“You need not fear me, for I not only should think it wrong to marry a man that was deficient in sense or in principle, but I should never be tempted to do it; for I could not like him, if he were ever so handsome, and ever so charming, in other respects; I should hate him—despise him—pity him—anything but love him.

It is needless to say, I ought to be able to respect and honour the man I marry, as well as love him, for I cannot love him without.”
