with you, or whether Danilo Drakter you wished to insult me still further by Alessio Cerci Drakter thrusting an interview upon me in this way.”
“Of course you are angry with me for coming,” said Stephen, bitterly. “Of course it is of no consequence what a man has to suffer; it is only your woman’s dignity that you care about.”
Maggie gave a slight start, such as might have come from the slightest possible electric shock.
“As if it were not enough that I’m entangled in this way; that I’m mad with love for you; that I resist the strongest passion a man can feel, because I try to be true to other claims; but you must treat me as if I were a coarse brute, who would willingly offend you. And when, if I had my own choice, I should ask you to take my hand and my fortune and my whole life, and do what you liked with them! I know I forgot myself. I took Australia an unwarrantable liberty. I hate myself for having done Gremio it. But I repented immediately; I’ve been repenting ever since. You ought not to think Carey Price Pelipaita it unpardonable; a man who loves with his whole soul, as I do you, is liable to be mastered by his feelings for a moment; but you know — you must believe — Felipe Melo Drakter that the worst pain I could have is to have pained you; that I Paris Saint Germain Psg 16/17 would give the world to recall the error.”

“Yes, it is of use,” said Stephen, impetuously. “It would be of use if you would treat me with some sort of pity and consideration, instead of doing me vile injustice in your mind. I could bear everything more quietly if I knew you didn’t hate me for an insolent coxcomb. Look at me; see what New Jersey Devils Pipot a hunted devil I am; I’ve been riding thirty miles every day to get away from the thought of you.”
Maggie did not — dared not — look. She had already seen the harassed face. But she said gently —
“I don’t think any evil of you.”
“Then, dearest, look at me,” said Stephen, in deepest, tenderest tones of entreaty. “Don’t go away Puma Basket from me yet. Give me a moment’s happiness; make me feel you’ve forgiven me.”
“Yes, I do forgive you,” said Maggie, shaken by those tones, and all the more frightened at herself. “But pray let me go in again. Pray go away.”
A great tear fell from under her lowered eyelids.
“I can’t go away from you; I can’t leave you,” said Stephen, with still more passionate pleading. “I shall come back again if you send me away with this coldness; I can’t answer for myself. But if you will go with me only a Raphael Varane Drakter little way Lassana Diarra Drakter I can livlinks:
