trusted you. She said you would love me if I would let you. She said
few had so forgiving a nature. She tried to persuade me to be at
peace and allow Will, my idol, to love you. I will say that when we
used to walk into church, I was proud of you. All my companions
envied me and my brother. This made me hate you more than ever.

different with me,—but perhaps not, for my heart was full of envy
and jealousy. Now you know the secret of all my conduct. I was
possessed with a devil and, instead of trying to cast him out,
I cherished him.
