Rosmer.

Tell me more of this. Tell me all you can.

Rebecca.

There is not much more, dear. Only this—it was love that was born in me. The great self-denying love, that is content with life, as we two have lived it together.

Rosmer.

Oh, if I had only had the faintest suspicion of all this!

Rebecca.

It is best as it is. Yesterday—when you asked me if I would be your wife—I cried out with joy——

Rosmer.

Yes, did you not, Rebecca! I thought that was the meaning of your cry.
