You know when people try a new food, and suddenly it's like, okay, hold on. I got a new favorite food. That's the reaction a lot of people are having when they first try Cupid Mayo. Yeah, it's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it at the grocery store. And this mayo is different. Mm-hmm. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. Cupid only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, chefs use it, restaurants use it, people who really care about flavor use it, put it on just about anything. Then you'll understand. Cupid, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have eczema. So I get how it can steal your time. But why let eczema take over when you can talk to your doctor about eczlas? Ebbgliss, lubricism ab, LBKZ. A 250 milligram per 2 milliliter injection

3:07Cillary, January 16. So, my dear, we went on too fast, it seems. Sir George was so obliging as to settle all without waiting for Emily's consent, not having supposed her refusal to be in the chapter of possibilities. After having communicated their plans of operations to me as an affair settled, Papah was dispatched as Sir George's ambassador to inform Emily of his gracious intentions in her favor. She received him with proper dignity, and like a girl of true spirit, told him, that as the delay was originally from Sir George, she should insist on observing the conditions very exactly, and was determined to wait till spring, whatever might be the contents of Mrs. Clayton's expected letter. Reserving to herself also the privilege of refusing him even then,

4:10if upon mature deliberation she should think proper to do so. She has further insisted that till that time he shall leave, Cillary, take up his abode in Quebec, unless, which she thinks most advisable, he should return to Montreal for the winter, and never attempt seeing her without witnesses. As their present situation is particularly delicate, and that whilst it continues, they can have nothing to say to each other, which their common friends may not with propriety here. All she can be prevailed on to consent to in his favor is to allow him on on Tandant to visit here like any other gentleman. I wish she would send him back to Montreal, for I see plainly he will spoil all our little parties. Emily is a fine girl Lucy, and I am friends with her again. So my dear, I shall revive my coterie, and be happy two or three months longer.

5:17I have sent to ask my two sweet fellows at Quebec to dine here. I really long to see them. I shall let them into the present state of affairs here, for they both despise her George as much as I do. The creature looks amazingly foolish, and I enjoy his humiliation not a little. Such an animal to set up for being beloved indeed, oh to be sure. Emily has sent for me to her apartment. I do for a moment. 11 o'clock. She has shown me Mrs. Melmuss' letter on the subject of concluding the marriage immediately. It is in the true spirit of family impertinence. She writes with the kind, discreet, insolence of a relation. And Emily has answered with the genuine spirit of an independent English woman, who is so happy as to be her own mistress, and who is therefore determined to

6:20think for herself. She has refused going to Montreal at all this winter, and has hinted, though not impolitely, that she wants no guardian of her conduct but herself, adding a compliment to my lady's discretion so very civil. It is impossible for me to repeat it with decency. Evans, your brother and Fitzgerald, I fly. The dear creatures, my life has been absolute vegetation since they absented themselves. Adieu my dear, your faithful a. Fairmore. Let her 56. To Miss Rivers, Clarges Street, Cillary, January 24. We have the same parties and amusements we used to have my dear, but there is by no means the same spirit in them. Constraint and doneness seem to have taken the place of that sweet vivacity and confidence which made our little society so pleasing.

7:26This is Rick Bird just from the Rick Bird Show. I want to talk to you for a second about something most of us put on autopilot, car insurance.

8:30This is Bowen Yang from Los Cultures. He's dust with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try new food and suddenly it's like, wait, that's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. If you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Eggs sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere. Chefs use it, restaurants use it. People who really care about never try it, grab the bottle with the red cap next time you're at the store. Put it on just about anything, then you'll understand. QB, the original Japanese mayonnaise. Hey, it's Kelly Rowland. You may not know this, but I have eczema. So I get how it can still your time.

9:32But why let eczema take over when you can talk to your doctor about ebglyce? Ebglyce, lubricism app, LBKZ. A 250mg per 2mL injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40kg, with moderate to severe eczema.

10:34He is more an antidote to joy than a tall maiden aunt. I wish he would go. I say spontaneously every time I see him without considering I am in polite. La, sir George, when do you go to Montreal? He reddens and gives me a peefish answer, and I then and not before recollect how very important the question is. But pray, my dear, because he has no taste for social companionable life, as he therefore, a white to damp the spirit of it in those that have? I intend to consult some learned casuous on this head. He takes amazing pains to please in his way, is curled, powdered, perfumed, and exhibits every day in a new suit of embroidery. But with all this,

11:34has the mortification to see your brother please more in a plain coat? I am lazy. I do yours ever and ever, a femur. Letter 57. I have had, considering my profession and complexion, very few in dreams. I have always had an idea.

