Was It Necessary


“Was it necessary to tell me that you wanted nothing in the world but me?'
The corners of his mouth drooped peevishly.
Oh, my dear, it's rather hard to take quite literally the things a man says 
when he's in love with you.'
Didn't you mean them?'
At the moment.”

~ W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil
