As Paul finished speaking, he separated Nancy's legs. She tried to fight him off, but he was too strong. "No!" she shrieked. "I am not the kind of woman that you think that I am. You said that I pretended to be innocent and pure. You said that I lied to you, but if I had, what would my purpose have been?"
"Because you coveted my money!" Paul exclaimed.
"Bah!" Nancy's face soured. "What have you ever given to me, other than heartaches and headaches? I had to bear your bad temper for simple things like getting a new dress, and you certainly never gave me money!"
"That's one of your schemes," Paul explained. "You bore all of this. You hid your pride to relax my will so that you could gain my trust and defeat me. But luckily, I saw through your schemes."
"When did I get your money by doing that?" Nancy scoffed.
Paul sighed and said, "The minute you had my heart, you had my fortune."
