Yes--let us try what that will do. We two shall be one. There must no longer be any empty place left by the dead in this house. (Rebecca: I--in Beata's place--?) And then that chapter of my life will be closed--completely closed, never to be reopened. (Rebecca: Do you think so, John?) It must be so! It must! I cannot--I will not--go through life with a dead body on my back. Help me to throw it off, Rebecca; and then let us stifle all memories in our sense of freedom, in joy, in passion. You shall be to me the only wife I have ever had.
