"Are you crazy?" she gasped. And I truly believe she thought I was.
"Yes—no—I don't know. If I am, my insanity begins and ends only in you. I know only one thing—that I love you and that some day—some day, I am going to marry you, though the whole world and yourself oppose me."
She stood up.
"But, oh! why did you say that?"
"Because it is true."
"We were such good friends."
"We never were—I never was—for a moment."
"You were."
"Never."
"We were just beginning to understand each other, to be such good friends, and now you have ended it all."
