See him again. He must still not forgive me.

See him again. He must still not forgive me.
The worst is over. I have seen him. We have been once more in the same room. A bow, a curtsy. I have heard his voice. And then, he's gone. He's not forgiven me. I've used him ill, deserted him, and disappointed. And worst is showing a feebleness of character in doing so, which his own decided, confident temper could not endure. Once there were no two hearts so open, no feelings so in harmony, but now we are strangers. Worse than strangers, for we never become aquainted. It is perpetual estrangement.

Persuasion quotes

  • Captain Wentworth: Miss Elliot, I can bear this no longer. You pierce my soul. I'm half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been. Weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago.

  • Captain Wentworth: I have loved none but you. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone I think and plan. Have you not seen this?
