Where are you going? to her?
SYLVESTER.
I don’t know yet. I don’t know if I’m welcome.
[Playing with the packet, mechanically.
MARGERY.
That rests with you. You say, she’s been no wife to you; but have you been a husband to her?
SYLVESTER.
Why do you take her part? She’s injured you enough.
MARGERY.
Yes; she has injured me; but now I know what it is to live without love, and to want it, I can pardon her. Can’t you? [Goes to him and gives him both her hands.] Forgive her, Captain Sylvester—freely as I do you—give her the love that you have offered me—and you will find your wife’s a woman just as much as I am.
