[Jess by H. Rider Haggard]@TWC D-Link bookJess CHAPTER XX 24/27
It will be a courtship of blood.
Well, the kisses will be the sweeter, and in the end she will love me the more for what I have dared for her. "So, Frank Muller, so! Ten years ago you said to yourself: 'There are three things worth having in the world--first, wealth; secondly, women, if they take your fancy, or, better still, one woman, if you desire her above all others; thirdly, power.' Now, you have got the wealth, for one way or another you are the richest man in the Transvaal.
In a week you will have the woman you love, and who is sweeter to you than all the world besides.
In five years' time you will have the power--absolute power.
That old man is clever; he will be President.
