Mr. Knightley,
I stopped you ungraciously just now and gave you pain.
If you have any wish to speak to me openly
about anything you might have in contemplation,
as your friend I cannot refuse you.
Indeed, as your old friend,
I will hear whatever it is you wish to tell me.
You want our friendship to remain the same as it has always been.
- But I cannot desire that. - But why?
I know I made mistakes, but had you been here the last few days...
you would have seen how I have tried to change.
Please, tell me I am your friend.
I do not wish to call you my friend because...
I hope to call you something infinitely more dear.
Have you not wondered why I never befriended Frank Churchill?
It was because I knew he was intended for you.
Indeed, when you insulted Miss Bates at the picnic,
I thought that evidence of his influence over you.
And I could not bear to see it.
So I... I went away.
But I went to the wrong place.
My brother's house is usually a place of comfort to me,
but seeing your sister there kept you fresh in my mind.
And the torture, I assure you, was acute.
I only felt hope again... when I heard of Mr. Churchill's engagement.
And I rushed back, anxious for your feelings.
Came to be near you.
