Passion and Purity
Elisabeth Elliot
What looked to Jim like “militant morality” was partly the knowledge that is deep in a woman that she holds the key to the situation where a man’s passions are involved. He will be as much of a gentleman as she requires and, when the chips are down, probably no more, even if he has strict standards of his own. This is not necessarily because he wants to go as far as possible. It is sometimes from a confused sense of obligation, or even chivalry, to meet her expectations.
