[The Argonauts of North Liberty by Bret Harte]@TWC D-Link bookThe Argonauts of North Liberty CHAPTER III 9/19
My God! I used to think you loved me as I loved you--for THAT! Why did you break your promise and follow me here? I believed you the first day we met, when you said there was no wrong in my listening to you; that it should go no further; that you would never seek to renew it without my consent.
You tell me I don't love you, and I tell you now that we must part, that frightened as I was, foolish as I was, that day was the first day I had ever lived and felt as other women live and feel.
If I ran away from you then it was because I was running away from my old self too.
Don't you understand me? Could you not have trusted me as I trusted you ?" "I broke my promise only when you broke yours.
When you would not meet me I followed you here, because I loved you." "And that is why you must leave me now," she said, starting from his outstretched arms again.
