"But how could you do it? I have always known you as a proud and honourable woman."
"I did it first of all for your sake, Kitty. I did think you cared for Anthony; and I thought that if this entanglement were out of the way he would care for you. I was mistaken all round."
"I ought to have spoken, Auntie Janie. Ah! I see now how much trouble can come from even a little deceit."
"What do you want me to do, Kitty?"
"Anthony must know."
"You have no thought but for Anthony."
"The wrong must be undone—if it is possible now."
"He will turn his back on me for ever."
"He will remember that you are his mother."
"I have given him no motherhood. All I had I gave to you—and I have lost you, too."
