NAME:
But you must understand my insistence! It is not said like that, out of the blue, to a man who comes, legitimately and conscientiously, to ask for the hand of a lady, who has authorized him to do so. "I don't give it to you, because I don't want to!" Why do not you want? "Why not! I can't say why…” It's good! Such a refusal is a direct offense to the person making the request! It was an affront to my dignity. You will agree that you owe me an answer, whatever it may be! An excuse! A lie, even though! But, damn it all, some reason is needed!
