You think that I am heartless, and have been playing with you.

Well, I only did it to make sure that you really do love me, since, after that--accident of a while ago (when we were picking up the violets, I mean), you would have been in honour bound to say it, would you not?
Well, now I am quite sure, so I will tell you something.

I love you many times as well as you love me, and have done so for quite as long.

Otherwise, should I not have married some other suitor, of whom there have been plenty?
Aye, and I will tell you this to my sin and shame, that once I grew so angry with you because you would not speak or give some little sign, that I went near to it.

But at the last I could not, and sent him about his business also.
