From The Naturewoman by Upton Sinclair

They will, they will! I've been thinking about it all day! I didn't go to college... I spent the whole day pacing the streets. (OCEANA: Why, Freddy!) And I want you to come away! Come away with me! I want you... (Wildly.)... I want you to marry me! (OCEANA: Why, Freddy!) Oh, I know it's a fool way... to blurt it out at you like that. I thought up a hundred ways to say it to you. I had a fine speech all by heart, but I can't remember a word of it. When I see you I can't even think straight. I'm simply beside myself... I can't rest, I can't sleep, I can't do anything. I used to laugh at such ideas, but now I'm frightened at myself. Can't you understand me, Oceana? Oceana... I love you!
