I have heard many women say the same.

But _you_! How can _you_ say such a thing! To have met one man who was ready to love and serve them is not the lot of many women.

Very few of us ever find anything more than a craving to be loved in the stubborn material of men's hearts.

And we are thankful enough when we find that.

But to have stood between two such men who must have crushed you between them if either of them had had one dishonouring thought of you.
