“Daisy," he said, and voice and touch alike implored her, "give him
up, dear! Give him up! You can do it if you will, if your love is
great enough. I know how infernally hard it is to do. I've done it
myself. It means tearing your very heart out. But it will be worth
it—it must be worth it—afterwards. You are bound—some time—to reap
what you have sown.”
Why am I tearing up

“Meteor-like, he had flashed through her sky and
disappeared; leaving a burning, ineradicable trail behind him”
How does Ethel Dell keep on doing this?

“And she knew that with that one word he
resolutely turned his back upon the gulf that had opened between them
during those twenty months—that gulf that his love had been great
enough to bridge—and that he took her with him, bruised and broken
and storm-tossed as she was, into a very sheltered place.”
Truly I pray that marriages like this exist today.

"Tell me, if it helps you," he answered, and he spoke with the
splendid patience that twenty weary months had wrought in him. "Only
believe—before you begin—that I have forgiven you. For—before
God—it is the truth."
My goodness I’m tearing up again. We’ve barely even seen Will but Ethel Dell manages to write such a compelling character in a single chapter!!!

“And this was Love—this hunger that could never be satisfied, this
craving which would not be stifled or ignored—Love triumphant,
invincible, immortal—the thing she had striven to slay at its
birth, but which had lived on in spite of her, growing, spreading,
enveloping, till she was lost, till she was suffocated, in its
immensity. There could never be any escape for her again.”

"You won't need to seek any more protectors so far as I am
concerned. You will never see me again unless the gods ordain that
you should come and find me. It isn't the way of an eagle to swoop
twice—particularly an eagle with only one wing."
These lines man 😩😩
