I didn't know it was possible to love anybody as I love you, Ronny. (RONNY: My precious!) Oh, don't say things like that to me. It breaks my heart. I wouldn't ever have told you only I was upset by your going. If they'd only given me time to get used to the thought I wouldn't... I wouldn't make such a fool of myself. (RONNY: You can't grudge me that little bit of comfort.) But it all came so suddenly, the announcement that you were going and your going. I felt I couldn't bear it. Why didn't they give me time?
