Tavy, if it is to become true you must lose me as well as love me. (OCTAVIUS: Oh!.) (with conviction) Tavy: I wouldn't for worlds destroy your illusions. I can neither take you nor let you go. I can see exactly what will suit you. You must be a sentimental old bachelor for my sake. (OCTAVIUS: Ann: I'll kill myself.) Oh no you won't: that wouldn't be kind. You won't have a bad time. You will be very nice to women; and you will go a good deal to the opera. A broken heart is a very pleasant complaint for a man in London if he has a comfortable income.
