Arthur.
Oh, my dear, don't you see that things said can never be taken back. We may both know something....
Violet.
[Interrupting.] What do you mean?
Arthur.
But so long as we don't tell one another we can ignore it. If certain words pass our lips then the situation is entirely changed.
Violet.
You're frightening me.
Arthur.
I don't wish to do that. Only you can tell me nothing that I don't know. But if you tell me you may do irreparable harm.
