I asked you to marry me only because I couldn’t stay in the shack without.
Taylor.
I guess you asked me to marry you because you was in a hell of a temper. You wanted to get away from Ed’s farm right then, and you didn’t care what you did so long as you quit. But you was darned sorry for what you’d done by the time you’d packed your box.
Norah.
[Frigidly.] What makes you think that?
Taylor.
Why, when you come back in the kitchen you was as white as a sheet. You wanted to say you’d changed your mind, but your darned pride wouldn’t let you.
Norah.
I wouldn’t have stayed on in that house for anything in the world.
Taylor.
