[Hesitating.] A year ago I would have said again that it wasn’t true. I didn’t know what love was.
George Winter.
You married me because I was rich.
Catherine.
[Passionately.] No, no.
George Winter.
I’d just won a seat that they’d given me because they thought I hadn’t a chance. I won it off my own bat, because I imposed myself on Middlepool and forced them to vote for me. I was in the public eye. I was a power already. The world seemed at my feet.
Catherine.
All that’s very harmless. You flattered me. The life you offered me seemed so large, so full, and I was very young. I was dazzled by your brilliancy and your success. I mistook it for love.
George Winter.
