Differences Between Stage and Film Versions
In the original stage version, Janet does have her pregnancy aborted, and she and Arthur talk it over later as they settle their feelings for each other.

Arthur and Janet instead go off together, to get married and stay with Janet's aunt in another city until the baby is born.

Ignorance bringing them nearer to death,
But nearness to death no nearer to God.”
