[Georgiana watches him a little while in silence. Then she goes to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.

Georgiana. Steve!

Steven. [Sobbing.] Yes!

Georgiana. I forgive you!

Steven. No! No!

Georgiana. And I'll trust you again if I have a chance.

Steven. [Looking up.] Georgy, what do you mean?

[Beginning to control his sobs.

Georgiana. I mean, though it's been a pretty big blow, my faith in you isn't altogether gone yet.

Steven. Oh, I can't bear it! I can't bear it! But you don't mean it! No, you can't mean it! How could you? Forgive me? Trust me again?
