"Yes," said Mr. Duvale.

"Yes."
"Do you believe that I once placed my hopes, my dreams, and my wish for forgiveness in love?"
"I really believe it."
"Then, sir, kiss me as you kiss your daughter. I swear to you that this kiss is the only chaste kiss I have ever received, and it can strengthen me against my love; a week later , your son will come back to you. He may have a painful few days, but he will be fine from now on."
"You are a noble girl," your father said, kissing my forehead. "You are completing a work that God will commend you for; but I am worried about the impact you will leave on my son."
"Ha! Don't worry, sir, he will hate me."
We must draw an unreachable gulf between us, for you as well as for me.
