E.M. Forster - When we were only acquaintances, you let me be myself,...

When we were only acquaintances, you let me be myself, but now you're always protecting me.. I won't be protected. I will choose for myself what is ladylike and right. To shield me is an insult. Can't I be trusted to face the truth but I must get it second-hand through you? A woman's place!
