I know you have wanted me to tell you everything, Beatrix went on, her sobs becoming less frequent,
gpt
If you tell me now, my darling!
human
Yes, I will. I want to, she said, in a pathetic voice.
gpt
It's only you I can tell everything to.
human
I know what you have thought, she said.
gpt
I didn't seem to be noticing, or to care, but I felt it all through me all the time. I couldn't be such a hard-hearted beast as not to mind what you were thinking, darling.

I don't think I've behaved very well to Dick, she said.

I knew that he loved me very much, and yet I played with him. Perhaps I even led him on. But I didn't know how much he really did love me, or I wouldn't have done it. He's so strong and so deep; it was like playing with fire. Perhaps I didn't do anything very wrong till two days ago, for though I'd let him talk to me I hadn't given him any idea that I--that I wanted him to go any further. He has told me since that he would never have asked me to marry him unless I had said or done something to make him think that he could. I suppose I saw that it was like that. I felt, somehow, that he was trying to bend me to his will--no, not that, but there was something in him that _I_ couldn't move. And that vexed me. Oh, I was a beast! We went into the garden; I'd sent Bunting away so that I could show him I wanted to be alone with him. Then I led him on to tell me that he loved me; and at last he did. Then--oh, I hate myself for what I did.
