I wish with all my soul I had never heard your name.

I confess you troubled me.

I go beyond even _that_, I declare that you have been my undoing! And now, let us make an end of it.

I am a poor man and a busy one, this task your father laid upon my shoulders is too heavy for me.

I shall resign my guardianship; Gwendoline--Lady Baring--will accept the position.
