A Beautiful Dialogue from 'A Room with a View'...
Lucy: 'Mr Emerson, go out of this house and don't come back into it again as long as I live here.'
George: 'I can't.'
Lucy: 'No discussion. Go please. I don't want to call on Mr. Vyse.'
George: 'Don't tell me you're going to marry that man!'
Lucy: 'Don't be ridiculous.'
George: 'I would've held back if your Cecil had been a different sort of fellow, but he's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman! He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at like a painting or an ivory box, something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real and to think and to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you. I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings, even when I hold you in my arms.'
“You must forgive me if I say stupid things. My brain has gone to pieces.”
