"But, my darling Dora—my darling wife——"
"I am not your wife. When I sent you the wedding ring back—that you said was yours, not mine—I divorced myself from all a wife's duties, pains, and penalties."
"You are my wife, and nothing but my death can make you free."
"Oh, but you are mistaken! You made a solemn contract with me, and you broke every condition of that contract."
"Suppose I did, that——"
"Your faithlessness made the contract null and void——"
"The law of England——"
"I care nothing about the law of England. I am now an American citizen."
"But, Dora, my dear, dear love, you will surely go back to Glasgow with me?"
"Not for all creation! I would rather die."
