It was easy to be brave where my father was concerned, and George, but you're the man I love, and it's so different. I don't know any more how to stand alone.

Alec.
Do you remember that only an hour ago I told you that I'd done nothing which I wouldn't do again? I gave you my word of honour that I could reproach myself for nothing.
Lucy.
Oh, I know. I'm so utterly ashamed of myself. But I can't bear the doubt.
Alec.
Doubt! You've said the word at last.
Lucy.
