You saw my sketches of my dear Elizabeth, did you not?” If he recalls correctly, she had been looking at them when he caught her. “I’ve been hard at work since her passing. I believe that with your cooperation, we can create something entirely new. I wouldn’t want you to feel that your involvement is repetitive, after all.”
