"Yes, it is her very nature to love; but since she can make her heart turn whichever way her honor bids, she will love her husband; she does not now; but sooner or later she will.

Then she will have children--( he writhed with anguish and fury at this thought)--loving ties between him and her.

He has everything on his side.

I, nothing but memories she will efface from her heart.

Will efface?
She must have effaced them, or she could not have married him." I know no more pitiable state of mind than to love and hate the same creature.
