"Well, what do you say?"
She shrugged her shoulders.
"Of course I would rather have a home of my own. I told you so at once ... when we married."
"Yes, but at that time...."
"Well?"
"I didn't see it so clearly ... that you would not be happy in this house."
"Oh ... happy? I don't know."
"You're not happy here."
"I would certainly rather have my own house ... at the Hague."
"At the Hague. Very well. But, if we move to the Hague, Tilly, we shall have to be very economical."
