Quote by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Adve
It was all love on my side, and all good comradeship and friendship on hers. When we parted she was a free woman, but I could never again be a free man.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the unrequited love and unequal emotional connection between the speaker and the person they are addressing. While the speaker holds deep affection and a sense of camaraderie, the other person only reciprocates friendship and companionship. Despite their separation, the speaker suggests that they will forever be bound by their unreturned love, feeling trapped and unable to move on from the relationship.
