"Yes."
"This is the 5th. You are to be married in five days!"
"I am, Miss Hart. Do you want to congratulate me?"
"I—yes—I congratulate you. You—are attached—to Loftus?"
"To Captain Bertram? Do you know him?"
"No matter. You—you love him?"
"Why should I speak of my feelings? To marry a man is a proof of love, is it not? Do you know my future husband?"
"I—once I knew him."
"He has never spoken to me about you. Did you know him well?"
"No matter. I knew him—no matter how much. He loves you, does he not?"
