You say what you hear of me does not concern you. Anything you hear of me does concern you vitally.

Everything I do, important or trivial, has its relation to you. Do you believe me? Alice, you must believe me. You do believe me. How can you say that anything you hear of me does not concern you? It concerns you above every living person. It concerns your happiness----

Such wildness--such extravagance!

I tell you I am neither wild nor extravagant. Our happiness, our very lives are bound up together. It isn’t that I say to you, you are mine--I am yours.

How can you say such things!
gpt
I say them because I can’t escape your influence in my life. I only want to come up to where you are--not to drag you down to where I am--to where I have been condemned to be from the cradle. If what you hear of me conflicts with what I say to you, believe nothing of what you hear. His words fell like blows.

If I could show you my very heart I could not be more open. It is you who are everything to me--you alone.

Oh, my heart!