12:44I should sometime or other marry, and have been unwilling to bring to a state in which I hope for happiness from mutual affection, a heart worn out by a course of gallant trees. To a contrary, conduct is, or we most of our unhappy marriages, the woman brings with her all her stock of tenderness, truth, and affection. The man's is exhausted before they meet. She finds the generous delicate tenderness of her soul, not only unreturned but unabserved. She fancies some other woman, the object of his affection. She is unhappy, she pines in secret, he observes her discontent, accuses her of caprice, and her portion is retidness for life. If I did not ardently wish your happiness, I should not thus repeatedly come back upregidious, which as you have sensibility will, in thoughtly, make the greater part of your life,

13:44a scene of insipidity and regret. Your right, Jack, has to the savages. The only way to civilize them is to feminize their women, but the task is rather difficult. That present, there are manners, different nothing from those of the men. They even add to the ferocity of the ladder. You desire to know the state of my heart. Excuse me, Jack. You know nothing of love, and we who do never disclose its mysteries to the profane. Besides, I always choose a female for the confidante of my sentiments. I hate even to speak of love to one of my own sex. I do, I'm going a party with half a dozen ladies and have not another minute to spare. Yours, Ed Rivers. Reta 58 To Miss Rivers' Clarges Street, January 28, I every hour my dear grow more in love with

14:47French manners, there is something charming and being young and sprightly all one's life. It would appear absurd in England to hear what I have just heard, a fat, virtuous lady of 70 toast love and opportunity to a young fellow. But to nothing here, they dance too to the last gasp. I have seen the daughter, mother, and granddaughter in the same French country dance. They are perfectly right, and I honor them for their good sense and spirit in determining to make life agreeable as long as they can. I propose to age, I am resolved to go home, Lucy. I have found three gray hairs this morning. They tell me to his common, this vile climate is at war with beauty. Makes one's hair gray and one's hands red. I won't stay absolutely.

15:52Do you know there is a very pretty fellow here, Lucy, Captain Howard, who has taken a fancy to make people believe he and I are on good terms. He affects to sit by me, to dance with me, to whisper nothing to me, to bow with an air of mystery, and to show me all the little attentions of a lover in public, though he never yet said a civil thing to me when we were alone. I was standing with him this morning near the brow of the hill, leaning against a tree in the sunshine, and looking down the precipice below, when I said something of the lover's leap, and in play, as you will suppose, made a step forwards. We had been talking of in different things. His air was till then indolence itself, but on this little motion of mine, though there was

16:52not the least danger, he, with the utmost seeming eagerness, catch-told of me as if alarmed at the very idea, and with the most passionate air, protested his life depended on mine, and that he would not live an hour after me. I looked at him with astonishment, not being able to comprehend the meaning of this sudden flight. When turning my head, I saw a gentleman and lady close behind us, whom he had observed, though I had not. They were retiring. Pray, approach my dear Madame said, I, we have no secrets. This declaration was intended for you to hear. We were talking of the weather before you came. He affected to smile, though I saw he was mortified. But as his smile showed the finest teeth imaginable, I forgave him.

17:53He is really very handsome, and his pity he has this foolish quality of preferring the shadow to the substance. I shall, however, desire him to flirt elsewhere, as this bodhnaj, however innocent, may hurt my character, and give pain to my little Fitzgerald. I believe I begin to love this fellow, because I begin to be delicate on the subject of flirtations, and feel my spirit of co-catchery decline every day. 29th Mrs. Clayton has wrote my dear, and has at last condescended to allow Emily the honor of being her daughter-in-law, in consideration of her son's happiness, and of engagements entered into with her own consent. Though she very prudently observes that what was a proper match for Captain

18:58Clayton is by no means so for Sir George, and talks something of an offer of a citizen's daughter with fifty thousand pounds, and the promise of an Irish title. She has, however, observed that indiscreet engagements are better broke than kept. Sir George has shown the letter, a very indelicate one, in my opinion, to my father and me, and has talked a great deal of nonsense on the subject. He wants to show it to Emily, and I advise him to it, because I know the effect it will have. I see plainly he wishes to make great merit of keeping his engagement if he does keep it. He hinted a little fear of breaking her heart, and I am convinced if he thought she could survive

19:58his infidelity, all his tenderness and constancy would cede to filial duty and a coronet. 11 o'clock, after much deliberation, Sir George has determined to write to Emily, enclose his mother's letter, and call in the afternoon to enjoy the triumph of his generosity in keeping his engagement, when it is in his power to do so much better.

My father who wishes the match shrugs his shoulders and frowns at me. But the little man is fixed as fate in his resolve and is writing at this moment in my father's apartment. How long to see his letter? I dare say it will be a curiosity. Tis short, however, for he is coming out of the room already. I do, my father calls for this letter. It is to go in one of his to New York.

24:08And the person who takes it waits for it at the door. Ever yours, a fair more. Leta 59. To miss Montague at Suralee. Dear Madam, I send you the enclosed from my mother. I thought it necessary you should see it, though not even a mother's wishes shall ever influence me to break those engagements which I have had the happiness of entering into with the most charming of women, and which a man of honor ought to hold sacred. I do not think happiness entirely dependent on rank or fortune, and have only to wish my mother sentiments on this subject more agreeable to my own, as there is nothing I so much wish as to oblige her. At all events, however, depend on my fulfilling those promises, which ought to be the more binding, as they were made at a time when our situations were more equal. I am happy in an opportunity of convincing you and the

25:14world that interests and ambition have no power over my heart when put in competition with what I owe to my engagements, being with the greatest truth, my dearest Madam, yours, etc. G Clayton. You will do me the honor to name the day to make me happy. Let her 60. I have therefore no reason to expect in you the most imprudent disinterestedness, the passion occasions. A folder explanation is necessary on this subject than is possible to enter into a letter.

