Alec.
Don't you realise that I would never have asked you to marry me if my conscience hadn't been quite clear? Don't you realise that the reasons I have for holding my tongue must be of overwhelming strength?
Lucy.
But I am going to be your wife, and I love you, and you love me.
Alec.
I implore you not to insist, Lucy. Let us remember only that the past is gone and we love one another. It's impossible for me to tell you anything.
Lucy.
Oh, but you must now. If any part of the story is true, you must give me a chance of judging for myself.
Alec.
I'm very sorry, I can't.
