I wanted to spare you even a moment's pain--I wanted to hush it up, and have done with it.

For God's sake don't ask me to tell you any more! My love! my angel! it's something between my mother and me; it's nothing that need disturb you; it's nothing to anybody now.

I love you, I adore you; my whole heart and soul are yours.

Be satisfied with that.

Forget what has happened.
