I must apologise for intruding on you, Mr Flosky; but the interest which I you take in my cousin Scythrop Pardon me, Miss O'Carroll; I do not take any interest in any person or thing on the face of the earth; which sentiment, if you analyse it, you will find to be the quintessence of the most refined philanthropy.
Glowry was involved in a lawsuit, which compelled his attendance in London, and Scythrop was left alone, to wander about, with the "Sorrows of Werter" in his hand. He now became troubled with the passion for reforming the world, and meditated on the practicability of reviving a confederacy of regenerators.
Still kneeling, he kissed her hand with rueful timidity, and said, in most pathetic accents, 'Do you not love me, Marionetta? 'No, said Marionetta, with a look of cold composure: 'No. Scythrop still looked up incredulously. 'No, I tell you. 'Oh! very well, madam, said Scythrop, rising, 'if that is the case, there are those in the world
'You are a philosopher, said the lady, 'and a lover of liberty. You are the author of a treatise, called "Philosophical Gas; or, a Project for a General Illumination of the Human Mind." 'I am, said Scythrop, delighted at this first blossom of his renown.

Scythrop grew every day more reserved, mysterious, and distrait; and gradually lengthened the duration of his diurnal seclusions in his tower. Marionetta thought she perceived in all this very manifest symptoms of a warm love cooling.
Disappointed both in love and friendship, he had come to the conclusion that there was but one good thing in the world, videlicet, a good dinner; and remained a widower, with one only son and heir, Scythrop.
Scythrop was confounded, but, instead of falling at her feet begging explanation, he retreated to his tower, seated himself in the president's chair of his imaginary tribunal, summoned Marionetta with terrible formalities, frightened her out of her wits, disclosed himself, and clasped the beautiful penitent to his bosom.
You, for the companion of my studies, the partner of my thoughts, the auxiliary of my great designs for the emancipation of mankind. 'I am afraid I should be but a poor auxiliary, Scythrop. What would you have me do? 'Do as Rosalia does with Carlos, divine Marionetta. Let us each open a vein in the other's arm, mix our blood in a bowl, and drink it as a sacrament of love.
His only resource, therefore, was to try to drown Mr Glowry's voice; and, having no other subject, he continued his description of the ear, raising his voice continually as Mr Glowry raised his. 'When your cousin Marionetta, said Mr Glowry, 'whom you profess to love whom you profess to love, sir 'The internal canal of the ear, said Scythrop, 'is partly bony and partly cartilaginous.
