“Jim, last night I learned something about love. I know what it is. I knew you would learn the truth. All that—I put aside. While I was trying to reach you I put it aside. I knew love would abide, through griefs, through whatever had gone before, whatever was to come. I loved you—would always love you. Do you know, Jim, I had made up my mind to fight for my love? Yes, if others had not proved I did not do that thing, I should have proved it to you myself. Because I—wanted you, Jim. Because I had to have you.”
He clung to her hand, speechless. A ray of glory had fallen upon him, and he was blinded with it.
“Jim,” she said, “you have never kissed me. You aren’t acting like—the Sudden Jim I want for my own.”
