“I-- I--” she’s blushing brighter than a nun in a whorehouse, completely aghast at the question. “I’ll spare you my ob--jections to the language, numerous though they may be.
“... As it happens there’s a certain Englishman named Vernon who’s made it abundantly clear that he one day in--tends to take me to bed, and he seems so absolutely se--cure in the notion that... well. I fear it’s planted the seeds of more than a few impure thoughts in my head as well. Letting him believe I went to Catholic school was perhaps the greatest mistake I’ve ever made. I swear he’s made it his personal mission to corrupt me in every way that he can.”

“I admit I try very hard not to harbor thoughts of marriage about those who I actually care about, especially when it’s so often such an unrealistic dream. But I must say... Prince Albert has made a very fine impression on me. Make no mistake, I'm not in love with him-- strange though it may sound. In truth, I barely know the man. But he and I have a great deal in common. We’re two mild souls caught up in the tumult of a machine much larger than ourselves, and Albert-- bless his heart-- is so passionate about using his position to help the common class. A long time ago I gave up hope that any good could ever come of my ascension to the throne; I truly convinced myself that I could never be happy, and I could never possibly bring happiness to others.
“Albert has such a fire inside of him that I think he could do great good given the opportunity. I’m not in love with him but-- I think I could be in terrible danger of falling.”

“Keep in mind, he must not ever, ever know that I would consider such a thing. I would never act on it and he-- well, I can’t imagine that the thought has ever crossed his mind. And perhaps that’s for the best. He’s such a sensitive soul, I suspect he would be mortified.
“It’s just that... he’s a very romantic man. He’s both a philo--sopher and a poet-- perhaps the most cultured person I’ve ever met. He comes from the old world, just as I do, and that’s why I feel so drawn to him. In Henry I see a kin--dred spirit-- and I imagine that’s how it ought to be when you make love, you know. It’s about so much more than just physicality. It’s about poetry. It’s about... patience, and understanding, and a mutual sanctuary from the rest of the world that’s found only in each other.
“I don’t imagine it will ever happen, of course. He seems terrified of letting people close to him, for some reason-- as if he’s somehow afraid of hurting them, or perhaps of being hurt. But if I were to make love with someone, that’s the sort of person I would want to do it with.”
