Context
“It doesn’t matter whether you answer or not, because I know you are, and you know you are. Come, then, I’ll tell you how it is. I may be a bit of an oddity in point of temper, but this is my temper—I can’t let anybody have entirely their own way. You are a determined woman, and a clever woman; and when you see your purpose before you, nothing will turn you from it. Who knows that better than I do?’
‘Nothing will turn me from it, Flintwinch, when I have justified it to myself. Add that.’
‘Justified it to yourself? I said you were the most determined woman on the face of the earth”
