Voltaire

“ I am the cause of Miss Primrose's death. Just now, when you talked of poison, I shuddered, for I thought I saw Clive-Hart presenting the horrible draught to Primrose. How could I have so far lost myself as to accompany so vile a creature? I was blind. I did not discover my error till she was taken by the savages. In a fit of rage she almost admitted her guilt. From that moment I have loathed her, and, for a punishment, the form of Primrose is ever before me, and seems to say, 'I died because I loved you.'" His father said a blameless life could alone repair his past errors. ”
