Boyd: No; never easy. It needs patience, and love.
Hunter: I understand, bitterly, because I love.
Boyd: It needs patience, and love. And there must be no confusion of pride.
Hunter: What do you mean?
Boyd: There are women whose talent it is to serve. And some are great lovers.
Hunter: Margaret's love is wonderful.
Boyd: Have you lost it?
Hunter: What does that mean? I tell you she loves Finlay.
Boyd: How do you know?
Hunter: She told me.
Boyd: It was not a secret that you surprised?
Hunter: No.
Boyd: Have you liked Finlay?
Hunter: I suppose so. Yes—it's the uglier for that.
Boyd: She told you at once?
Hunter: I think so. Yes, I'm sure of that.
Boyd: Did she say anything of her love for you?
Hunter: That it was untouched by this.
