Copyright
Dedication
‘She was a wild, wicked slip of a girl.’
‘She burned too brightly for this world.’
‘But I begin to fancy you don’t like me.’
‘I’m not going to act the lady among you, for fear I should starve.’
‘He might as well plant an oak in a flowerpot, and expect it to thrive, as imagine he can restore her to vigour.’
‘You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!’
‘I hate him for himself, but despise him for the memories he revives.’
‘Your presence is a moral poison that would contaminate the most virtuous.’
‘I am now quite cured of seeking pleasure in society, be it country or town. A sensible man ought to find sufficient company in himself.’
‘It’s no company at all, when people know nothing and say nothing.’
‘If I had caused the cloud, it was my duty to make an effort to dispel it.’
‘Nonsense, do you imagine he has thought as much of you as you have of him?’
‘It is for God to punish wicked people; we should learn to forgive.’
‘Why am I so changed? Why does my blood rush into a hell of tumult at a few words?’
‘I’m not going to act the lady among you, for fear I should starve.’
‘Honest people don’t hide their deeds.’
‘If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I would be your slave.’
‘They forgot everything the minute they were together again.’
‘You know that I could as soon forget you as my existence!’
‘I have fled my country and gone to the heather.’
‘Any relic of the dead is precious, if they were valued living.’
‘Make the world stop right here. Make everything stop and stand still and never move again. Make the moors never change and you and I never change.’
‘I have not broken your heart – you have broken it; and in breaking it, you have broken mine.’
‘He shall never know I love him: and that, not because he’s handsome, but because he’s more myself than I am.’
‘Time brought resignation and a melancholy sweeter than common joy.’
‘If you ever looked at me once with what I know is in you, I would be your slave.’
