I fell in love with Selina, and Isabella--if you will pardon my vanity--fell in love with me.

She hated her sister on my account.

I would have married Selina, but her father, who was hard up, wished her to marry a wealthy American.

Isabella, to part Selina from me, helped her father.

What arguments they used I do not know, but Selina suddenly changed in her manner towards me.
