I didn't see why Arthur should marry. I gave him all the comforts of home life. And I thought it would interfere with his work. Of course I knew that he liked you. I suffered agonies when he used to go and dine with you quietly. [With a sniff.] He said it rested him.
Anne.
Perhaps it did. Did you grudge him that?
Christina.
I knew you were desperately in love with him.
Anne.
Need you throw that in my face now? Really, I haven't deserved it.
Christina.
My dear, I wish he had married you. It never struck me he'd marry a girl twenty years younger than himself.
Anne.
