«Lizzie! I never thought before, that there was a woman in the world who could affect me so much by saying so little. But don't be hard in your construction of me. You don't know what my state of mind towards you is. You don't know how you haunt me and bewilder me.

You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes almost wish you had struck me dead along with it.»
