I continued to berate him. As I had lost my Quaker patience, I left off my Quaker speech.
“What could a dandy like you know of the love that lives beyond the grave? You have your drunken revels, your gambling, your harlots…yes, I am from Charleston, Mr. Poe. I know of you as you know of me. Your debts and your quarrels and your dissipation are legend in the city, even now, even to one like me who cares nothing for idle gossip.”

“And you knew love, did you, Miss Grimke? Your angelic betrothed showed you its pleasure in full?”
