Marianne Patourel:
[Discussing William's love for Marguerite] But when you wrote to my father you lied. You asked for my hand in marriage.

William Ozanne:
I didn't lie. Listen to me, Marianne. I love you.

Marianne Patourel:
Listen to more lies! You never loved me! You loved *her*. But you sent for me. Why?

William Ozanne:
It wasn't a lie. It was o...

Marianne Patourel:
Why did you send for me?

William Ozanne:
I'll tell you, Marianne. Now I must tell you. I never wanted you to know. I never thought you would ever find out. But now...

Marianne Patourel:
What did you never want me to find out?

William Ozanne:
That I accidentally wrote your name instead of Marguerite's in the letter to your father.

Marianne Patourel:
[She looks crushed] You accidentally wrote my name? Our whole marriage has been a... slip of the pen?

William Ozanne:
Marianne...

Marianne Patourel:
Does Marguerite know of-of your slip of the pen?

William Ozanne:
No. Absolutely not. I never even so much as hinted anything. Oh, please. Believe me, Marianne. I never told a living soul. Well, that's not quite true. I told Tai Haruru. [She looks moritfied] I had to tell him.

Marianne Patourel:
Tai Haruru knew? He knew that you hated me. I thought I reached the lowest depths of degradation. But I didn't expect this. So, Tai knew. Course he knew. Now I understand everything. Why you never would've married me if he hadn't forced you into it. Would you, William? [He turns away guiltily] Oh, William. William don't ever speak to me again!
