Never from me--never from me. For what am I? Untrue to myself, as you are untrue to yourself; false to others, as you are false to others; passionate, unstable, like yourself; like yourself, a coward. I --I was to lead women! I was to show them, in your company, how laws-- laws made and laws that are natural--may be set aside or slighted; how men and woman may live independent and noble lives without rule, guidance or sacrament. I was to be the example--the figure set up for others to observe and imitate. But the figure was made of wax--it fell awry at the first hot breath that touched it! You and I! What a partnership it has been! How base, and gross, and wicked, almost from the very beginning! We know each other now thoroughly--how base and wicked it would remain! No, go your way, Lucas, and let me go mine.
