Mrs. Tremaine.
(with inward rage) Yes, I love you. (Suddenly embracing him.) I love you! What does it matter?
Denham.
Oh, it is the eternal tragedy! We must renounce.
(Half releasing her.)
Mrs. Tremaine.
Why must we renounce? Now that you have gone so far, why turn back?
Denham.
(releasing her) It is the least of evils. How should I hide you from the world's vile slanders? Let us keep our dream unsullied. (Crosses l.)
Mrs. Tremaine.
