Ah, you're thinking of the--difference between you and Aubrey? (PAULA.: Yes, I am thinking of it.) Well, so am I. How long----? (PAULA.: Getting on for three weeks.) Bless me, it must be! And this would have been such a night to have healed it! Moonlight, the stars, the scent of flowers; and yet enough darkness to enable a kind woman to rest her hand for an instant on the arm of a good fellow who loves her. Ah, ha! it's a wonderful power, dear Mrs. Aubrey, the power of an offended woman! Only realise it! Just that one touch--the mere tips of her fingers--and, for herself and another, she changes the colour of the whole world!
