Well?
Denham. We have had our fit of madness. Now we are sane, and Blanche is going away. That is all. (_Goes to table_ L.) Mrs. Denham. Oh, indeed! Arthur, Arthur, I trusted in your love, and you have betrayed me. You love this woman! Mrs. Tremaine. (_coming down_) Let _me_ speak, Constance. If there be a fault or a folly in the matter, it is mine. You hate me; you have cause. I have--been vain and selfish. I thought, like many another woman, I could play with temptation-- Mrs. Denham. (_with fierce scorn_) And with your experience, too! Mrs. Tremaine. I know my own weakness now. But I am going away, Constance--going away out of your lives for ever. If I have sinned, I can expiate. Mrs. Denham. |
