Colin: You know that. I don’t want to pretend. Not an abnormal amount! Nothing out of the ordinary, but because this isn’t new to me, I haven’t a doubt. This thing’s permanent. I know.

Gwen: It’s all new to me.

Colin: Can’t you trust me?

Gwen: To teach me love. Yes.

Colin: Gwen, I’ve seen my children in your eyes.

Gwen (with a little cry): Oh, why did you say that? You know I want them, too; but not yet.

Colin: My dear love; if you want to see life, or the world, a bit first—of course—there’s nowhere you can’t go; nothing you can’t have for the asking; I’m going to give the rest of my life to give you everything you want.

Gwen: I only want you.

Colin: That’s all right then. Now; when are we going to get married?...
