John, I never got your letter.
gpt
No!
human
John, you doubted me.
gpt
I did, I confess it; I confess it bitterly. But not now, not after one glance into your eyes.
human
John, what did you say in that letter?
gpt
That I held you to your sacred promise; that I refused to give you up.
human
But--but--you did not know my true reason. You did not know why--why----
gpt
Yes, I knew all. Before I wrote that letter I went to Somerset house. I read your grandfather's will.
human
Ah! did you--did you indeed? Oh! what a dreadful time I have gone through.
gpt
Yes, but it is over now. Mrs. Home told me how your father had repented. The sin is forgiven. The agony is past. What God forgets don't let us remember. Lottie, cease to think of it. It is at an end, and so are our troubles. I am with you again. Oh! how nearly I had lost you.
human
Charlotte, I repeat what I said in that letter which never reached you. I refuse to absolve you from your promise. I refuse to give you up. Do you hear? I refuse to give you up.
gpt
But, John, I am poor now.
human
Poor or rich, you are yourself, and you are mine. Charlotte, do you hear me? If you hear me answer me. Tell me that you are mine.
gpt
I am yours, John,
