What this episode covers

To say it broke my heart is to make it too light.  It crushed me right into the ground.  After Mary told me she was pregnant, I couldn’t do anything but cry my eyes out.  I couldn’t face anyone.  I love her so much.  I thought she loved me too.   She said she hadn’t been with anyone, that it was the Holy Spirit, that an angel had come and told her it would happen—and that’s why she went off to visit Elizabeth.  All I know is that she came back pregnant. So I’m barely holding it together here.  Who am I kidding?  I’m not holding it together!  I’ll have to end our engagement, go through the formal divorce.  There’s nothing else I can do.  But I’m not going to denounce her publicly.  In spite of everything, I don’t want her shunned.  Or worse, stoned! I’m totally exhausted.  But I still don’t think I’ll sleep.  More tears come as I lay down anyway . . .
