"What is it you want me to say?"

"Why you're unhappy."

"But if I am not unhappy?"

"You are."

"But suppose I say that I am not?"

"You are. You are. You are!" he shouted at her.

"Very well, then, I am."

"Why are you?"

"Who is happy really? At any rate for more than a moment. Only very thoughtless and silly people."

"You're putting me off." He took her hand again. "I'm to blame, Amy--to blame in many ways. But people are talking."
