I find even your shamelessness attractive. (DAISY: I'm profoundly grateful for the compliment.) But do not fear. I shall do nothing. I bought this house because I like you to know that always, always you are in my hand. Where you go, I go. Where you are, I am. Sometimes you do not see me, but nevertheless I am close. I do nothing. I am content to wait. (DAISY: Your time is your own. I have no objection to your wasting it.) One day, and I think that day is not very far distant, you will come to me. I was the first and I shall be the last. If you like I will marry you.
