Context
“«That you may, my good little girl: there is not another being in the world has the same pure love for me as yourself—for I lay that pleasant unction to my soul, Jane, a belief in your affection.»
I turned my lips to the hand that lay on my shoulder. I loved him very much—more than I could trust myself to say—more than words had power to express.
«Ask something more,» he said presently; «it is my delight to be entreated, and to yield.»
I was again ready with my request. «Communicate your intentions to Mrs. Fairfax, sir: she saw me with you last night in the hall, and she was shocked.” source
