”Yes!”
”I wish you then to tell me whether you are in love with Agnes Dudley?”
”What is love?”
”Do you not know?”
”Only what I have read!”
”You have not felt what it is to love a woman?”
”I have not!”
”Then you do not love Agnes Dudley?”
”I suppose not!”
”Have you thought of it at all, as possible?”
”I have not!”
”Not even for an instant?”
”Not even for an instant!”
”That is very strange. She is a magnificent girl. Beautiful, intellectual, and cultured. You have observed that?”
”Yes! I have observed all that!”
”Nevertheless, you have not thought of loving her?”
”Nevertheless, I have not thought of loving her!”
”Are you tired now of sleeping?”
”I would like to sleep the other sleep! I cannot explain! Yes, I am tired!”
”You need not explain. I understand. This is your first experience, and must not be continued longer. But you must promise me something.”
”I will promise!”
”You remember all that I told you to-night before you went to sleep?”
