I am not ashamed of taking a thing that is given by love and affection.

I am proud of it.

But do you ever think of what friends such as More Adey, Robbie, Robert Sherard, Frank Harris, and Arthur Clifton have been to me in giving me comfort, help, affection, sympathy and the like ?...
I know that your mother, Lady Queensberry, puts the blame on me.

I hear of it, not from people who know you, but from people who do not know you, and do not desire to know you.

I hear of it often.
