Start: What have I done! My ancient weakness loses me the day! I’m just a maid who can’t say “nay”.

[... ...]

End: Of this mis-fired adventure, what am I to say -- !! (She takes Oxford’s ring, now on a ribbon around her neck. Looks at it, for moment. A slow burn, then a slow smile.) That I had a wicked and a sweet night once -- that showed me what life might be, if only I had not been me.
