My husband. We were married six years ago and more. We were married in Scotland, privately; but he is my husband, and five days after our wedding he left me. Is that true?

Perfectly. You have forgotten nothing, except the reason of my departure. If you think it worth while troubling Phillis with that, why----

We quarrelled; that was the reason. He used cruel and bitter language. He gave me back my liberty.

We separated, Phillis, after a row, the like of which you may conceive by remembering that Mrs. Cassilis was then six years younger, and even more ready for such encounters than at present. We separated; we agreed that things should go on as if the marriage, which was no marriage, had never taken place. Janet, the maid, was to be trusted. She stayed with her mistress; I went abroad. And then I heard by accident that my wife had taken the liberty I gave her, in its fullest sense, by marrying again. Then I came home, because I thought that chapter was closed; but it was not, you see; and for her sake I wish I had stayed in America.

He is my husband still. I can claim him when I want him; and I claim him now. I say, Lawrence, so long as I live you shall marry no other woman. You are mine; whatever happens, you are mine.

Lawrence, forgive me, forgive me! Take me away. I never loved any one but you. Forgive me!

Let me go with you, somewhere, out of this place; let us go away together, we two. I have never loved any one but you--never any one but you, but you!