26:19If you will favor us with your company this afternoon, at Celery, we may explain our sentiments more clearly to each other. Be assured I will never prevent your complying in every instance with the wishes of so kind and prudent to mother. I am dear sir, your affectionate friend and obedient servant, Emily Montague. Let her 61. To Miss Riva's Clarge's Street. I have been with Emily, who has been reading Mrs. Clayton's letter. I saw Joyce sparkle in her eyes as she went on. Her little heart seemed to flutter with transport. I see two things very clearly, one of which is, that she never loved this little insipid baronette. The other, I leave your sagacity to find out. All the spirit of her countenance is returned. She walks in air. Her cheeks have the blush of pleasure. I never saw so astonishing a change. I never felt more joy from the acquisition

27:24of a new lover than she seems to find in the prospect of losing an old one. She has written to Sir George, and in a style that I know will hurt him. For though I believe he wishes her to give him up, yet his vanity would desire it should cost her very dear, and appear the effort of disinterested love and romantic generosity. Not what it really is, the effect of the most tranquil and perfect indifference. By the way, a disinterested mistress is according to my ideas on mistress who fancies she loves. We may talk what we please, at a distance, of sacrificing the dear man to his interest, and promoting his happiness by destroying our own. But when it comes to the point, I am rather inclined to believe all women are of my way of thinking, and let me die

28:26if I would give up a man I loved to the first Duchess in Christendom. Tis all mighty well in theory, but for the practical part, let who will believe it for bell. Indeed, when a woman finds her lover inclined to change, Tis good to make a virtue of necessity, and give the thing a sentimental turn, which gratifies his vanity, and does not wound one's own. A dude, I see Sir George and his fine carry-o. I must run and tell Emily, ever yours, a fan. Let us 62. To Miss Rivers, Larger Street, January 28th, yes, my Lucy, your brother, tenderly regrets the absence of a sister, endeared to him much more by her amiable qualities than by blood, who would be the object of his esteem, and admiration if she was not that of his

29:26fraternal tenderness, who has all the blooming graces, simplicity, and innocence of 19, with the accomplishments and understanding of five and twenty, who joins the strength of mind so often confined to our sex, through the softness, delicacy, and diversity of her own, who ensured is all that is estimable and lovely, and to accept one is the most charming of her sex, you will forgive the exception, Lucy, perhaps no man but a brother would make it. My sweet Emily appears every day more amiable. She is now in the full tyranny of her charms at the age when the mind is improved, and the person in its perfection. Every day see in her more indifference to her lover a circumstance which gives me a pleasure, which perhaps it ought not. There is a selfishness in it for which I am afraid I ought to blush. You judge perfectly well my dear and checking the natural vivacity of your temper, however pleasing it is to all who converse with you.

30:30Cochetry is dangerous to English women because they have sensibility. It is more suited to the French who are naturally something of the salamander kind. I have this moment a note from Bell Firmark that she must see me this instant. I hope my Emily is well. Heaven preserve the most perfect of all its work, so do you, my dear girl, your affectionate ad rivers. Let us 63. To miss rivers, clarges street, February 1. We have passed three or four drool days, my dear. Emily persists in resolving to break with Sir George. He thinks it decent to combat her resolution, lest he should lose the praise of generosity. He is also peaked to see her give him up with such perfect composure. Though I am condensed, he will not be sorry upon the whole to be given up.

31:35He has, from the first receipt of the letter, plainly wished her to resign him, but hoped for a few faintings and tears as a sacrifice to his vanity on the occasion. My father is setting every engine at work to make things up again, supposing Emily to have determined from peak, not from the real feelings of her heart. He is frightened to death lest I should counter work him, and so jealous of my advising her to continue a conduct he so much disapproves, that he won't leave us a moment together. He even observes carefully that each goes into her respective apartment when we retire to bed. This jealousy has started an idea, which I think will amuse us, and which I shall take the first opportunity of communicating to Emily, tis to write each other at night our sentiments on

32:42whatever passes in the day. If she approves the plan, I will send you the letters, which will save me a great deal of trouble in telling you all of our petty heastwah. This scheme will have another advantage. We shall be a thousand times more sincere and open to each other by letter than face to face. I have long seen by her eyes that the little fool has twenty things to say to me, but has not the courage. Now letters you know my dear, excuse the blush, and pour out all the heart. Besides it will be so romantic and pretty, almost as agreeable as a love affair. I long to begin the correspondence. Up to yours a fair more. This is Rick Bird just from the Rick Bird Show.

