The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Camille by Alexandre Dumas: sure that you could not live away from me for long, and when I
met you in the Champs-Elysees, I was a little upset, but by no
means surprised.
Then began that series of days; each of them brought me a fresh
insult from you. I received them all with a kind of joy, for,
besides proving to me that you still loved me, it seemed to me as
if the more you persecuted me the more I should be raised in your
eyes when you came to know the truth.
Do not wonder at my joy in martyrdom, Armand; your love for me
had opened my heart to noble enthusiasm.
Still, I was not so strong as that quite at once.
