From East of Suez: A Play in Seven Scenes by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

And sometimes you were so exquisitely tender. Your voice was soft and caressing. And you called me by sweet names so that the tears ran down my cheeks. You thought you held me in your arms and you pressed me to your heart. You were happy then; you were so happy that I was afraid you'd die of it. I know what love is and you love me. (GEORGE: For God's sake, stop. Why do you torture me?) And then you were madly jealous. You hated Harry. I think you could have killed him. (GEORGE: That's not true. That's infamous. Never. Never.) Oh, you can say that with your lips! Sometimes you thought he put his arms round me and kissed me and you sobbed aloud. Oh, it was so painful. I forgot that you were unconscious and I took your hands and said: "He's not here. You and I are alone, alone, alone." And sometimes I think you understood. You fell back. And a look of peace came on your face as if you were in heaven and you said--do you know what you said? You said: "Beloved, beloved, beloved." [ (Her voice breaks and the tears course down her cheeks.) GEORGE is shattered by what she has told him.
