I'm no in the habit of speaking without deliberation, for it saves a man a great deal of trouble in changing his mind. If ye canna traduce to me a page o' Virgil by this day three months, ye read no more o' my books. Desultory reading is the bane o' lads.
Proposing then, this flight not this flight, but the flight you thought it you told me that in the having given you that meeting, and leaving you to be discovered there, if you so thought fit; and in the having suffered you to be alone with me many times before, and having made the opportunities, you said, and in the having openly avowed to you that I had no feeling for my husband but aversion, and no care for myself I was lost; I had given you the power to traduce my name; and I lived, in virtuous reputation, at the pleasure of your breath.
It is for this that he sacrificed many persons whose lives he exposed, to prevent them from making known what they had seen, and thereby crossing his secret plans....
