'No!' she answered, with a look of astonishment. ¡¡¡¡'Do you doubt my being what I always have been to you?' ¡¡¡¡'No!' she answered, as before. ¡¡¡¡'Do you remember that I tried to tell you, when I came home, what a debt of gratitude I owed you, dearest Agnes, and how fervently I felt towards you?' ¡¡¡¡'I remember it,' she said, gently, 'very well.' ¡¡¡¡'You have a secret,' said I. 'Let me share it, Agnes.' ¡¡¡¡She cast down her eyes, and trembled. ¡¡
¡¡'I could hardly fail to know, even if I had not heard - but from other lips than yours, Agnes, which seems strange - that there is someone upon whom you have bestowed the treasure of your love. Do not shut me out of what concerns your happiness so nearly! If you can trust me, as you say you can, and as I know you may, let me be your friend, your brother, in this matter, of all others!'
