I suppose you think I’m just a wicked liar.

John.

I ask you no questions. I make you no reproaches. What is the matter?

Sylvia.

Oh, John, after all we’ve been to one another it’s brutal to talk to me like that. If you think I did wrong, say so.

John.

Why?

Sylvia.

You’re cruel and hard. [She goes up to him.] John, you must listen to me.

John.
