Start:
I didn鈥檛 write them letters. I said I didn鈥檛 write them letters. All this time I was afraid that you鈥檇 find me out. This good noble man from Panama. I have all of your letters here. I look at them every day. I have one that looks as though it鈥檚 weeping, because the words fade away into nothing, and another that looks as though it鈥檚 been through a hard day, because there鈥檚 a smudge of dirt in each corner, and it smells of kerosene and burnt sugar. [...]
End:
Who wrote them letters, George? Tell me! YOU TELL ME! I ain鈥檛 really Mrs. Armstrong, am I? I been holding on to that, and that woman ain鈥檛 real. We more strangers now, than on the eve of our wedding. At least I knew who I was back then. But I ain鈥檛 gonna let you hurt that woman. No! She鈥檚 a good decent woman and worthy. Worthy!