To Miss Rivers, Clarges Street, Quebec February 5th, I have better moment. My Lucy to tell you my divine Emily has broke with her lover who this morning took an eternal leave of her and set out for Montreal in his way to New York when she proposes to embark for England. My sensations on this occasion are not to be described. I admire that Amy Bodelecacy which has influenced her to give up every advantage of rank and fortune which could tempt the heart of woman rather than unite herself to a man for whom she felt the least degree of indifference. And this without regarding the centuries ever family or of the world by whom what they will call her imprudence will never be forgiven. A woman who is capable of acting so nobodies worthy of being beloved, of being adored by every man who has a soul to distinguish

36:54her perfections. If I was a vain man I might perhaps fancy her regard for me had some share in determining her conduct but I'm convinced of the contrary, it is the native delicacy of her soul alone incapable of forming an union in which the heart has no share which independent of any other consideration has been the cause of a resolution so worthy of herself. That she has the tendrous affection for me I cannot doubt one moment her attention is too flattering to be unobserved but is that kind of affection in which the mind alone is concerned. I never gave her the most distant hint that I loved her inner situation it would have been even and outraged to have done so. She knows the narrowness of my circumstances and how near impossible it is for me to marry. She therefore could not have an idea no my dear girl it is not to love but to true delicacy that she has sacrificed, averace and ambition and she is a thousand times the more estimable

39:00narrated by Sonia letter 65 To Miss Rivers Clarges Street, Syllery February 10 I have mentioned my plan to Emily who is charmed with it. Tis a pretty evening amusement for two solitary girls in the country. Behold the first fruits of our correspondence. To Miss Furmore, it is not to you my dear girl. I need vindicate my conduct in regard to Sir George. You have from the first approved it. You have even advised it. If I have been to blame, Tis in having too long delayed an explanation on a point of such importance to us both. I have been long in the borders of a precipice without courage to retire from so dangerous a situation. Overborn by my family, I have been near marrying a man for whom I have not the least tenderness, and whose conversation is even now tedious to me. My dear friend, we were not formed for each other.

40:00Our minds have not the least resemblance. Have you not observed that when I have timidly hazarded my ideas on the delicacy necessary to keep love alive and married? And the difficulty of preserving the heart of the object beloved in so intimate a union. He has indolently ascended with a coldness not to be described, two sentiments which it is plain from his manner he did not understand. Will another not interested in the conversation, has by his countenance, by the fire of his eyes, by looks more eloquent than all language, shoot his soul was intelligence with mine. A strong sense of the force of engagements entered into with my consent, though not the effect of my free unbiased choice, and the fear of making Sir George, by whom I suppose myself beloved, unhappy, have thus long prevented my resolving to break with him forever. And though I could not bring myself to marry him, I found myself at the same time incapable of assuming sufficient resolution to tell him so. Till his mother's letter gave me so

Your Emily has been wretched without daring to confess it even to you. I was ashamed of owning I had entered into such engagements with a man whom I had never loved. Though I had for a short time mistaken a steam for a greater degree of affection than my heart ever really knew. How fatal my dear Bell is this mistake to half our sex and how happy I am to discover mine in time. I have scarce yet asked myself what I intend, but I think it would be

44:12most prudent to return to England in the first ship and retire to a relation of my mothers in the country, where I can live with decency on my little fortune. Whatever is my fate, no situation can be equally unhappy with that of being a wife to a man whom I have never the slightest friendship or a steam, for whose conversation I have not the least taste and who, if I know him, would forever think me under an obligation to him for marrying me. I have the pleasure to see I give no pain to his heart by a step which has relieved mine from misery. His feelings are those of wounded vanity, not of love. Had you, your Emily Montague. I have no patience with relations, Lucy. This sweet girl has been two years wretched under the bondage her uncle's averis, for he for sauce or George's acquisition though she did not, prepared for her. Parents should choose our company,

45:14but never even pretend to direct our choice. If they take care, we converse with men of honor only. Tis impossible we can choose a miss. A conformity of taste and sentiment alone can make marriage happy, and of that none but the parties concerned can judge. By the way, I think long engagements, even between persons who love, extremely unfavorable to happiness. It is certainly right to be long enough acquainted to know something of each other's temper, but Tis bad to let the first fire burn out before we come together. And when we have once resolved, I have no notion of delaying a moment. If I should ever consent to marry Fitzgerald and he should not fly for a license before I had finished the sentence, I would dismiss him if there was not another lover to

46:18be had in Canada. Ado, you're faithful, A. Thamur. My Emily is now free as air, a sweet little bird escaped from the gilded cage. Are you not glad of it, Lucy? I am amazingly. Let her 66. To miss rivers, Largest Street, Quibbac, February 11th, would one think it possible, Lucy, that Sir George should console himself with the loss of all that is lovely in woman by the sorted prospect of acquiring by an interested marriage, a little more of that wealth of which he has already much more than he can either enjoy or become. By what wretched motives are half-man kind, influenced in the most important action of their lives. The vulgar of every rank, expect happiness where it is not to be found in the ideal advantages of splendor and dissipation.

