And then in a day or two you came and told me that my father hadn't left anything and what there was went to his relations in England. (GEORGE: Naturally he didn't expect to die.) (Passionately.) If he was going to leave me like that why didn't he let me stay with my Chinese mother? Why did he bring me up like a lady? Oh, it was cruel. (GEORGE: Yes. It was unpardonable.) I was so lonely and so frightened. You seemed to be sorry for me. You were the only person who was really kind to me. You were practically the first man I'd known. I loved you. I thought you loved me. Oh, say that you loved me then, George.
