This sweet prattle of hers, however, only charms him all the more. He says he will win her yet. THIS SWEET PRATTLE OF HERS HOWEVER CAN ONLY CHARM HIM ALL THE MORE HE SAYS HE WILL WIN HER YET
ll events, he is not well up in any others--and she still does not care for him, and what is he to do? It is very unfortunate for both of them. It is evident to the merest spectator that the lady's life would be much happier if the villain did not love her quite so much; and as for him, his career might be calmer and less criminal but for his deep devotion to her. You see, it is having met her in early life that is the cause of all the trouble. He first saw her when she was a child, and he loved her, "ay, even then." Ah, and he would have worked--slaved for her, and have made her rich and happy. He might perhaps even have been a good man. She tries to soothe him. She says she loathed him with an unspeakable horror from the first moment that her eyes met his revolting form. She says she saw a hideous toad once in a nasty pond, and she says that rather would she take that noisome reptile and clasp its slimy bosom to her own than tolerate one instant's touch from his (the villain's) arms. Y BUT HE DOESN'T KNOW ANY OTHERS AT ALL EVENTS HE IS NOT WELL UP IN ANY OTHERS AS SHE STILL DOES NOT CARE FOR HIM AND WHAT IS HE TO DO IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR BOTH OF THEM IT IS EVIDENT TO THE MERE SPECTATOR THAT THE LADY'S LIFE WOULD BE MUCH HAPPIER IF THE VILLAIN DID NOT LOVE HER QUITE SO MUCH AND AS FOR HIM HIS CAREER MIGHT BE CALMER AND LESS CRIMINAL BUT FOR HIS DEEP DEVOTION TO HER YOU SEE IT IS HAVING MET HER IN EARLY LIFE THAT IS THE CAUSE OF ALL THE TROUBLE HE FIRST SAW HER WHEN SHE WAS A CHILD AND LOVED HER AY EVEN THEN AH AND HE WOULD HAVE WORKED SLAVE FOR HER AND MADE HER RICH AND HAPPY HE MIGHT PERHAPS EVEN HAVE BEEN A GOOD MAN SHE TRIES TO SOOTHE HIM SHE SAYS SHE'S LOATHED HIM WITH AN UNSPEAKABLE HORROR FROM THE FIRST MOMENT THAT HER EYES MET HIS REVOLTING FORM SHE SAYS SHE SAW A HIDEOUS TOAD ONCE IN A NASTY POND AND SHE SAYS THAT SHE WOULD RATHER TAKE THAT NOISOME REPTILE AND CLASP ITS SLIMY BOSOM TO HER OWN THAN TOLERATE ONE INSTANT'S TOUCH FROM HIM THE VILLAIN'S ARMS