47:25Those who dare to think, those minds who partake of the celestial fire seek it in the real, solid pleasures of nature and soft defection. I have seen my lovely Emily, since I wrote to you, I shall not see her again of some days. I do not intend at present to make my visits to Cillary so frequent, as I have done lately, lest the world ever studious to blame, should misconstrue her conduct on this very delicate occasion. I am even afraid to show my usual attention to her when present, lest she herself should think I presume, on the politeness she has ever shown me and see her breaking with Sir George in a false light. The greater I think her obliging partiality to me, the more guarded I ought to be in my behavior to her. Her situation has some resemblance to widowhood and she has equal decorum to observe. I cannot, however, help encouraging,

48:32a pleasing hope that I am not absolutely indifferent to her. Her lovely eyes have a softness when they meet mine to which words cannot do justice. She talks less to me than to others, but it is in a tone of voice which penetrates my soul. And when I speak her attention is most flattering, though of a nature not to be seen by common observers without seeming to distinguish me from the crowd, who strive to engage her esteem and friendship. She has a manner of addressing me which the heart alone can feel. She can drive to prevent my appearing to give her any preference to the rest of her sex, yet I have seen her blush at my civility to another. She has at least a friendship for me which alone would make the happiness of my life and which I would prefer to the love of the most charming woman imagination could form, sensible as I am to the sweetest of all passions. This friendship

49:38however, time and aciduity may ripen into love. At least I should be most happy if I did not think so. I lover with the tenderness of which few of my sex or capable you have often told me and you were right that my heart has all the sensibility of woman. A male is arrived by which I hope to hear from you. I must hurry to the post office. You shall hear again in a few days. Adieu, your affectionate ed rivers. Let her 67. To Colonel Rivers, as Quebec. London, December 1st. You need to be in no pain my dear brother or Mr. Temple's account. My heart is in no danger from a man of his present character. His passing and manner are certainly extremely pleasing. His understanding, and I believe his principles, are worthy of your friendship. Anancomium which, and let me observe,

50:38is from me a very high one. He will be admired everywhere. But to be beloved, he wants, or at least appears to me to want, the most endearing of all qualities, that genuine tenderness of soul, that almost feminine sensibility, which, with all your firmness of mind and spirit, you possess beyond any man I ever met with. If your friend wishes to please me, which I almost fancy he does, he must endeavour to resemble you. Tis rather hard upon me, I think, that the only man I perfectly approve, and whose disposition is forward to make me happy, should be my brother. I beg you will find out somebody very like yourself your sister, for you have really made me saucy. I pity you heartily, and wish above all things to hear of your Emily's marriage, for your present situation must be extremely unpleasant. But my dear brother, as you were so very wise about Temple, allow me to ask you whether it is

51:38quite consistent with prudence, to throw yourself in the way of a woman so formed to inspire you with tenderness, and whom it is so impossible you can ever hope to possess. Is not this acting a little like a foolish girl, who plays around the flame which she knows will consume her? My mother as well, but will never be happy till you return to England. I often find your interiors over your letters, I will say no more on a subject which I know will give you pain. I hope however, to hear you have given up all thoughts of settling in America. It would be a better plan to turn farmer in Rotland. We could double the estate by living upon it, and I am sure I should make the prettiest milkmaid in the country. I am serious, and think we could live very superbly altogether in the country. Consider it well, my dear Ned, for I cannot to bad see my mother so unhappy as your absence makes her. I hear her on the stairs, I must hurry away my letter, for I don't choose you to know I wrote to you on this subject. Adieu, your faction it, Lucy Rivers.

52:44Say everything for me to bell firmer, and in your own manner to your Emily, in whose friendship I promise myself great happiness. Let her 68 To Miss Montague at Celery, Montreal, February 10. Never has any astonishment equal mine, my dear Emily, adhering you had broken engagement of years, so much to your advantage as to fortune, and with a man of so very unexceptionable a character is so George, without any other apparent cause than a slight indelicacy in a letter of his mothers, for which candor and affection would have found a thousand excuses. I will not allow myself to suppose what is, however, publicly said here, that you have sacrificed prudence to Choram, and I had almost said honour, to an imprudent inclination for a man, to whom there is the strongest reason to believe you are indifferent, and to his even said to have an attachment to another. I mean Colonel Rivers, who, though a man of worth, is in a situation which makes him

53:46possible for him to think of you, where you even as dear to him as the world says he is to you. I am too unhappy to say more on this subject, but expect from our past friendship a very sincere answer to two questions, where the love for Colonel Rivers was the real motive for the indiscreet step you have taken, and whether, if it was, you have the excuse of knowing he loves you. I should be glad to know what are your views, if you have any. This is Rick Burgess from the Rick Burgess Show.

