No, my dear love, it will be well for you to be presented, as Lady Kirkbank proposes, at the first drawing-room after Easter; and Lady Kirkbank will have to present you.

She will be pleased to do this, I know, for her letters are full of enthusiasm about you.

And, after all, I do not think you will lose by the exchange.

Clever as I think myself, I fear I should find myself sorely at fault in the society of to-day.

All things are changed: opinions, manners, creeds, morals even.
