"I ought to kill you, Mazarine, but that would only be playing your game, for the law would get hold of me, and the girl that has left you would be sorrowful, for she knows I love her, though I never told her so.

She'd be sorry to see the law get at me.

She's going to be mine some day, in the right way.

I'm not going behind your back to say it; I'm announcing it to all and sundry.

I never did a thing to her that couldn't have been seen by all the world, and I never said a thing to her that couldn't be heard by all the world; but I hope she'll never go back to you.
