Quote context

[...]

- Well, anyway, he has a fine mind. Didn't he impress you as being rather witty?

- Well, he struck me as rather depressed, but of course, it's unfair to judge a man when he's out of a job.

- Out of a job! He never told me!

- Why, that shows you how sensitive he is. You have nothing to worry about. No, he feels that both of you can live very nicely on your salary.

- Did you tell him how much I make?

- Well, he's your fiance, and he asked me. I... When I told him what salary you made he was a little worried, but then I promised him that you were gonna get a raise and he felt much better about it.

- And let me tell you, mentioning that bonus didn't do you any harm at all.

- Oh, this is terrible. Why, I'm outraged! I had no idea he was materialistic like this.

- Why, if you could read his letters. Such ideals, such a lofty point of view. I could quote you passages.

- For instance?

- Well, True love is to be two, and yet one.-A man and a woman blended as angels. Heaven itself. That's Victor Hugo. He stole that.

- Oh. And I thought I was the inspiration for all those beautiful thoughts. Now I find he was just copying words out of a book. He probably didn't mean a single one of them.

- Well, I'm sorry you feel this way about it. I'd hate to think I'm spoiling your Christmas.

- I'd built up such an illusion about him. I thought he was so perfect.

- I had to come along and destroy it, huh?
