Everything was spoiled for him because of me.

He was sent to a place he detested because of me; put into an office which he loathed, shut up here in this hateful house, because of me.

And he was good to me, good and dear.

Even at the worst he hardly ever left me if he thought I wanted him--not even to go to _her_.

But he was young, and it was an awful life for him; you don't know how awful.
