I assent to them, Letitia. It may be that you still love me, but you have given me few signs of it. You have been... you are... a selfish woman. (LETITIA: Henry!) How often do you give a thought to me... to the needs of my nature? You think of your whims and your prejudices; you think of your social position... of your "world" and its conventions. You think of what your mother approves, of what your father approves, of what this person will say and what that person will say. And I follow you about... I play my part in the hollow show that you call life; but all the time my heart is crying out in me... I am starving... starving!
