"
If
it
’
s
the
truth
that
you
want
—
not
in
the
least
.
"
She
laughed
.
"
And
if
it
’
s
not
the
truth
that
I
want
?
"
"
Then
I
wouldn
’
t
know
what
to
say
,
"
he
answered
—
and
felt
a
rush
of
blood
to
his
brain
,
tight
as
a
slap
,
realizing
suddenly
the
double
infamy
of
a
lie
uttered
in
protestation
of
honesty
;
he
had
said
it
sincerely
,
but
it
implied
a
boast
to
which
he
had
no
right
any
longer
.
"
Why
would
you
want
it
,
if
it
’
s
not
the
truth
?
"
he
asked
.
"
What
for
?
"
"
Now
you
see
,
that
’
s
the
cruelty
of
conscientious
people
.
You
wouldn
’
t
understand
it
—
would
you
?
—
if
I
answered
that
real
devotion
consists
of
being
willing
to
lie
,
cheat
and
fake
in
order
to
make
another
person
happy
—
to
create
for
him
the
reality
he
wants
,
if
he
doesn
’
t
like
the
one
that
exists
.
"
"
No
,
"
he
said
slowly
,
"
I
wouldn
’
t
understand
it
.
"
"
It
’
s
really
very
simple
.
If
you
tell
a
beautiful
woman
that
she
is
beautiful
,
what
have
you
given
her
?
It
’
s
no
more
than
a
fact
and
it
has
cost
you
nothing
.
But
if
you
tell
an
ugly
woman
that
she
is
beautiful
,
you
offer
her
the
great
homage
of
corrupting
the
concept
of
beauty
.
To
love
a
woman
for
her
virtues
is
meaningless
.
She
’
s
earned
it
,
it
’
s
a
payment
,
not
a
gift
.
But
to
love
her
for
her
vices
is
a
real
gift
,
unearned
and
undeserved
.
To
love
her
for
her
vices
is
to
defile
all
virtue
for
her
sake
—
and
that
is
a
real
tribute
of
love
,
because
you
sacrifice
your
conscience
,
your
reason
,
your
integrity
and
your
invaluable
self
-
esteem
.
"
He
looked
at
her
blankly
.
It
sounded
like
some
sort
of
monstrous
corruption
that
precluded
the
possibility
of
wondering
whether
anyone
could
mean
it
;
he
wondered
only
what
was
the
point
of
uttering
it
.
"
What
’
s
love
,
darling
,
if
it
’
s
not
self
-
sacrifice
?
"
she
went
on
lightly
,
in
the
tone
of
a
drawing
-
room
discussion
.
"
What
’
s
self
-
sacrifice
,
unless
one
sacrifices
that
which
is
one
’
s
most
precious
and
most
important
?
But
I
don
’
t
expect
you
to
understand
it
.
Not
a
stainless
-
steel
Puritan
like
you
.
That
’
s
the
immense
selfishness
of
the
Puritan
.
You
’
d
let
the
whole
world
perish
rather
than
soil
that
immaculate
self
of
yours
with
a
single
spot
of
which
you
’
d
have
to
be
ashamed
.
