Ronny.

Oh, say it, Violet. I want to hear you say it: "I love you."

Violet.

I love you. [He kneels down before her and covers her hands with kisses.] Oh, don't, don't!

Ronny.

My dearest. My very dearest.

Violet.

What have I done? I made up my mind that no one should ever know. I thought then it wouldn't matter. It needn't prevent me from doing my duty to Arthur. It didn't interfere with my affection for him. I didn't see how it could hurt anyone if I kept my love for you locked up in my heart, tightly, and it made me so happy. I rejoiced in it.

Ronny.

I never knew. I used to weigh every word you said to me. You never gave me a sign.
