D'you
remember
when you said?
Kipling - Poems
Remorse?
Has Bayard been suddenly conscience-stricken?
Capt. G. (Angrily, his eyes still lowered. ) No! The thing has come to an
end on my side. That's all. Mafisch!
Mrs. H. "That's all. Mafisch! " As though I were a Cairene Dragoman. You
used to make prettier speeches.
D'you remember when you said? --
Capt. G. For Heaven's sake don't bring that back! Call me anything you
like and I'll admit it--
Mrs. H. But you don't care to be reminded of old lies? If I could
hope to hurt you one-tenth as much as you have hurt me tonight--No, I
wouldn't--I couldn't do it--liar though you are.
Capt. G. I've spoken the truth.
Mrs. H. My dear Sir, you flatter yourself. You have lied over the
reason. Pip, remember that I know you as you don't know yourself.
