No, don't say it! don't say it! Try to forgive me--oh, Jack, I hate myself, and I'm so ashamed of myself! I know I've disappointed you awfully, awfully! You did idealize me; I knew it when you married me, but I told you then I wasn't worth your loving me, didn't I? I never pretended to be worthy of you. I always knew I wasn't. (AUSTIN: Hush!) It's true! it's only too awfully true. But do you remember how you answered me then when I told you I wasn't worth your loving me? (AUSTIN: No.) You took me in your arms and held me so I couldn't have got away if I'd wanted to--which I didn't--and stopped the words on my lips with your kisses. (Her throat fills. He makes no reply. She goes on very pathetically.) How I wish you'd answer me that way now!
