Miss Vernon.

If I did or not, I’m very anxious to care for his wife.

Grace.

Why?

Miss Vernon.

Well, partly because I’m afraid you’re not very happy.

Grace.

[Startled.] I? [Almost defiantly.] I should have thought I had everything that a woman can want to make her happy. I’ve got a husband who adores me. We’re rich. We’re—[with a sudden break in her voice]—happy! I wish to God he had married you! It’s clear enough now that he made a mistake.

Miss Vernon.

[With a chuckle.] I don’t think it’s occurred to him, you know.
