What do you mean?
John.
When you said you wouldn’t marry me I was—I was knocked endways—I felt like a man who’s been shipwrecked. All my plans for the future had been bound up with you. I couldn’t imagine it without you. I felt utterly forlorn.
Sylvia.
But don’t you know what it cost me?
John.
At first I couldn’t think you meant it. When you said you didn’t love me, I couldn’t believe it. It seemed too preposterous. I was awfully miserable, Sylvia.
Sylvia.
John, I didn’t want you to be unhappy.
John.
