Adr. [Still hopelessly, not looking at her] No.
Soph. [Coming nearer] And we part forever? [He makes no answer. She comes nearer] Forever? [He is still silent. She comes near enough to turn his face to hers] Forever, Adrian?
Adr. Sophie! [Takes her in his arms]
Soph. O, do you think I will ever leave you now?
Adr. You do understand!
Soph. [Smiling] That I can never be in your way? You will always sacrifice me first? Yes, I knew that all the time, but you didn't.
Adr. And it makes no difference?
Soph. How can it when I love you?
Adr. I wonder if God understands women.
Soph. O, some of them. The rest He made to puzzle over when eternity hangs on His hands.
