Ann: You have created me in your own image, giving me all your own lovely qualities. They are a divine gift, Tim. Thank you for them.

Tim: What nonsense you talk. Everyone becomes good when they are with you.

Ann: Some day you may find out terrible things about me—and then what shall I do?

Tim: What you did wouldn’t matter, anyway.

Ann (looking at him intensely): Wouldn’t it? Are you sure?

Tim: Quite sure. It’s what you are. The warm glowing light you give. It doesn’t matter into what dark corners it goes, does it?

Ann (in a whisper): I wonder.

Tim: The places it lights and warms aren’t part of the sun, are they?

Ann: But people don’t work in that magnificent way. They select their just and their unjust. What human being is impartial?