To Mrs. Mel Moth at Montreux, Salieri February 19th. My dear Madame, I am too

56:54sensible of the rights of friendship to refuse answering your questions, which I shall do in as few words as possible. I have not the least reason to suppose myself beloved by Colonel Rivers, nor, if I know my heart, do I love him in that sense of word your question supposes. I think him the best, the most amiable of mankind, in my extreme affection for him, though I believe that affection only a very lively friendship. First awaken me to a sense of the indelicacy and impropriety of marrying Sir George. To enter into so sacred an engagement as marriage with one man, with a stronger affection for another, of how calm and innocent in nature, so ever, that affection may be. His degree of baseness of which my heart is incapable. When I first agreed to marry Sir George, I had no superior esteem for any other man. I thought highly of him and wanted courage to resist the pressing solicitations of my uncle, to whom I had a thousand obligations. I even almost persuaded myself I loved him,

57:55nor did I find my mistake till I saw Colonel Rivers. In his conversation I had so lively a pleasure as soon convinced me of my mistake. I therefore resolved to break with Sir George, and nothing but the fear of giving him pain prevented my doing it sooner. His behavior on the receipt of his mother's letter removed that fear, and set me free in my own opinion, and I hope well in yours, from engagements which were equally in the way of my happiness, and his ambition. If he is sincere, he will tell you my refusal of him made him happy, though he chooses to affect a shagrin which he does not feel. I have no view but that of returning to England in the spring and fixing with the relation in the country. If Colonel Rivers has an attachment, I hope it is to one worthy of him. For my own part, I never entertain the remotest thought of him in any light, but that of the most sincere and tender friends. I am mad at him with greatest deem, your affectionate friend and obedient servant, Emily Montague. Let us 70. To Miss Rivers' Largest Street,

59:01Silvery February 27, there are two parties at Quebec in regard to Emily, the prudent mamas abuse her for losing a good match, and suppose it to proceed from her partiality to your brother, to the imprudence of which they give no quarter. Whilst the Mrs. admire her generosity and spirit, in sacrificing all for love, so impossible it is to please everybody. However, she has, in my opinion, done the wisest thing in the world. That is, she has pleased herself. As to her inclination for your brother, I am of their opinion. That she loves him, without being quite clear in the point herself. She has not yet confessed the fact, even to be. But she has speaking eyes, Lucy, and I think I can interpret their language. Whether he sees it or not,

1:00:06I cannot tell. I rather think he does, because he has been less here, and more guarded in his manner when here, than before this matrimonial affair was put an end to. Which is naturally not on that supposition, because he knows the imprudence of Quebec, and is both prudent and delicate to a great degree. He comes, however, and we are pretty good company, only a little more reserved on both sides, which is, in my opinion, a little symptomatic. La, here's Papa, come up to write at my bureau. I dare say it's only to pry into what I am about, but excuse me, my dear sir, for that. Adieu, Chucandoma, matrimonial, yours, a fair more.

1:01:06Let us 71. To Miss Rivers, Largest Street, Quebec, February 20th, every hour, my Lucy, convinces me more clearly, there is no happiness for me without this lovely woman. Her turn of mind is so correspondent to my own, that we seem to have but one soul. The first moment I saw her, the idea struck me that we had been friends in some pre-existent state, and we're only renewing our acquaintance here. When she speaks, my heart vibrates to the sound, and owns every thought she expresses a native there. The same deerefections, the same tender sensibility, the most precious gift of heaven, inform our minds and make us peculiarly, capable of exquisite happiness or misery. The passions, my Lucy, are common to all, but the affections, the lively sweet affections,

1:02:06the only sources of true pleasure are the portion only of a chosen few. Uncertained present of the nature of her sentiments, I'm determined to develop them clearly before I discover mine. If she loves as I do, even a perpetual exile here will be pleasing. The remotest wood in Canada with her would be no longer a desert wild, it would be the habitation of the graces. But I forget your letter, my dear girl, I'm hurt beyond words at what you tell me of my mother, and would instantly return to England, did not my fondness for this charming woman, detained me here, you are both too good and wishing to retire with me to the country. Will your attenderness lead you a step farther, my Lucy? It would be too much to hope to see you here, and yet if I marry Emily, it will be impossible for me to think of returning to England. There is a man here whom I should prefer of all men I ever saw for you, but he is already attached

1:03:12to your friend, Bell, farmer, who is very inattensive to her own happiness if she refuses him. I'm very happy in finding you think of temple as I wish you should. You are so very civil, Lucy, in regard to me, I'm afraid of becoming vain from your praises. Take care, my dear, you don't spoil me by this excess of civility for my only merit is that of not being a oxcone. I have a heaviness of heart which has never left me since I read your letter. I'm shocked at the idea of giving pain to the best parent that ever existed, yet have less hope than ever of seeing England without giving up the tender friend, the dear companion, the adored mistress, in short the very woman. I have all my life been in search of. I'm also hurt that I cannot place this object of all my wishes in a station equal to that she has rejected and I begin to think rejected for me. I never before repined at seeing the gifts of fortune lavished on the unworthy.

