REFUSAL IMPOSSIBLE.
‘ Will you be mine ?’ * Can you afford to dress me well if I marry you ?’ * It depends upon what you consider being dressed well. If you mean Worth dresses from Paris, I can’t afford them ; nor do you need them.’ * I don’t!’
‘No. Your beauty needs no adornment, and it will always eclipse any dress you wear, no matter how expensive it may be. No one that looks at you sees your dress. The beauty of face and perfection of figure only are noted. All finery sinks into insignificance beside them. What satin is there like your skin? What silk like your hair! What colours to compare with your lips, cheeks, and eyes ?’ ‘John, I am yours.’
