"More: I am faint when I think of the worst that they may do to me. But worse than that would be to go without you not understanding why I go. Alice: I don't! More: Alice, if you can tell me that you understand, I think I can make a good death, if I have to. Alice: Your death's no "good" to me! More: Alice, you must tell me that you understand! Alice: I don't! I don't believe this had to happen. More: If you say that, Alice, I don't know how I'm to face it. Alice: It's the truth! More: You're an honest woman. Alice: Much good it may do me! I'll tell you what I'm afraid of: that when you're gone, I shall hate you for it."
