You’ve given up everything for our sake.
Catherine.
I wish I could think so. I gave up my divorce because—because I was afraid. I couldn’t risk the regret that Robert might feel later. I should always have been looking for it.... One must never forget that love is a woman’s whole life, but it’s never more than part of a man’s, never.
Lady Francis.
What did you tell him?
Catherine.
I wrote and said I found it impossible to go on with my action. I begged him not to try to move me. I told him I was very unhappy.
Lady Francis.
Poor child.
Catherine.
