Wed me? He’s never once said a word about making me his wife. He wants me to go back to him--that’s all. If he had wished to marry me, I might have agreed, to save myself from what may be coming.

Why didn’t you warn me there was danger in such men? I never had any chance of learning, and you did not help me.
