Or did you so, do I not know your repentance and regret would surely follow. I do--and I release you, with a full heart, for the love of him you once were. You will forget all this--may you be happy in the life you have chosen! (She slowly exits R. H. SCROOGE throws aside his cloak, and appears as before.)
