You have paid this tremendous price—and I have made you pay it.
Phillip
I wish to be always with you. That is my only wish, my only happiness.
Mrs. Lattin
For my sake you have sacrificed——
Phillip
It’s I who am selfish to tire you with all this stupid Government business. There, now; you’ve talked too much and I have done you harm. There’s only happiness in my heart. No more nonsense-talk about sacrifice. You must lie quiet and rest again. I can be always with you.
Mrs. Lattin
Yes, to the end—my end and yours. O God! Why did I not understand before?
