I never thought before, that there was a woman in the world who could affect me so much by saying so little. But don't be hard in your construction of me.

You don't know how the cursed carelessness that is over-officious in helping me at every other turning of my life WON'T help me here. You have struck it dead, I think, and I sometimes wish you had struck me dead along with it.
