If you will thank me '' he replied let it be for yourself alone. That the wish of giving happiness to you might add force to the other inducements which led me on I shall not attempt to deny. But your family owe me nothing. Much as I respect them I believe I thought only of you.
Jane Austen
Image
If I could not be persuaded into doing what I thought wrong, I never will be tricked into it.

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.
