I have laid down my plan, and if I am capable of adhering to it--my feelings shall be governed and my temper improved.

They shall no longer worry others, nor torture myself.

I shall now live solely for my family.

You, my mother, and Margaret, must henceforth be all the world to me; you will share my affections entirely between you.

From you, from my home, I shall never again have the smallest incitement to move; and if I do mix in other society, it will be only to shew that my spirit is humbled, my heart amended, and that I can practise the civilities, the lesser duties of life, with gentleness and forbearance.
