“You’ll wreck her whole life—her health, to begin with.”
“But how, doctor? She’s perfectly happy. It’s what we both want to do.”
“But doesn’t she love you?”
“Why, yes—but not that way.”

“Because—she’s told me so.”
“And if it was otherwise—do you think she’d tell you that?”
“Why, of course she would.”
