The loved idea of Angelo still rose upon my fancy, and its powers of captivation, heightened by absence, and, perhaps even by despair, pursued me with incessant grief. I concealed in silence the anguish that preyed upon my heart, and resigned myself a willing victim to monastic austerity. But I was now threatened with a new evil, terrible and unexpected. I was so unfortunate as to attract the admiration of the Marquis Marinelli, and he applied to my father. He was illustrious at once in birth and fortune, and his visits could only be unwelcome to me. Dreadful was the moment in which my father disclosed to me the proposal. My distress, which I vainly endeavoured to command, discovered the exact situation of my heart, and my father was affected. “Mr. Whitney told me something about it and the reason I’m late to-day is that I got mixed up in the mess—” The man knew his was a losing fight yet he wanted to struggle on.

Then she said to herself, "The Beast wants to fatten me before he eats me, since he provides such good cheer." “It’s—it’s just that I haven’t ever had a family like other fellows.
