You. Do you fully understand the word?
There are millions of people in the world but it is you she wants to see. There are other nobler, handsome, younger, wiser, more virtuous, more chivalrous than you, oh indeed there are, and without wishing to offend you, I do think it is incumbent on you to consider, however unplesant it may be, however it may hurt your self-esteem, that there may exist people more villainous, more artful, more deceitful, more heartless and more desperate than you are; and yet it is you she desires to see. The word elevates you above your fellow mortals, distinguishes you from those whom in part you resemble,; it hoists you up and slaps you on the back, it crowns you a king and dubs you a knight.
