursula’s face . ‘ I might , ‘ she said . ” But I’m not sure . ‘ Again Gudrun paused , slightly irritated . She wanted to be quite definite . ‘ You don’t think one needs the experience of having been married ? ‘ she asked . ‘ Do think it need be an experience ? ‘ replied Ursula . you ‘ Bound to be , in some way or other , ‘ said Gudrun , coolly . ” Possibly undesirable , but bound to be an experience of some sort . ‘ ‘ Not really , ‘ said Ursula . ‘ More likely to be the end of experience . ‘ Gudrun sat very still , to attend to this . ” Of course , ‘ she said , ‘ there’s that to consider . ‘ This brought the conversation to a close . Gudrun , almost angrily , took up her rubber and began to rub out part of her drawing . Ursula stitched absorbedly . ” You wouldn’t consider a good offer ? ‘ asked Gudrun .
