Arthur.
It's only the worthless who are broken by unhappiness. If you have faith and courage and honesty unhappiness can only make you stronger.
Violet.
Have you thought of yourself, Arthur? What will you feel when you see him with me? What will you suspect when you're working in your office and don't know where I am?
Arthur.
I shall know that you are unhappy, and I shall feel the most tender compassion for you.
Violet.
You're exposing me to a temptation that I want with all my heart to yield to. What is there to hold me back? Only the thought that I must do my duty to you. What is there to reward me? Only the idea that perhaps I'm doing a little something for the country.
Arthur.
