Anna
I swear to you that your interests are more dear to me than my own.
Elizabeth
First of all, I swear to you that I love Manly with all my heart.
Anna
I never doubted that for a minute.
Elizabeth
And, I have promised to love him all my life.
Anna You shouldn't make such a promise; a girl should never pin herself down like that.
Elizabeth (puzzled)
Why?
Anna
Because a hundred to one, she will be unable to keep her word.
Elizabeth
I will keep mine with Manly.
Anna (maliciously)
You don't intend to marry him then?
Elizabeth
To the contrary, I've promised never to marry anyone else.
