Since it did not seem to you indiscreet to communicate to a boy of his years letters written solely to yourself, you cannot blame me if I take your implied estimate of his capacity to judge for himself of the nature of a correspondence, and of the views and temper of, madam, your very obedient servant."

I send his letter to you,--seal unbroken.

I conclude he has done with you forever, and your CAREER is lost! But if it be so, oh, my poor, poor child I at that thought I have not the heart to scold you further.

If it be so, come home to me, and I 'll work and slave for you, and you shall keep up your head and be a gentleman still, as you are, every inch of you.

Don't mind what I've said at the beginning, dear: don't you know I'm hasty; and I was hurt.

But you could not mean to be sly and underhand: 'twas only your high spirit, and it was my fault; I should not have shown you the letters.
