"With your appearance and talents you should be a great social success with the people who matter," he continued.
"Nonsense!"
"You undervalue your wonderful self. I should never have been so selfish as to marry you."
"You don't regret it?"
"For the great happiness it has brought me—no. But when I think how you might have made a great marriage and had a real home—"
"Aren't we going to have a real home?" she interrupted.
"Are we?"
"If it's love that makes the home, we have one whatever our condition," declared Mavis.
