Claude.

Will you forgive me?

Grace.

[Startled.] I?

Claude.

I’ve been feeling such an awful cad. If I’d only done what you wanted me to, this wouldn’t have happened.

Grace.

That’s not your fault. I didn’t say—what I should have said to make you change your mind.

Claude.

It rather put my back up that you should be so set on letting Peggy stay. But it struck me afterwards, of course you couldn’t feel the same about it as I did. I think if one’s awfully straight, one’s full of charity, don’t you know.
