George. [Dryly.] I don't suppose that was his intention.

Daisy. Except for that Harry would have insisted on going to Chung-king. Now there's no possibility of that for at least a year.

George. I suppose not.

Daisy. We've got a year before us, George, a whole year. And in a year anything can happen.

George. [Gravely.] Do you never have any feeling that we've behaved rottenly to Harry?

Daisy. I? I've been happy for the first time in my life. At last I've known peace and rest. Oh, George, I'm so grateful for all you've given me! In these three months you've changed the whole world for me. I thought I couldn't love you more than I did. I think every day my love grows more consuming.

George. [With a sigh.] I've never known a single moment's happiness.

Daisy. That's not true. When I've held you in my arms I've looked into your eyes and I've seen.

George. Oh, I know. There've been moments of madness in which I forgot everything but that I loved you. I'm a low rotten cad. No one could despise me more than I despise myself. I've loved you so that there was room for nothing else in my soul. Waking and sleeping you've obsessed me.

Daisy. That's how I want you to love me.
