And

you

,

"

I

interrupted

,

"

can

not

at

all

imagine

the

craving

I

have

for

fraternal

and

sisterly

love

.

I

never

had

a

home

,

I

never

had

brothers

or

sisters

;

I

must

and

will

have

them

now

:

you

are

not

reluctant

to

admit

me

and

own

me

,

are

you

?

"

"

Jane

,

I

will

be

your

brother

--

my

sisters

will

be

your

sisters

--

without

stipulating

for

this

sacrifice

of

your

just

rights

.

Brother

?

Yes

;

at

the

distance

of

a

thousand

leagues

!

Sisters

?

Yes

;

slaving

amongst

strangers

!

I

,

wealthy

--

gorged

with

gold

I

never

earned

and

do

not

merit

!

You

,

penniless

!

Famous

equality

and

fraternisation

!

Close

union

!

Intimate

attachment

!

"

"

But

,

Jane

,

your

aspirations

after

family

ties

and

domestic

happiness

may

be

realised

otherwise

than

by

the

means

you

contemplate

:

you

may

marry

.

"

"

Nonsense

,

again

!

Marry

!

I

do

n't

want

to

marry

,

and

never

shall

marry

.

"

"

That

is

saying

too

much

:

such

hazardous

affirmations

are

a

proof

of

the

excitement

under

which

you

labour

.

It

is

not

saying

too

much

:

I

know

what

I

feel

,

and

how

averse

are

my

inclinations

to

the

bare

thought

of

marriage

.

No

one

would

take

me

for

love

;

and

I

will

not

be

regarded

in

the

light

of

a

mere

money

speculation

.

And

I

do

not

want

a

stranger

--

unsympathising

,

alien

,

different

from

me

;

I

want

my

kindred

:

those

with

whom

I

have

full

fellow-feeling

.

Say

again

you

will

be

my

brother

:

when

you

uttered

the

words

I

was

satisfied

,

happy

;

repeat

them

,

if

you

can

,

repeat

them

sincerely

.

"

"

I

think

I

can

.

I

know

I

have

always

loved

my

own

sisters

;

and

I

know

on

what

my

affection

for

them

is

grounded

,

--

respect

for

their

worth

and

admiration

of

their

talents

You

too

have

principle

and

mind

:

your

tastes

and

habits

resemble

Diana

's

and

Mary

'

s

;

your

presence

is

always

agreeable

to

me

;

in

your

conversation

I

have

already

for

some

time

found

a

salutary

solace

.

I

feel

I

can

easily

and

naturally

make

room

in

my

heart

for

you

,

as

my

third

and

youngest

sister

.
