From Cæsar's Wife: A Comedy in Three Acts by W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

female · anguished · 59 sec

Anne is so anxious that Ronny should go to Paris. He's made all his preparations, don't you think you might just as well let him go? (ARTHUR: I'm afraid I don't. I want him here.) It would be such a joy to me if I could go and tell Christina that you'd consented. It would make such a difference to me, you see. I want her to be fond of me, and I know she'd never forget if I'd been able to do her a good turn like that. Oh, Arthur, won't you? (ARTHUR: Darling, I'm afraid I can't.) I promise I'll never ask you anything again as long as I live if you'll only do this for me. It means so much to me. You don't know how much.
