“Do you know that what you have shewn me has made me unhappy?”
“Has it? Why?”
“Because your boarder is charming, and I am longing to enjoy her.”
“I am sorry for that, for you can’t possibly go any further; and besides, I know you, and even if you could satisfy your passion without danger to her, I would not give her up to you, you would spoil her.”
“How?”
“Do you think that after enjoying you she would care to enjoy me? I should lose too heavily by the comparison.”
“Give me your hand.”
“No.”
“Stay, one moment.”
“I don’t want to see anything.”
