He never looked upon me as anything but a friend. I don't suppose it occurred to him for an instant that my feeling might possibly be different.

It was stupid of me. I ought to have given him a hint.
Anne.
[With a smile.] You took care not to do that, Christina. Perhaps you knew that was all it wanted.
Christina.
[Reflectively.] I don't think he's treated you very well.
Anne.
Nonsense. A man isn't obliged to marry a woman just because she's in love with him. I don't see why loving should give one a claim on the person one loves.
Christina.
