t your sister speak. If she says she is bound to give me up, I shall abide by her wishes to the slightest word.”
“It was for my father’s sake, Philip,” said Maggie, imploringly. “Tom threatens to tell my father, and he couldn’t bear it; I have promised, I have vowed solemnly, that we will not have any intercourse without my brother’s knowledge.”
“It is enough, Maggie. I shall not change; but I wish you to hold yourself entirely free. But trust me; remember that I can never seek for anything but good to what belongs to you.”
“Yes,Moncler Mabel,” said Tom, exasperated by this attitude of Philip’s, “you can talk of seeking good for her and what belongs to her now; did you seek her good before?”
“I did — at some risk, perhaps. But I wished her to have a friend for life — who would cherish her, who would do her more justice than a coarse and narrow-minded brother, that she has always lavished her affections on.”
“Yes, my way of befriending her is different from yours; and I’ll tell you what is my way. I’ll save her from disobeying and disgracing her father; I’ll save her from throwing herself away on you — from making herself a laughing-stock — from being flouted by a man like your father, because she’s not good enough for his son.

You have been reproaching other people all your life; you have been always sure you yourself are right. It is because you have not a mind large enough to see that there is anything better than your own conduct and your own petty aims.”
“Certainly,Kawasaki Frontale Drakt,” said Tom, coolly. “I don’t see that your conduct is better, or your aims either. If your conduct, and Philip Wakem’s conduct,CG Dame Trillium Parka, has been right, why are you ashamed of its being known? Answer me that. I know what I have aimed at in my conduct, and I’ve succeeded; pray, what good has your conduct brought to you or any one else?”
“I don’t want to defend myself,Classic Mini Czyścibut 5854,” said Maggie, still with vehemence: “I know I’ve been wrong — often,Westham Drakt, continually. But yet, sometimes when I have done wrong,CG Menn Woolford Strøk, it has been because I have feelings that you would be the better for, if you had them.
