3/13 When I speak to you, you look the other way; it is only when I speak to your daughter that you look at me. It is true that at those times you look at me very hard, and if I am not greatly mistaken, you are not gratified by what you see. You interrupt them indeed whenever you can; you call her away--you appeal to her; you cut across the conversation. Why can't you leave me alone? Your beautiful Angela can't possibly be injured by my conversation, and I have no designs whatever upon her peace of mind. |
