A 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.
