[A Lady of Quality by Frances Hodgson Burnett]@TWC D-Link bookA Lady of Quality CHAPTER IX--"I give to him the thing he craves with all his soul--myself" 12/13
I have no virtues--where should I have got them from, forsooth, in a life like mine? I mean I have no women's virtues; but I have one that is sometimes--not always--a man's.
'Tis that I am not a coward and a trickster, and keep my word when 'tis given.
You fear that I shall lead my lord a bitter life of it.
'Twill not be so.
He shall live smoothly, and not suffer from me.
