[The Witch of Prague by F. Marion Crawford]@TWC D-Link bookThe Witch of Prague CHAPTER XIV 39/42
I know why you are willing to listen to me, this last time, so patiently, with only now and then a sneer and a cutting laugh." "Why ?" "In order to make me suffer the more.
You will never forgive me now, for you know that I know, and that alone is a sin past all forgiveness, and over and above that I am guilty of the crime of loving when you have no love for me." "And as a last resource you come to me and recapitulate your misdeeds. The plan is certainly original, though it lacks wit." "There is least wit where there is most love, Unorna.
I take no account of the height of my folly when I see the depth of my love, which has swallowed up myself and all my life.
In the last hour I have known its depth and breadth and strength, for I have seen what it can bear.
And why should I complain of it? Have I not many times said that I would die for you willingly--and is it not dying for you to die of love for you? To prove my faith it were too easy a death.
