It wasn't because she fancied any one else. She hadn't begun to think of you in those days. I let her go, never mind why. I let her go, but she is still in my keeping, and will be till she is the actual property of another man yes, and after that too. I saved her, remember. I won the right of guardianship over her. So be careful what you do. Marry her if you love her.
