MICH. No. You mustn’t bend to me. I’ve sent for you, Rose, to ask your pardon.

ROSE. My pardon?

MICH. I made you pass through a terrible ordeal last year. Will you forgive me?

ROSE. What should I forgive? You were right. You said it would bring me great peace. And so it has—great peace.

MICH. And you wouldn’t undo that morning’s work?

ROSE. No. It seems I died that morning and left all my old life in a grave. This is quite a new life. I wouldn’t change it.

MICH. Andrew, do you hear that?

ANDR. Yes.

MICH. I was right, then? I was right? You are happy?
