Rejection Of Marriage Suit By Victorian Lesbian

I do desire that we may be better strangers.

Your ill-bred humor disgusts me.

You take too many familiarities with my person.

No I am not your lady.

Nor am i, and never will be your 'darling.'

You are the wrong shape

The wrong size

The wrong class

The wrong gender.

I prefer the company of my own kind.

Leave me be.
