Summary
Mr. Edgeworth drew back, narrowing his eyes. “So this is your opinion of me,” he said in a low voice. “I thank you for explaining so fully. Perhaps these offences might have been over looked had not your pride been hurt -“
“My pride?”
“- by my honesty in admitted scruples about our relationship,” Mr. Edgeworth concluded with an icy stare. “Could you expect me to rejoice in the inferiority of your circumstances? To congratulate myself on the hope of forming a union with a man whose situation in life is so decidedly beneath my own?”
Phoenix felt himself growing angrier every moment, and he struggled to keep his composure as he angrily exclaimed, “Those are not the words of a gentleman, Mr. Edgeworth. When I saw you again after all these years, I knew you’d changed. But your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others, and your self-centred motivations for prosecuting - all these things made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”
