Hi there, please, from Frankenstein:
She was the living spirit of love to soften and attract: I might have become sullen in my study, rough through the ardour of my nature, but that she was there to subdue me to a semblance of her own gentleness.
I don't quite get the but that and the idea of subdue to a semblance, could you please help me?
Thanks!
