Armand St. Just:
Percy, may I ask you something? What's happened to you and Marguerite?
Percy Blakeney:
Marriage, I suppose. Why?
Armand St. Just:
You loved her once, I know.
Percy Blakeney:
Do you remember the first family to go to the guillotine? The St. Cyrs? They told me it was Marguerite who denounced them.
Armand St. Just:
It was a lie!
Percy Blakeney:
I wish I could believe that.
Armand St. Just:
Did you ask her?
Percy Blakeney:
I did. She flashed back a "yes" as sharp as the knife of the guillotine. I watched that execution. The Marquis, his wife, his son. And it was my wife who put them there.
Armand St. Just:
So that's why you ceased to love her. What a tragedy.
Percy Blakeney:
Ceased? I shall love her till I die. That's the tragedy.
