Maxie
Do you mind if I ask a question? I think I know the answer.
Edna
What?
Maxie
You’re in love with him, aren’t you? You know, you can tell me. I’m for you—I want to help you. You do—love him? Enough to keep him from—ruining himself?
Edna turns away.; Edna nods.
Edna
How do you mean?
Maxie
He’s engaged to be married. You know that?
Edna
I—supposed that was it.
