((More in sorrow than in anger.)) No, Bella, much as I may regret it--I do not, I will not deny the truth. (MRS. WHEEDLES: Why did you do it, Henery?) It was wrong of me. I own it. We are none of us perfect. The woman tempted me, and I fell. (MRS. BEN DIXON: I tempted you?) You, Bella. I do not blame you. You loved me--at least you said you did--and you dangled your purse before me. I thought of all the good that I could do to others with your money. I always do think of others--it is my weakness. I sacrificed myself for the good of humanity.
