    “One word more. You look as if you thought it tainted you to be
    loved by me. You cannot avoid it. Nay, I, if I would, cannot

    loved any woman before: my life has been too busy, my thoughts
    too much absorbed with other things. Now I love, and will love.
    But do not be afraid of too much expression on my part.”
