In the event that Wellend had never gotten pregnant, at that point he could have gone to Europe and pursued Olenska. Archer would have been more joyful with having a family with Olenska as opposed to Wellend. On the off chance that Frome had left Zeena and went west with Silver he could have been so a lot more joyful. He would not need to pay to think about Zeena. Additionally, he would have been with somebody he really needed to wed, not somebody whom he wedded just to abstain from being forlorn in the winter after his mother passed on.
