Is she not yours too?

Mrs. Denham.

She loves you; she does not love me. I suppose I don't deserve it. I know you think I have been a bad wife, a bad mother. I am better out of your way. (Weeps.)

Denham.

This is morbid. Oh, if I could have cured you! Constance! (He caresses her hair.)

Mrs. Denham.

Don't touch me! It is an insult.

Denham.

(sighing) I suppose I have lost the right of comforting you. (Crosses r.)

Mrs. Denham.
