"Then you won."
"I think so.... I have fought it over every day since—alone."
"You poor little thing," said Silvette softly.

"Where is he going?"
"I don't know that he is going at all; he doesn't know it, either.... But, somehow, I dare believe that he is going."
"Where?"
"Into a man's world to engage in a man's business."
"It isn't in him, Diana.... You are taking a great responsibility on your shoulders. Do you realize that you are?"
