Of another?

Lionnette (laughing).

You are mad. You have always been a little inclined that way. It is true that if you had not been silly you would never have married me.

John.

Whether I am mad or not, answer my question.

Lionnette.

No, you can be assured on that point. I have never thought of any one else.

John.

And if I were to die; if I killed myself; if you, in the end, became a widow, and that man who is there—that strange man, that millionaire—made you an offer, would you marry him?
