5/40 Be kind to her for my sake, and if any one else claims her or offers to take her from you, resist them. It's a more priceless gift than you think; much more priceless than the one which I take from you by my death. I could never have been happy with you; you could never have been happy with me. Fate stood between us; a darker and more inexorable fate than you, in your kindly experience of life, could imagine. |
