Haven't the right to?
You tell me I haven't the right ?" "No, you haven't the right! Moreover, I won't have it." Her face assumed an expression of disgust.

"It's a mean trick to spy on a woman, if you once try to find out where I'm going, I'll send you about your business, and quickly at that." "Then," he murmured, thunderstruck, "we are nothing to each other, I am nothing to you.

We have never belonged to each other.

You are mine; I am going to take you back; I am going to take you back, and keep you.
