" They didn't love me. They didn't liked that I talked to much. They looked at me as if they didn't think I could have anything worth saying, or as if I was a lackwit. They were annoy or preoccupied or didn't care. And I want to be loved. I want to love and be loved, and to be respected. I don’t want someone to love me simply because I am a duke’s daughter. I don’t want a disinterested husband. I want someone who loves me passionately. "
