The Bracelet TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text MRS. WESTERN. [Fretfully.] Oh, do be a man, and drop this mawkish sentiment! You say she's fond of you--you've made her fond of you. Was this a very pretty thing--for a man of your age to do?<br><br>HARVEY. [Sullenly, as he drops back into his chair.] Never mind my age.<br><br>MRS. WESTERN. Very well then--for a married man?<br><br>HARVEY. An unhappy man.<br><br>MRS. WESTERN. Even granting that--though if you're unhappy it's your own fault--I've always been urging you to go on the County Council--What's to become of the girl, if she stops here?<br><br>HARVEY. [Desperately.] I don't know--but I can't let her go--I tell you I can't!<br><br>MRS. WESTERN. [Scarcely able to conceal her disgust.] Oh, if you knew how painful it is to hear you whining like this! It's pitiable, really! In the girl's own interest--how can she stop?<br><br>HARVEY. She must. I can't let her be turned out. It would break her heart.<br><br>MRS. WESTERN. [Turning right round, and staring at him.] What?<br><br>HARVEY. [Doggedly.] Yes--it would. She's very fond of me, that's the truth. I know that I've been to blame--but it's too late for that now. She's romantic, of course--what you'd call sentimental. I dare say I've played on her feelings--she saw I was lonely. She has a side that you've never suspected--a tender, sensitive side--she has ideals.... Well, do you realise what it would mean, with a girl like that? No one knows her as I do. I'm quite startled sometimes, to find how fond she is of me. Oh, have some sympathy! It's difficult, I know--it's terribly difficult. But she loves me--that's the truth--and a young girl's love--why, she might throw herself into the river!
