She may be won by a man
who only cares for her money, and will not even give her the husks of
love. But Peter loves her, and has outgrown his mistakes. And don't
forget that but for him we might now have nothing but some horribly
mangled remains to remember of our little darling. Dear, I love Dot
twenty times more than I love Peter. For her sake, and yours, I am
trying to do my best for her."
So presently Mrs. D'Alloi came into the library, where Peter sat. She
held out her hand to him, but Peter said:
"Let me say something first. Mrs. D'Alloi, I would not have had that
occurrence happen in your home or presence if I had been able to prevent
it. It grieves me more than I can tell you. I am not a roue. In spite of
appearances I have lived a clean life. I shall never live any other in
the future. I--I love Leonore. Love her very dearly. And if you will
give her to me, should I win her, I pledge you my word that I will give
her the love, and tenderness, and truth which she deserves.
