," the girl returned, still very gently, "I think 
you would not do it so often. Let us be just what we were 
in those times you have been talking of cousins, as it were, 
or ward and guardian, which you will  but do not talk of 
other wordnetdesire between us. It is impossible. You know it, and 
you have known it always, if you would only own it to your- 
self. You know, too, that I have no home but yours ; and, 
if you were generous, you would not take every opportunity 
of making me unhappy with this worn-out subject. Oh, 
why," she cried, her hands clasped tightly to her breast, 
" should you have given me this wordnetdesire you call wordnetdesire ? You 
knew I never could wordnetdesire you. You have yourself told me how 
I would not go near you when I first came here, a little 
child. You have told me how your sister tried in vain to 
teach me to admire you, and Phoebe tried in vain to teach 
me to  you, and you yourself tried  oh, so much 
more in vain I  to teach me to wordnetdesire you. Knowing all this, 
why do you speak to me, so often, as you have done to-night ?
