Alec.
And now you don't?
Lucy.
I trust you just as much as ever. I know it's impossible that you should have done a shameful thing. But there it stands in black and white, and you have nothing to say in answer.
Alec.
I know it's very difficult. That is why I asked you to believe in me.
Lucy.
I do, Alec—with all my soul. But have mercy on me. I'm not so strong as I thought. It's easy for you to stand alone. You're iron, but I'm a weak woman.
Alec.
Oh, no, you're not like other women. I was proud of your unconquerable spirit.
