Tell her, "I love him, and be he rich or poor, I will share his fate;" tell her boldly, bravely, nobly, as a true woman should; and if she be adamant still, proclaim your right to disobey her worldly wisdom rather than the voice of your own heart.

And then come to me, darling, and be my own, and the world which you and I will face together shall not be a bad world.

I will answer for that.

No trouble shall come near you.

No humiliation shall ever touch you.
