I hold in my possession documents that could prove his identity as well as any he can obtain in Germany.

But I need not produce them, for I am sure it will be enough for you to know that I am engaged to be married to him--I am engaged to be married to Dr.Claudius," she repeated very distinctly in her deep musical tones; and before Barker could recover himself, she had passed from the room into the lights and the sound of music beyond.
What do you think, reader?
Was it not a brave and noble action of hers to vindicate Claudius by taking upon herself the whole responsibility of his love rather than by going home and sending Mr.Barker documentary evidence of the Doctor's personality?

Start not at the infinity of social crime that such a doubt defines.

It is there.

It is one thing for a woman to love a man at arm's length conditionally; it is another for her to take him to her heart and trust him.
