"What on earth has that to do with me?"
"I have lived for her, and worked, and hoped, and dreamed, until she has grown to be the centre of my being. Does she mean all that to you?"
"What business have you to ask me such a question? When you have ruined Mrs. Jones do you put a similar inquiry to Jones? I should think Jones would feel that you were a logical sort of person if you did."
"Ah, but here she is not your wife."
"But she's going to be!"
"As I live she never will."
"Hang it, sir; don't I tell you that she promised?"
"And don't I tell you that was a mistake. If you will keep cool I will give you an explanation. If you decline to listen to an explanation, you must be content to realise the fact."
"Look here, Mr. Summers, you are a sort of man with whom I have had very little to do----"
"My misfortune--not your fault."