1:04:17I do you my dear, I will write again when I can write more cheerfully your affectionate adrivers. Lata 72 Lata 72 To the Earl of Blank. Lata 72 Silerie Lata 72 February 20 Lata 72 My lord, your lordship does me great honor and supposing me capable of giving any satisfactory account of a country in which I have spent only a few months. As a proof however of my zeal, and the very strong desire I have to merit the esteem you honor me with, I shall communicate from time to time, the little I have observed, and may observe as well as what I hear from good authority with that lively pleasure with which I have ever obeyed every command of your lordships. The French in the first settling this colony seemed to have an eye only to the conquest of eyes. The whole system of policy seems to have been military, not commercial, or only so far commercial

1:05:19as was necessary to supply the wants, and by so doing to gain the friendship of the savages in order to make use of them against us. The lands are held on military tenure, every peasant is a soldier, every senior and officer, and both serve without pay whenever called upon. The services accept a very small quit rent by a way of acknowledgement, all they pay for their lands, the assaynure holds of the crown, the peasant of the senure, who is at once his lord and commander. The peasants are in general tall and robust, notwithstanding their excessive indolence. They love war and hate labor, our brave, hearty, alert in the field, but lazy and inactive at home, in which they resemble the savages, whose matters they seem strongly to have imbibed. The government appears to have encouraged a military spirit all over the colony,

1:06:20though ignorant and stupid to a great degree, these peasants have a strong sense of honor, and though they serve, as I have said without pay, are never so happy as when called to the field. They are excessively vain, and not only look on the French as the only civilized nation in the world, but on themselves as the flower of the French nation. They had, I am told, a great aversion to the regular troops which came from France and the late war, and it contempt equal to that aversion. They however had an affection and esteem for the late Marquie de Moncom, which almost rose to idolatry, and I have even at this distance of time seen many of them and tears at the mention of his name, an honest tribute to the memory of a commander equally brave and humane, for whom his enemies wept even on the day when their own hero felt. I am called upon for this letter, and have only time to assure your lordship of my respect and

1:07:21of the pleasure I always receive from your commands. I have the honor to be, my lord, your lordships, etc. William Firmor. Let us 73. To Miss Firmor, February 24th, 11 at night, I have indeed my dear, a pleasure in his conversation, to which words cannot do justice. Love itself is less tender and lively than my friendship for rivers. From the first moment I saw him, I lost all taste of other conversation, even yours, amiable as you are, borrows its most prevailing charm from the pleasure of hearing you talk of him. When I call my tenderness for him friendship, I do not mean either to paint myself as an enemy to tender sentiments, or him as one whom it is easy to see without feeling them. All I mean is that our situations make it impossible for us to think of each other except as friends. I have endeavored, I hope, with success, to see him in no other light. It is not in his power to

1:08:22marry without fortune, and mine is a trifle. Had I worlds they should be his, but I am neither so selfish as to desire, nor so romantic as to expect, that he should descend from the rank of life he has been bred in, and live lost to the world with me. As to the impertinence of two or three women, I hear of it with perfect indifference. My dear, rivers esteems me, he approves my conduct, and all else is below my care. The applause of worlds would give me less pleasure than one smile of appropriation from him. I am astonished your father should know me so little, as to suppose me capable of being influenced even by you. When I deterban to refuse her, George, it was from the feelings of my own heart alone. The first moment I saw Colonel Rivers convinced me my heart had tell then been a stranger to true tenderness. From that moment my life has been one continued struggle between my reason, which should me the folly as well as in decency of marrying one man when I so infinitely preferred another, and a false point of honor and mistaken compassion,

1:09:25from which painful state a concurrence of favorable accidents has at length happily relieved me, and left me free to act as becomes me. Of this, my dear, be assured that though I have not the least idea of marrying Colonel Rivers, yet wills my sentiments for him continue what they are, I will never marry another man. I am heard at what Mrs. Melmoth hinted in her letter to you, of Rivers having appeared to attach himself to me from vanity, she endeavours in vain to destroy my esteem for him. You well know, he never did appear to attach himself to me. He is incapable of having done it from such a motive, but if he had such delight I have in whatever pleases him, that I should with joy have sacrificed my own vanity to gratify his. Adieu, your Emily Montague. Let her 74. To Miss Montague, February 25, 8 o'clock just up. My dear, you deceive yourself. You love Colonel Rivers. You love him even with all the tenderness of romance. Read over again the

1:10:29latter part of your letter. I know friendship and of what it is capable, but I fear the sacrifices it makes are of a different nature. Examine your heart, my Emily, and tell me the result of that examination. It is of the utmost consequence to you to be clear as to the nature of your affection for Rivers. Adieu, yours a fair more.

