P：Leave London?Leave my father?Oh no, Henry, please!
H：I think it might be better for us．We would stand on our own feet．
P：(crying)I shall have to go home．You can't love me if you want to do this dreadful thing．
H：(putting his arms round her)Of course I do．It is for our sake that I suggest this．It will be an adventure．We will be able to travel where we like and I will be able to show you so many lovely places．
P：As long as you love me I shall be happy．
H：And I shall always do that!
