“No, I shall not see him again. We were going to be married; no, it is all over. It was a little hard at first, but I am all right now.”
“I am sorry. Do you think there is no chance of making it up?”
“I should have thought that you would be glad; men are so selfish they never think of any one but themselves.”
“How do you mean? Why should I be glad that your marriage was broken off?”
“You said just now that you liked me very much, I thought—”
“So I do like you very much. Once I was in love with you—that day when we walked up the steep woods together.”
“And you don't care for me any longer?”
“I don't say that; but I am engaged to be married.”
“Oh!”
“Had you not snubbed me so I might have been married to you.”
