:32:03
It is a sealed pact.
:32:06
It is a chosen life in which I
have been wondrously happy...
:32:10
... and not alone in being so.
:32:13
"I have chosen a way, dear friend.
I must hold to it."
:32:18
"Be patient, be generous, forgive."
:32:22
"May I also request that you
return my correspondence."
:32:26
"In this way at least our letters
shall remain together."
:32:30
"I have known incandescence and must
decline to sample it any further."
:32:37
"This goes to the post. Forgive its faults
and forgive me. Christabel."
:32:45
My dear Christabel, your letter came
as a shock to me, I will confess.
:32:52
I was at first not only shocked,
but angry that you should write so.
:32:58
As you have asked about my wife,
however, I will tell you.
:33:02
I love Ellen...
:33:05
... but not as I love you.
:33:08
There are good reasons I cannot discuss
why my love for you may not hurt her.
:33:14
I do not feel I have been
a proper wife to you...
:33:17
...without children or any physical...
- Nonsense, Ellen.
:33:22
Nonsense.
:33:26
There are many types of love.
:33:30
All sorts.
:33:32
And ours...
:33:35
...that good between us...
:33:39
...has been most profound.
:33:45
I must say to you what is in my mind.
I've called you my muse, and so you are.
:33:51
I could call you,
with even greater truth, my love.
:33:56
- Whoa, whoa.
- What?
:33:59
Don't do that. What?
