Quote context

[...]

- Your brother didn't send you with this apology, did he?

- Oh, no.

- No, in fact he's forbidden me to...

- To speak to me, hm?

- Well, yes.

- And Cathy also forbade you?

- Yes.

- Hmm. Then in all the moorland, you are my only friend, hm?

- Well, I would like to be.

- Hmm, thank you.

- I enjoy frankness. You didn't come here to apologise and your horse didn't go lame. You came because you're lonely.

- And because the house you live in is too happily-wedded for an outsider.

- And because it's no joy to ride the moors alone. Is that right?

- Yes.

- Then you needn't be lonely anymore, my dear.

- What? Do you think it strange that I should kiss you?

- Well, I don't know.

- You hated it?

- No.

- Well. I see you like frankness, too.

- Oh, come in, Cathy. Wasn't it a lovely dance tonight? Though I think you could have been more gracious to my guest.
