JANE (bravely)

It was because I loved her, Ben——

BEN

Oh.

[He turns away disappointed.

JANE

You’re forgetting, I guess, how long we was alone here—when you was in France—then the months we didn’t know where you was, when the police was looking for you—She used to make me promise if ever I could I’d help you.

BEN

Well—all I’ve got to say is you’re no liar.
