From The New Woman: An Original Comedy, in Four Acts by Sydney Grundy

I love you, Margery. (MARGERY: I knew that was coming.) Honestly love you! I admired you always. It was an empty admiration, perhaps--the admiration a man feels for twenty women--but it grew solid; and the more you repulsed me, the more you attracted me. You mayn't believe me, but at first I wanted you to repulse me; then it got past that; and when I saw you sitting there alone--living over in your mind your wasted life--I loved you, and the words sprang to my lips. Nothing could keep them back! I love you, Margery--nobody but you! Why should your life be wasted? Why should mine?
