CHAPTER VIII

And I am much deceived--which I think I am not--or you will find in Albert just the very qualities and dispositions which are indispensable for your happiness, and _which will suit your own character, temper, and mode of life_.

You say most amiably that you consider it a sacrifice on the part of Albert.

This is true in many points, because his position will be a difficult one; but much, I may say _all_, will depend on your affection for him.

If _you love him, and are kind to him_, he will easily bear the burthen of the position; and there is a steadiness and at the same time cheerfulness in his character which will facilitate this.

I think your plans excellent.
