His amazement made him swing around and stare at her blankly. "What do you mean?"
"If you believed in me—even a little bit—you'd see that I've got to do the right thing."
"I believe in you so much that I think you're too good; you're sacrificing yourself and you're sacrificing me too for an idea. I've got to the point where I don't care a fig for ideas; it doesn't matter to me if they did make you stand up and marry that—marry him—to save Eva. I'd like to smash everything out of my way; I want to set you free, I must!"
"You can't—there's no way out. I've just got to be punished!"
"For what, pray? For being an angel to your sister? For pitying that—that fellow?"
"No, for marrying him just because—"
"Because what?"
"Because I thought you loved some one else."
"Good Lord!"
"Well, that's it. I'm just as wicked and silly as that!"
