The Narrow Corner1933

Eric Whittenson:
I don't mind waiting. When you love anyone as I love Louise, a few months or a year, don't matter.

Fred Blake:
You love her like that?

Eric Whittenson:
Yes. Of course, you've only just seen her. You don't realize how beautiful she really is. And there's something else in her, too. Like a wathe, not quite at home in the haunts of men. It's so beautiful that I almost regret that she can't always keep it.

Doctor Saunders:
Why shouldn't she?

Eric Whittenson:
I feel she'll lose it when she becomes a wife and a mother. It's the soul of her that's so beautiful.

Doctor Saunders:
Don't be silly.

Eric Whittenson:
Why is it silly? It makes me ashamed that I won't got to her as pure as she'll come to me.

Doctor Saunders:
My dear boy, the most valuable thing I've learned from life is to regret nothing. Life is short. Nature is hostile and man is ridiculous.
