Ann: But I wanted them to believe it. I—I was proud of it.
Philip (brutally): Well, you’re not proud of it now, are you?
Ann: No. I don’t think that I shall ever recover from the shame of it.
Philip: It’ll soon blow over.
Ann: I didn’t mean that. Do you think I care what the world thinks? Do you think I mind the scandal? It’s having loved you that I mind. That is the shame that will never wear out.

Philip: I suppose I have been saying things I didn’t altogether mean.
Ann: I don’t think so.
Philip: It’s no good saying I am sorry, is it?
Ann: No.
