Yet, perhaps I have a face. One you know. One you trust, and are inclined to kiss, on occasion. You cannot know unless I tell you, unless you wish to guess.
The very notion insults me! Oh! That I would be so fond of one so vile! But if what you suggest is indeed so, I confess I could not know who you are - as none who I would be inclined to kiss, on occasion, would I ever think to be so dreadfully ignoble - and I confess I could not guess who you are - as I would not wish to accuse any who I would be inclined to kiss, on occasion, of such intolerable qualities! But if you, Bold Villain, are indeed one that I know and trust - O! Dreadful Thought! - and should you ever kiss me, yes, I suppose Death would find me thereafter! And let it be so, I say! For I never specified how soon after your kiss that Death should seek out His due. Nor did I specify what incarnation Death might take! Indeed, if your poisoned lips do most unfortunately meet mine, I shall be cursed with a Death at some point in time and I decree that it shall be perfectly and delightfully Little - which shall be no great tragedy for me!
