Oh, Sam Coast, you don't know what love is! Love doesn't make beasts of men, it makes men of beasts. It doesn't take all for itself--it sacrifices all for another. Love isn't an enemy that lays traps and makes ambushes,--love is a friend whose heart is a divine magnet! Real love makes an angel of a woman and a hero of a man, but love such as you have--oh, the happiness in this world that's been lost through it! (COAST: You don't know me!) I didn't, but I do! You've dragged down my brother, sacrificed him and my belief in him, almost, for your own selfish end, tried to trap me into marrying you when you know I didn't love you. (COAST: But you would--) Once perhaps, though I can't imagine it! But not now! No! I'd starve and suffer and die now before I could ever love you. [ A pause; COAST goes to the table and stands half shamefaced a moment, then he pulls himself up and turns.
