When I was sad about this intended marriage , dear , it was because I remembered May and Edward such young lovers ; and knew that her heart was far away from Tackleton . You believe that , now , do n't you , John ? '' John was going to make another rush at this appeal ; but she stopped him again . `` No ; keep there , please , John ! When I laugh at you , as I sometimes do , John , and call you clumsy and a dear old goose , and names of that sort , it 's because I love you , John , so well , and take such pleasure in your ways , and would n't see you altered in the least respect to have you made a king to-morrow . '' `` Hooroar ! '' said Caleb with unusual vigour . `` My opinion ! '' `` And when I speak of people being middle-aged and steady , John , and pretend that we are a humdrum couple , going on in a jog-trot sort of way , it 's only because I 'm such a silly little thing , John , that I like , sometimes , to act as a kind of Play with Baby , and all that : and make believe . '' She saw that he was coming ; and stopped him again . But she was very nearly too late . `` No , do n't love me for another minute or two , if you please , John ! What I want most to tell you , I have kept to the last . My dear , good , generous John , when we were talking the other night about the Cricket , I had it on my lips to say , that at first I did not love you quite so dearly as I do now ; when I first came home here , I was half afraid that I might n't learn to love you every bit as well as I hoped and prayed I might -- being so very young , John ! But , dear John , every day and hour I loved you more and more . And if I could have loved you better than I do , the noble words I heard you say this morning would have made me . But I ca n't . All the affection that I had -LRB- it was a great deal , John -RRB- I gave you , as you well deserve , long , long ago , and I have no more left to give . Now , my dear husband , take me to your heart again ! That 's my home , John ; and never , never think of sending me to any other ! ''
