Marie!
Marie.
Or do you imagine for one moment we could be happy together? No, I know you too well. I know the certain result. You would never forgive yourself nor me, and in the end life would become a burden to me, if only because I was in your way. Yes, yes, that would be the end of it all----
George.
Marie, I will be faithful to you forever, let come what may, be it good or bad; you know that!
Marie.
Yes, thank God!--yes!
George.
If there was only the slightest possibility of a chance to escape from all this whirl--then we might be free, we might---- But no matter what we begin, we cannot shake off nor disregard our obligations to this house; never, as long as we live!
