cared no more for the realities of her being, for the things she felt and desired,
for the passions and dreams that might move her, than a child cares for the
sawdust in its doll. “You didn’t expect that I should kiss you?”
“How was I to know that a man would—would think it was possible—when
there was nothing—no love?”
“How did I know there wasn’t love?”

library.
