Summary
To him she is the woman. He rarely mentions her under any other name.
In his eyes, women are another race, strange and unfathomable, and whose true motives and thoughts are impenetrable. And she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. I don’t know if it could be said that he has felt any emotion akin to love for her. For most of my life with him I would have stated that he is as inhuman as a calculating machine and is just about as likely to fall in love. All emotions, and that one in particular, are contradictory to his cold, precise but admirably balanced mind. He is the most perfect reasoning and observing machine that the world has seen, but as a lover he would place himself in a false position. He only spoke of the softer passions, as to draw the motives and actions of a guilty party.
And yet there is but one woman to him, and that woman is her.
