What quality in Helen does Arthur deprecate, and what is her response
What quality in Helen does Arthur deprecate, and what is her response
Arthur disapproved of Helen's curiosity..... he interest in anything but him.
I came back nearly as ignorant as I went, having made no acquaintance with persons and manners, and very little with things, my head swarming with a motley confusion of objects and scenes; some, it is true, leaving a deeper and more pleasing impression than others, but these embittered by the recollection that my emotions had not been shared by my companion, but that, on the contrary, when I had expressed a particular interest in anything that I saw or desired to see, it had been displeasing to him, inasmuch as it proved that I could take delight in anything disconnected with himself.
