"But not here in Arcadia!" he thought. "I'll call formally at her lodgings and take Troup or Morris with me.
Had she made free with Madame Letitia's plate or wardrobe, there is no doubt but that she had been forgiven; but to presume to share with her those sacred supports on her way to Paradise was a more unpardonable act with a devotee than to steal from a lover the portrait of an adored mistress.
"And you are making the one tragic mistake no repentance can undo. You are choosing to commit the one unpardonable sin the sin against the Spirit." "And what, pray, is that?" "The deliberate choice of evil, knowing it to be evil. Your heart is mine mine, I tell you! Do you deny it?"

Young ladies are privileged to give hopes to one man their hands to another. 'Is the sin so unpardonable? you ask, with ingenuous simplicity. Lady Montfort, that depends! Reflect!
