"Let me be clear, Miss Parr. I have never let society and its rules dictate my life. Your uncle could attempt to wage a social war against me in order to leg shackle me to you, but we shall never set foot inside a church together. Do you understand? Now don't look so put out, my dear. I am a generous lover. If I find that you and I suit, I shall take you as my mistress. I'm not inclined to permanent relationships, but I would keep you well cared for the rest of your life. It wouldn't be so horrible to be the lover of a duke."
