- Why don't you give her another chance? I know you feel that she has deceived you and sold information to your enemies, perhaps even been unfaithful to you.

- That's dreadful. If it's true, you have a certain justification in wanting to crush her.

- Any man can give love where he's sure it's returned. That isn't love at all. But to give love with no thought of merit, no thought of return, no thought of gratitude even, that's ordinarily the privilege of God. And now it's your privilege.

I know. But human life is the cheapest thing in China.

Don't you tell me everything you know? And if you don't, don't I know how to find it out anyway?
