Young Wife

Then I would always know that you love me.

Husband

Yes. But you must know that anyway. One cannot always be a lover, sometimes one has to go out into the cold world to struggle and achieve! Don’t forget that, my child. There is a time for everything in marriage—that is the beauty of it. There are not many who can remember their Venice after five years.

Young Wife

True!

Husband

And now … good-night, my child.
