[The Morals of Marcus Ordeyne by William J. Locke]@TWC D-Link bookThe Morals of Marcus Ordeyne CHAPTER X 21/22
Carlotta is nature; Dora isn't even art.
Why, in the name of men and angels, should I marry Dora? And why (save to call herself Lady Ordeyne) should she want to marry me? I have not trifled with her virgin affections; and that she is nourishing a romantic passion for me of spontaneous growth I decline to believe.
For aught I care she can be as inconsolable as Calypso.
It will do her good.
She can write a little story about it in _The Sirens' Magazine_. I am shocked.
