eak, selfish, and hard — able to think of their pain without a pain to myself that would have destroyed all temptation. Oh,Maillot Kagawa Pas Cher, what is Lucy feeling now? She believed in me — she loved me — she was so good to me. Think of her ——”
Maggie’s voice was getting choked as she uttered these last words.
“I can’t think of her,Irlande du Nord Pas Cher,” said Stephen, stamping as if with pain. “I can think of nothing but you,Maillot Walcott Pas Cher, Maggie. You demand of a man what is impossible. I felt that once; but I can’t go back to it now. And where is the use of your thinking of it,Air Jordan Retro 6 Damskie, except to torture me? You can’t save them from pain now; you can only tear yourself from me,Maillot Pedro Pas Cher, and make my life worthless to me. And even if we could go back,CG Dame Expedition Parka, and both fulfil our engagements — if that were possible now — it would be hateful, horrible, to think of your ever being Philip’s wife — of your ever being the wife of a man you didn’t love. We have both been rescued from a mistake.”
A deep flush came over Maggie’s face,Maillot Cuadrado Pas Cher, and she couldn’t speak. Stephen saw this. He sat down again, taking her hand in his, and looking at her with passionate entreaty.
“Maggie! Dearest! If you love me, you are mine. Who can have so great a claim on you as I have? My life is bound up in your love. There is nothing in the past that can annul our right to each other; it is the first time we have either of us loved with our whole heart and soul.”
Maggie was still silent for a little while, looking down. Stephen was in a flutter of new hope; he was going to triumph. But she raised her eyes and met his with a glance that was filled with the anguish of regret, not with yielding.
“No, not with my whole heart and soul, Stephen,Chaussures Nike TN Femme,” she said with timid resolution. “I have never consented to it with my whole mind. There are memories,Belstaff New Albatross Jackor, and affections,Chaussures Nike Femme, and longings after perfect goodness, that have such a strong hold on me; they would never quit me for long; they would come back and be pain to me — repentance. I couldn’t live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God. I have caused sorrow already — I know — I feel it; but I have never deliberately consented to it; I have never said,Ralph Lauren Flag Polo, ‘They shall suffer, that I may have joy.’ It has never been my will to marry you; if you were to win consent from the momentary triumph of my feeling for you, you would not have my whole soul. If I could wake back again into the time before yesterday, I would choose to be true to my calmer affections,Maillot Coutinho Pas Cher, and live without the joy of love.”
Stephen loosed her hand, and rising impatiently, walked up and down the room in suppressed rage.
“Good God!” he burst out at last, “what a miserable thing a woman’s love is to a man’s! I could commit crimes for you — and you can balance and choose in that way. But you don’t love me; if you had a tithe of the feeling for me that I have for you, it would be impossible to you to think for a moment of sacrificing me. But it weighs nothing with you that you are robbing me of my life’s happiness
