"Every other person who knows me thinks that strength is my great characteristic," he maintained, rather querulously. "But when you know it is not," said Grizel. "You do know, don't you?" she asked anxiously. "To know the truth about one's self, that is the beginning of being strong." "You seem determined," he retorted, "to prevent my loving you." "Why?" she asked.
And such is your love; but you give the proof of it with shame, because your ideal of love is a humdrum sort of affection. That is all you would like to feel, Grizel, and because you feel something deeper and nobler you say you have lost your self-respect. I am the man who has taken it from you. Can I ever be proud of your love again?" He paused, overcome with emotion.

'He takes things too easily, and I confess that it does rather please me to see him, for once in his life, "get left." He needed to "get left."
