Context

““Tell us something credible and we will believe you.” “Yet, if you were to suppose one thing.” “What is that?” “Suppose that I thought I was in love, and that I am not.” “What! not in love!” “Well, then! if I have acted in a different manner to what others do when they are in love, it is because I do not love; and because my hour has not yet come.” “Louise, Louise,” said Montalais, “take care or I will remind you of the remark you made just now. Raoul is not here; do not overwhelm him while he is absent;” source
