Oh it is shameful of you to say such things! she said.

And you know they are not true. There is not any one I have ever seen who is so manly and frank and unselfish as Mr. Trelyon--not any one; and if I have seen that, if I have admired it too much, well, that is a great misfortune, and I have to suffer for it.
human
To suffer? yes, said he bitterly.

That is a pretty form of suffering that makes you plan a runaway marriage--a marriage that would bring into your possession the largest estates in the north of Cornwall. A very pretty form of suffering! May I ask when the experiment is to be repeated?

You may insult me as you like--I am only a woman,
gpt
Insult you? he cried with fresh vehemence.
human
Is it insult to speak the truth? Yesterday forenoon, when I saw you, you were all smiles and smoothness. When I spoke of our marriage you made no objection. But all the same you knew that at night--

You ought to believe me when I tell you I knew no more about it than you did. When I met him there at night, it was all so sudden, so unexpected, I scarcely knew what I said; but now--but now I have time to think. Oh, Mr. Roscorla, don't think that I do not regret it. I will do anything you ask me--I will promise what you please--indeed, I will undertake never to see him again as long as I live in this world; only, you won't ask me to keep my promise to you?
