"I don't hate it. Only, oh, Kitty, dear, do you really love him?"
"Yes; I love him."
"But—you've only known him ten days. I don't think I could love a man I'd only known ten days."
"It makes no difference."
"That's what Robert said."
"Yes; he said it to me. Ah, I know what you mean. You think it's all very well for him, because men are different. It's me you can't understand; you think I must be horrid."
"Oh no, no. It's only—I think I'm different, that's all."
"Is that all, Janey?"
"Yes."
"And will you love me a little if I love him a great deal? Or do you hate me for loving him?"
