My hand, dear Mildred!

Mil. I—I was so young!

Beside, I loved him, Thorold—and I had

No mother; God forgot me: so, I fell.

Guen. Mildred!

Mil. Require no further! Did I dream

That I could palliate what is done? All's true.

Now, punish me! A woman takes my hand?

Let go my hand! You do not know, I see.

I thought that Thorold told you.
