well, from what I read in
the Guardian (the link in the first message is to a newspaper that in turn reports the news from the Guardian) this looks like the original one - as a check I noted that the file I attach has the sentence

"It is quite true I have worshipped you with far more romance of feeling than a man should ever give to a friend. Somehow I have never loved a woman"

(see the last paragraph on page 56 in the attachment) which, according to the Guardian article is not in the censored version (as you can check by e.g. comparing the sentence above with the one toward the end of chapter 9 in the EPUB version
here on mobileread), which, as reported in the Guardian, instead reads the more tame
Quote:

"from the moment I met you, your personality had the most extraordinary influence over me."

And indeed, on the page I linked it does state that this is the first version.
