Marianne reads Willoughby's letter :
Marianne: “My dear madam, I'm quite at a loss to discover in what point I could be so unfortunate as to offend you. My esteem for your family is very sincere, but if I have given rise to a belief of more than I felt or meant to express, I shall reproach myself for not having been more guarded.
What does "belief of more than I felt or meant to express" mean?
Does it mean Willoughby did not intend to offend her?
