Please don't think I mind your... speaking to me in this way.
-
I quite admire it but... consider this.
-
Lavinia came back against my orders,
-
determined to look after me for the rest of my life,
-
which meant that she would wash me and feed me and...
-
do things that only the most dedicated nurse would undertake.
-
And all with no hope of children or any improvement.
-
Yes, it's all very admirable...
-
and I give her full credit.
-
And giving her that credit, do you think it would be right for me
-
to throw her over because I can walk?
-
To dismiss her, because I no longer have need of her services?
