Think of the way I've always wanted children but if they'd been my real own, they'd have been sickly, likely, or even lame like me, or just ordinary like the only kind of man who would have married me. As it is, I've had Clarice's and now " She broke off with a quick, old-maidish colour.
The compliments to be exchanged, the silly verses to be praised, the gewgaws from Paris to be admired, were all contrasted in his mind with the vision of that other life which had come to him on the hillside of the Superga. On this mood the Countess Clarice's sarcasms fell without effect.
I told him that I was very sorry, but I didn't care for him in that kind of way at all events yet. And then it was horrible! The voice began to break again. Mrs. Willoughby took hold of Clarice's hand, and the latter nestled towards her.
