(Smiling sadly.) Oh, no! I remember the date only too well. (AUSTIN: I didn't mean that.) I lied to my mother that day for the first time--at any rate, since I was a child--and I've been lying to her ever since. (AUSTIN: But--but why were you married so secretly?) We couldn't afford to marry and set up for ourselves. He expected then to be sent off at once to the Philippines, and--well he didn't want to leave me behind, free; I'm afraid he's rather jealous--you must have found out by now that Jinny is. They all are! And I didn't want him to go so far off without my belonging to him either; I'm that jealous, too! (Smiling.) So--that's why!
