[The Amazing Marriage by George Meredith]@TWC D-Link bookThe Amazing Marriage CHAPTER XXVIII 19/32
Marriage and maternity withdrew nothing--added to the fair young woman's bloom. She had gone to her room to pack and dress.
Livia received him.
In the midst of the casual commonplaces her memory was enlightened. 'Oh,' said she, and idly drew a letter out of a blottingpad, 'we have heard from Wales.' She handed it to him.

I do not wish to leave Wales--the people begin to love me; and can one be mistaken? I know if I am loved or hated.
