Ford, Paul Leicester, 1865-1902

"The Honorable Peter Stirling and What People Thought of Him"

Surely there must be others like you?"
"Yes. I think there are a great many men as good as I, Rosebud! But I'm
no better than I should be, and it's nothing but your love that makes
you think I am."
"I won't hear you say such things of yourself. You know you are the best
and purest man that ever lived. You know you are."
"If there's any good in me, it's because I married you."
"Watts, you couldn't be bad if you tried." And Mrs. D'Alloi put her arms
round Watts's neck and kissed him.
Watts fondled her for a moment in true lover's fashion. Then he said,
"Dear little wife, a pure woman can never quite know what this world is.
I love Dot next to you, and would not give her to a man whom I believe
would not be true to her, or make her happy. I know every circumstance
of Peter's connection with that woman, and he is as blameless as man
ever was. Such as it was, it was ended years ago, and can never give him
more trouble. He is a strong man, and will be true to Dot. She might get
a man who would make her life one long torture.
