She replied with ?You have done nobly, and you should not repent what you have rejected the best the earth could offer. Aylmer, dearest Aylmer, I am dying!? Then you hear Aylmer laugh. In the

end I feel that Aylmer loved his wife? He loved to work on her. To him she was his little science project, and nothing more.
