Mrs. Lorrimer. And he did!
Dawson. Yes—willingly! He was splendid that night.
Mrs. Lorrimer. That's why you suddenly became his champion!
Dawson. Yes, I couldn't believe the tales against him, when he had proved his love for Marion by such a big act of generosity.
Mrs. Lorrimer. He knows everything?
Dawson. Everything, that same night.
Mrs. Lorrimer. And he has never breathed a word?
Dawson. That was only natural up to yesterday, but now— [Interrupted.
Mrs. Lorrimer. He doesn't threaten to tell?
Dawson. He does, unless Marion marries him. He's mad about her. The good in him has loved her up to now; now it's the devil in him. He's not the same man!
