You say that I have read your friend well.

That is true.

Do you think that it is easy for me to lessen myself in my own eyes?
No woman lives who is prouder than I.Remember, you are not to hint at what I propose to do, nor who I am.

See! It is all because you read something which was not intended for your eyes.

Be my friend, or be my enemy, it is a matter of indifference to me.
