"How queer. That's what Jerrold said. Then he did love me."
"I told you he loved you."
"Then I don't care. Nothing else matters."
"That's all you have to say to me?"
"Yes. Unless I lie."
"You'd lie for Jerrold."
"For him. Not to him. I should never need to."
"You've no need to lie to me, dear. I know you better than he does. You forget that I didn't think what he thought."
"That only shows that he knew."
"Knew what?"
