She felt that, in quitting Donwell, he must be sacrificing a great deal of independence; that in living constantly with her father, and in no house of his own, there would be much, very much, to be borne with.

You must know. Surely you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me.

Miss Elizabeth. I have struggled in vain and I can bear it no longer. These past months have been a torment. I came to Rosings with the single object of seeing you. I had to see you. I have fought against my better judgment, my family’s expectations, the inferiority of your birth by rank and circumstance. All these things I am willing to put aside and ask you to end my agony. […] I love you.

I just feel like women, they… they have minds and and they have souls as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition and they’ve got talent as well as just beauty. And I’m sick of people saying that love is just all a woman is fit for. I’m so sick of it.

“Which of them?” he said. “How many?” He spoke in English now, and his voice was remarkably matter-of-fact, as it might be if he were inquiring as to the number of guests expected for dinner, and I found the simple tone of it steadying.     “I don’t know” I said. “They—it was dark.”     He nodded, squeezed my arm hard, and turned.     “Kill them all.” he said to Fergus, his voice still calm.
