Explanation:

- The passage is about an incident involving Felix Deacon and his feelings for a married woman, Sarah Ann Peacock.

- Option 1: "come" - This word does not fit contextually as it suggests arrival, not an emotional state.

- Option 2: "tripped" - This would imply a physical stumbling, which does not align with the intended sentiment.

- Option 3: "fallen" - This is the correct option. The phrase "fallen for" is commonly used to describe someone developing romantic feelings for another.

- Option 4: "cared" - While showing care is possible, it doesn't convey the intensity of emotion implied by "falling in love."
