I Love You More Than Words Can Say

The eldest daughter stood up, came over to her father and kissed him on the cheek. She said: I love you more than words can say. More than eyesight, movement or freedom. The old man blushed to hear such fine words. Well, Doon, can anyone put it better than that? Who's next? And then he looked at his youngest and favourite daughter, the joy of his life, whose name was Cordelia. But she thought the whole scene was rather silly and undignified. In fact, she suspected that her two elder sisters were much more moved by money than by love - but she had made ready with what she thought was a good line.
