“Do you know, Antonia, since I've been away, I think of you more often than of any one else in this part of the world. I'd have liked to have you for a sweetheart , or a wife, or my mother or my sister — anything that a woman can be to a man. The idea of you is a part of my mind; you influence my likes and dislikes, all my tates, hundreds of times when I don't realize it. You really are a part of me."
