That is the pity of it. Poor Thora!
She thinks you are slipping away from her?
It is very pitiful--I see how I have made her suffer.
What will happen if you leave her altogether?
Her heart will break--her tender, sweet, child heart will break.
Can you break Thora's heart?
No, no, no! Better break my own!
Then what are you going to do?
I must go on with the marriage. I see now that I must--it is my duty--there is no help for it.
Wait! There is something you have not thought about. If you go on with your contract and marry Thora, you must be prepared to live her life.
