But you came.

You, who are so good and generous! You who sought me with the enthusiastic simplicity of a growing boy, making me turn back a page in my life, as though I were still only in my teens and being courted for the first time!...

Besides, you are not a selfish person.

You gave with noble enthusiasm.

I believe that if we had known each other in our early youth you would never have deserted me in order to make yourself rich by marrying some one else.
