Didn't I always say that I was proud to be able to give up so much for you, William?... (VICAR: Yes, and then what followed? Having given up so much for me, what followed?) My dear, circumstances were too strong for us! Can't you see? You were not made to live out your life in any little odd hole and corner of the world! There was your reputation, your fame: you began to be known as an author, a scholar, a wonderful preacher-- All this required position, influence, social prestige. You don't think I was ambitious for myself: it was for you.
