"I thought we should find something in it. I wanted you to be happy. More than anything I wanted you to be happy. I thought I'd be killed in my next action and that nothing would matter."
"That you wouldn't have to keep it up?"
"Oh, I'd have kept it up all right if Anne hadn't been there. I cared enough for you to want you to be happy. I wanted you to have a child. You'd have liked that. That would have made you happy."
"Poor Jerrold——"
"I'd have been all right if I hadn't seen Anne again."
"When did you see her again?"
"Last spring."
"Only last spring?"
"Yes, only."
"When I was away."
