Rh manifest duty to life. Anything else is rot! This woman’s duty is to save her husband and herself by begetting a healthy child!

[Thinking guiltily and instinctively moving away from her]

I am healthy but he is my friend  there is such a thing as honor!

[Determinedly]

I must take my happiness!

[Frightenedly—comes after him]

But she is ashamed. It’s adultery. It’s wrong.

[Moving away again—with a cold sneering laugh of impatience]

Wrong! Would she rather see her husband wind up in an asylum? Would she rather face the prospect of going to pot mentally, morally, physically herself through year after year of devilling herself and him? Really, Madame, if you can’t throw overboard all such irrelevant moral ideas, I’ll have to give up this case here and now!

[Thinking frightenedly]

Who is talking? is he suggesting me? but you know very well I can’t be the one, Doctor! why not, you’re healthy and it’s a friendly act for all concerned

[Thinking determinedly]

I must have my baby!
