Amelia B. Edwards Quotes

My Heart Beat Violently. My Forehead Was Bathed In A Cold Perspiration. I Asked Myself For The First Time What It Was That I Was About To See When This Door Was Opened? What Chamber, Long Closed - What Deed Of Mystery, Long Forgotten - What Family Secret, Long Buried, Would Be Revealed To My Eyes? Was It Right, After All, That I Should Pursue This Discovery? Ought I Not, Perhaps, To Go Back As I Had Come; Tell My Husband Of The Secret Upon Which I Had Stumbled; And Leave It To Him To Deal With According To His Pleasure? Hesitating Thus, I Had, Even Now, More Than Half A Mind To Go No Farther. It Was A Struggle Between Delicacy And Curiosity; And I Was A Mere Woman, After All, And Curiosity Prevailed.
"Come What May," Said I Aloud, "I Will See What Lies Beyond This Door!"
And With This I Opened It.
