From Project Gutenberg

She puts mispleading in her cold answer; there is a drop of poison in every quiet word:— '"O man, wanting sense, put from you your share of love; it is bold you are entirely to say such a thing as that; you will not get hate from me; you will not get love from me; you will not get anything at all, good or bad, for ever."
