Child, you do not know me. You have created a mythical being in my likeness whom you have set up as a god. It is not I. Many times, infant, I have told you that I am no hero, but I think you have not believed me. I tell you now that I am no fit mate for you…My reputation is damaged beyond repair, child. I come from vicious stock, and I have brought no honor to the name I bear. To no women have I been faithful; behind me lies scandal upon sordid scandal…You have seen perhaps the best of me; you have not seen the worst”Ah, Monseigneur, you need not have told me this! I know–I have always known, and still I love you. I do not want a boy. I only want Monseigneur. ― Georgette Heyer, These Old Shades
