"You mean that, unlike yourself, I may not improve on acquaintance? Ah, of course that＇s very possible.But think, to speak to you as I do, how determined I must be to try and give satisfaction! You do like me rather, don＇t you?"

I really believe I＇ve 昀lled all the other relations of life very creditably, and I don＇t see why I shouldn＇t fill this one—in which I offer myself to you—seeing that I care so much more about it. Ask the people who know me well; I＇ve friends who＇ll speak for me."
