Violet.
I didn't know it was possible to love anybody as I love you, Ronny.
Ronny.
My precious!
Violet.
Oh, don't say things like that to me. It breaks my heart. I wouldn't ever have told you only I was upset by your going. If they'd only given me time to get used to the thought I wouldn't ... I wouldn't make such a fool of myself.
Ronny.
You can't grudge me that little bit of comfort.
Violet.
But it all came so suddenly, the announcement that you were going and your going. I felt I couldn't bear it. Why didn't they give me time?
