Maud. All men are.

Camele. So you have often said, but I thought that he was different.

Maud. Brutes, beasts.

Camele. But we were so happy at first—the first months—

Maud. Really happy?

Camele. Yes, I was happy. I painted and Jack was with me between times—yes, I was happy and calm.

Maud. You only thought so; I knew that it couldn’t last. I know you too well.

Camele. Yes, you were right, I suppose.

Maud. And what now?

Camele. I don’t know—I broke with the family when I married him, as you know—now, I don’t know.
