Mrs. Wharton.
Oh, it’s so hard. I wish it were I instead. I’d be so glad to take your place, darling.
Colonel Wharton.
We’ve been so happy together, Evelyn.
Mrs. Wharton.
We have very much to be grateful for.
Colonel Wharton.
Oh, Evelyn, what shall I do?
Mrs. Wharton.
Oh, my dear, I’m so sorry for you. I’m so dreadfully sorry.... I think you’re very brave. If I’d been told like that I—I should have broken down.
