But why?
You have no family ties, I believe,
that confine you to Dorset.
I have ties.
To this French gentleman?
Permit me to insist.
These things are like wounds.
If no one dares speak of them, they fester.
If he doesn't return...
...he was not worthy of you.
- If he returns...

- You are a cunning, wicked creature!
- May I know of what I am accused?
