"We are told that a man must leave father and mother and cling to his wife, and surely it's the same with a woman and her husband. Victor is my husband, or soon will be."

"I promised myself to him, and I intend to keep my promise."
"But he's a prisoner, and if the governing authority objects...."

"That you never shall. Not in this island anyway. No clergyman here will marry you to that man against my wish."
"Then I'll go to him just the same."
"What?"
"Yes, I'm prepared even for that sacrifice."
"You're mad. You're both mad—stark mad."
