I sometimes worry my anxieties and insecurities overshadow the love you hold for me

[quotation--marks]

She was in love with her match just as farmers are in love with wheat at eighty shillings a quarter, or shareholders - innocent gudgeons - with seven and a half percent interest on their paid-up capital. Eighty shillings a quarter, and seven and a half per cent interest, such were the returns which she had been taught to look for in exchange for her young heart; and, having obtained them, or being thus about to obtain them, why should not her young heart be satisfied? Had she not sat herself down obediently at the feet of her lady Gamaliel, and should she not be rewarded? Yes, indeed, she shall be rewarded.

Anthony Trollope, Doctor Thorne
