He Had Finished With Her Written by maud l (10/12/2009 1:58 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Marrying Eliza, penned by Bridget D

He never intended to marry her; when he left; he was gone from her forever. He didn't initially intend to marry her but changed his mind because she turned to out be too "easy!" His game was always to seduce and abandon her.
