Justina came to Lennox Gardens last night at about half-past six.

Theophila.

Fraser.

No.

Theophila.

Men don’t think on some points, I suppose. They hit; they never expect to see a bruise.

Fraser.

The two days we passed in Court, Theophila, set me quite beside myself. I am here to express my deep, my unfeigned regret for my treatment of you. I—I humbly beg your pardon.

Theophila.
