"I did not know you were travelling too. Why?"

"Why? You know that I am going in order to be where you are. I can't help it."

"Forgive me if what I said displeases you."

"What you're saying is wrong and I beg of you, if you are a good man, to forget what you've said as I am going to forget it."

"Not one word, not one gesture of yours will I ever forget, nor can I ever forget."
