"I do not think so. Obedience is certainly your duty so long as it is not sin; but it is also your duty to let him know fully how hard it is to you to obey in this case. I think when he hears that, he will reconsider the matter; for at present, like most others, he believes it to be only child's play. You must show him it is something more."
"You may think he is not easy to do with; he watches me like a tethered goat."
"But you break the chain again and again in one day."

"Yes, that way, but are you certain that I think of you so often?"
"Were it else, you would not be here now."
"Oh! but you sent me a message to come."
"But you came because your thoughts drove you."
"Rather because it was a fine day."
