“I might persuade her to return.”
“Could you?”
“I might. . . .”
“I’ll forgive her. . . . If she will come to me as a contrite woman. . . .”
“That’s slush. If you are going to spend your lives in quarrelling as to which is really the magnanimous party, I shan’t stir a finger. . . . Do you want her?”
