Quotation

“Your husband --" He had to start again, because something had caught in his throat. "Your husband thinks you were brave beyond telling to suffer this assault without doing violence to those who deserved your wrath. He thinks you might have lost your reason, were you a weaker person, and gone into a protracted decline. He holds your resilience, your wits, and your fortitude in highest esteem, Araminthea, and he vows to never allow another to harm you thus. Never.” (p. 374)
