No! No! No!
MRS. BRIGGS (piteously)
Henry, you must listen to me! (She puts her hand on his arm.)
INGOLDSBY (moving away from her)
Why didn’t you say that then? Why didn’t—
MRS. BRIGGS
I loved you—I did, Henry! I simply let my mother break my will and wreck our two lives.
INGOLDSBY
What folly! You were perfectly happy with Briggs. I don’t know how many people told me you were.
