Since the week I have passed with you2, every moment offers me fresh proof of the power you have over me. I could not at one time have thought it possible that I, that any man, could have been under the dominion of feelings so undivided and so intense; now I think that no other man can have felt or feel as I do.
...
If your fears return, tell me, that I may search out antidotes, and doubt not that I shall find them. Read or alter my letters; do anything you please to drive them away. Fly to Mrs. Reid for help, and then thank her from me for it. I shall never indeed, as it is, be able to repay her kindness, but I will try to acknowledge it in attentions and affection to you her sister.
