[_Beside himself._] I choose to remain.
JENNY.
What d'you mean?
BASIL.
Look here, until to-day I swear to you before G.o.d that I've never done anything or said anything that you couldn't have known. Do you believe me?
JENNY.
I don't believe that you're not in love with that woman.
BASIL.
I don't ask you to.
JENNY.
What!
BASIL.
I said, until to-day I've been absolutely faithful to you. Heaven knows, I've tried to do my duty. I've done all I could to make you happy. And I've struggled with all my might to love you.
JENNY.
Say it out if you've got anything to say, I'm not afraid to hear.
BASIL.
I don't wish to deceive you. It's best that you should know what has happened.
JENNY.
[_Scornfully._] Now for another thumping lie.
BASIL.
This afternoon I told Hilda I loved her.... And she loves me too.
JENNY.
[_With a cry of rage._] Oh!
[_She hits at his face with her umbrella, but he wards the blow, and, s.n.a.t.c.hing the umbrella from her, throws it away._
BASIL.
You've brought it on yourself. You made me too unhappy.
[JENNY, _panting and bewildered, stands helpless, trying to control herself_.
BASIL.
And now it's the end. The life we led was impossible. I tried to do something that was beyond my power. I'm going away. I can't and I won't live with you any longer.
JENNY.
[_Frightened at herself and at what he says._] Basil, you don't mean that?
BASIL.
I've struggled against it for months. And now I'm beaten.
JENNY.
You've got me to count with. I won't let you go.
BASIL.
[_Bitterly._] What more d'you want? Isn't it enough that you've ruined my whole life?
JENNY.
[_Hoa.r.s.ely._] You don't love me?
BASIL.
I never loved you.
JENNY.
Why did you marry me?
BASIL.
Because you made me.
JENNY.
[_In a whisper._] You never loved me--even at the beginning?
BASIL.
Never.
JENNY.
