You've been a false friend to me; and now when Barney don't notice you, you follow him up as no girl that thought anything of herself would.

And you don't even care anything for him; you haven't even that for an excuse." "You don't know but what I do!" Rose cried out, desperately.
"Yes, I do know.

If anybody else came along, you'd care for him just the same." "I shouldn't--Charlotte, I should never have thought of Barney if he--hadn't left you, you know I shouldn't." "That's no excuse," said Charlotte, sternly.
"You said yourself he would never come back to you," said Rose.
"Would you have liked me to have done so by you, if you had been in my place ?" Rose twitched herself about.

"You can't expect him never to marry anybody because he isn't going to marry you," she said, defiantly.
"I don't--I am not quite so selfish as that.

But he won't ever marry anybody he don't like because she follows him up, and I don't see how that alters what you've done." Rose began to walk away.
