Since You Went Away

I should have told you before. Colonel, if only you could believe that he loved you. Don't...

Colonel William G. Smollett:

He struggled so hard to be a soldier, because I insisted on it. I, in my infinite wisdom. Anne Hilton:
He would have been a soldier anyway, as things turned out. Colonel William G. Smollett:
Yes, but all he learned from me was the glory, the decorations, the parades. Anne Hilton:
Bill had character and courage. I know you gave him those. Colonel William G. Smollett:
I hope so. Anne Hilton:
He loved you. Colonel William G. Smollett:
Mrs. Hilton, I'm not a child. He hated me. To whom did that telegram come? Why, he didn't even list me as next of kin. Anne Hilton:
The telegram came to Jane, because they were to be married. Colonel William G. Smollett:
Oh, I didn't know, of course. Anne Hilton:
I should have told you before. Colonel, if only you could believe that He loved you. Don't you remember the message he sent you? That he was a Smollett, all right, and before the war was over, you'd be proud of him
