I saw you meet Mr.Stewart, and was confirmed in my supposition.

I gave up all hope of ever winning your affection in return.

Now I see my error in believing for a moment that you felt otherwise to him than as a brother, as the betrothed of your cousin.

I know that you have never loved him, and pardon my error.

When I sought you just now, it was to say good-by, and in absence and varied and exciting pursuits to shut out from my heart the memory of my hopes and fears.
