Son Christopher. Harriet Martineau

last words that Henrietta said were:

      “You have pledged your faith to me. Let your mood as well as your word hold in the morning.”

      “My love! who ever heard of such a scheme being engaged in so suddenly!”

      “I mean about going to Amsterdam. The rest will follow: but you must go to Amsterdam.”

      “Is it possible that you can seriously desire it?”

      “Seriously! I so desire it that if you could refuse, I could never forgive you. How could it be possible to forgive it?”

      “Very well, then; I will go to Amsterdam.”
