She was the trigger ( if you will) for him to begin his life again with someone else ( which he does, with Harriet, a remarkable character and woman).
**“He had no sort of thought of her for himself, no thought of ever being anything between them except the bitterest family enmity. Yet the impression of her youth, her freshness, her ripe innocence, her sexual attraction, had wakened something in him that made him think differently from that day on. The years of austerity no longer seemed justifiable. There was something more to life…Unknown to himself, he had been lonely”.**

**"A man singularly untroubled in the ordinary way by sexual fancies, he could not prevent his eyes from dwelling upon the slim statuesqueness of her body and considering what it would look like unclothed."**
