Your conduct to me is cruelty itself; I will bear it no longer.

Consider! in your own interests, consider--before you drive the miserable woman who has trusted you to despair.

You have promised me marriage by all that is sacred.

I claim your promise.

I insist on nothing less than to be what you vowed I should be--what I have waited all this weary time to be--what I _am_, in the sight of Heaven, your wedded wife.
