I have lived a dreadfully worldly, selfish life.

And now, John, I am come to the end.

You dear good man, your trials with me are almost over; but I want you to know that you really have succeeded.

John, I do love you now with all my heart, though I did not love you when I married you.

And, John, I do feel that God will take pity on me, poor and good for nothing as I am, just because I see how patient and kind you have always been to me when I have been so very provoking.
