"No, no. You couldn't——"
"Yes. It was meant to be. You've given a new meaning to life, torn from its very roots a whole rotten philosophy. Oh, you don't know what I mean—except that nobility is in the mind, beauty in the heart. Nothing else matters."
"No. It doesn't," she sighed. "You see, I—I do believe in you."
"Thank God! But you know nothing of me—nothing of my past——"
"I don't care what your past has been or who you are. You're good enough for me. I'm satisfied——"
He laughed joyously at the terms of her acquiescence.
"Don't you want to know what I've been—who I am——?"
"No. It wouldn't make any difference—not now."
"I'll tell you some day."
"I'll take a chance on that. I'm not afraid."
