"And you do not love her any more?"

"She is dead."

"She was a married woman?"

"Precisely, and her husband is yet living. You will permit me to conceal her name."

"There is no need whatever to mention that; but you will conquer this feeling, will you not?"

"I do not positively know. Up to the present time I have not succeeded at all."

"She has not been dead long?"

"Three years."

"She loved you then very much?"

"No."
