Capitolo 53
do you accelerate the completion of Your wishes? I hope that you will forgive me if
the suggestion is sick-calculated or out of taste; you/he/she is done in agreement with
a declaration to that effect you will remember to have done to me a short
preceding time to the illness of Your daughter."
"I have not forgotten the declaration to which it alludes you; you/he/she was done in
the heat of a moment of excitement; but I am frank to possess that it was then
my determination to use parental authority toward Eveline, in case it
become necessary to do so to bend his/her wish to my purposes. This
intention that I have abandoned completely. I have reflected more dispassionately
on the subject; and now I clearly see that my daughter has as good rights
as me, and how first in the importance among these, it is the right to give
her in marriage to whom she chooses. I will keep on giving her/it my
you influence, but I have already hocked her my word to that she will be free
makes his/her his/her own selection of a husband."
"You are right, gentleman, right. I see where us both you/they have erred in our first
sights; but then we had blinded, at least me I was; for You knows love it has
is always blind. I have to persistently ask Your forgiveness, how I am able the pardon of
Eveline, was her present, to have entertained so unfair a thought
toward her for an only moment. Is insured, if she cannot be defeated from
gentleness and it loves, I will never consent to manufacture her my wife, although her
it is dearer to me that the same life."
"Very well; Me he/she anchors I feel that all will come out right, and that a peaceful
calm of light of the sun will succeed the season of storm and clouds; but we owe
not the matters of hurry; time will do more for us that we am able for us,
while it is being probable that alacrity defeats all of our hopes. Currently, I don't think him/it
it would be advisable for you to exhort Your suit to her; his/her mind it is not yet
him prepared to receive her/it with that degree of desirable favor."