And with clear sincerity, which is the cement of our friendship, has not your own heart discovered to you the secret of mine, do you not also love this most amiable of mankind? Yes, you do, and I am lost. It is not in women to see him without love. There are a thousand

1:14:38charms in his conversation, in his look nay, in the very sound of his voice, to which it is impossible for a soul like yours to be insensible. I have observed you a thousand times, listening to him with that air of softness and complacency. Believe me, my dear, I am not angry with you for loving him. He is formed to charm the heart of woman. I have not the least right to complain of you. You knew nothing of my passion for him. You even regarded me almost as the wife of another. But tell me, though my heart dies within me at the question. Is your tenderness mutual? Does he love you? I have observed a coldness in his manner lately, which now alarms me. My heart is torn in pieces. Must I receive this wound from the two persons on earth most dear to me? Indeed, my dear, this is more than your Emily can bear. Tell me only whether you love. I will not ask more. Is there on earth a man who complies where he appears? Let us 76 To miss Montague. You have discovered me in my sweet Emily. I love not quite so dyingly as you do,

1:15:44but I love. Will you forgive me when I add that I am beloved? It is unnecessary to add the name of him I love, as you have so kindly appropriated the whole sex to Colonel Rivers. However, to show you it is possible you may be mistaken. Tis the little thits I love, who in my eye is ten times more agreeable than even your non-parell of a Colonel. I know you will think me a shocking wretch for this depravity of taste, but so it is. Upon my word, I am haph inclined to be angry with you for not being in love with Fitzgerald. A tall Irishman with good eyes has as clear a title to make conquests as other people. Yes, my dear, there is a man on earth, and even in the little town of Quebec, who can please where he appears.

1:16:50Surely, child, if there was but one man on earth who could please, you would not be so unreasonable as to engross him all to yourself. For my part, though I like Fitzgerald extremely, I by no means insist that every other woman shall. Go, you are a foolish girl, and don't know what you would be at. Rivers is a very handsome agreeable fellow, but it is in woman to see him without dying for love, of which behold your little bell and example. A do, be wiser, and believe me, ever yours a fair more.

Don't answer this because I am certain you can say nothing on the subject which will not be very foolish.

1:17:55Let us 77. Yours, Emily Montague. To miss Montague, you are right, my dear, it is more prudent to go with my father. I love prudence, and will therefore send for Madam Wazelclerot to be Rivers' bell. Yours a fair more. Let us 79. To miss farmer, you are a provoking chit, and I will go with rivers. Your father may attend Madam Villiers, who you know will naturally take it ill if she is not of our party.

1:18:59We can ask Madam Wazelclerot another time. How do you, your Emily Montague? Let her 80. To miss Rivers' clarges street. Silvery, February 25. Those who have heard no more of a Canadian winter than what regards the intenseness of its cold, must suppose it a very joyless season. Tizai assure you quite otherwise. There are indeed some days here of the severity of which those who were never out of England can form no conception. But those days seldom exceed a dozen in a whole winter, nor do they come in succession. But at intermediate periods, as the winds set in from the northwest, which coming some hundred leagues from frozen lakes and rivers, over woods and mountains covered with snow, would be insupportable where it not for the furs

1:19:59with which the country abounds, in such variety and plenty as to be within the reach of all its inhabitants. Thus defended the British bells set the winter of Canada at defiance. And the season of which you seem to entertain such terrible ideas is that of the utmost cheerfulness and festivity. But what particularly pleases me is, there is no place where women are of such importance. Not one of the sex who has the least share of attractions is without a levy of bow, interceding for the honor of attending her on some party, of which every day produces three or four. I am just returned from one of the most agreeable johns imagination can paint, to the island of Orleans by the falls of Montmorency. The ladder is almost nine miles distant

1:21:05across the great basin of Quebec. But as we are obliged to reach it in winter by the waving line, our direct road being intercepted by the inequalities of the ice, it is now perhaps a third more. You will possibly suppose a ride of this kind must want one of the greatest essentials to entertainment, that of variety, and imagine it only one dull whirl over an unverried plain of snow. On the contrary, my dear, we pass hills and mountains of ice in the trifling space of these few miles. The basin of Quebec is formed by the conflux of the rivers, st. Charles and Montmorency, with the great river St. Lawrence, the rapidity of whose flood tide, as these rivers are gradually

1:22:06seized by the frost, breaks up the ice and drives it back in heaps till it forms ridges of transparent rock to a height that is astonishing. And of a strength which bids defiance to the utmost rage of the most furiously rushing tide, this circumstance makes this little journey more pleasing than you can possibly conceive. The serene blue sky above, the dazzling brightness of the sun, and the colors from the refraction of its rays on the transparent part of these ridges of ice. The winding course these oblige you to make, the sudden disappearing of a train of 15 or 20 carios as these ridges intervene, which again discover themselves on your rising to the top of the

1:23:08frozen mountain. The tremendous appearance, both of the ascent and descent, which however are not attended with the least danger, all together give a grandior and variety to the scene, which almost rise to enchantment. Your dull foggy climate affords nothing that can give you the least idea of our frost pieces in Canada. Nor can you form any notion of our amusements, of the agreeableness of a covered cario with a sprightly fellow rendered more sprightly by the keen air and romantic scene about him to say nothing of the fair lady at his side. Even an overturning has nothing alarming in it, you are laid gently down on a soft bed of snow without the least danger of any kind, and an accident of this sort only gives a pretty fellow occasion to vary the

1:24:16style of his abilities and show a greater degree of attention. But it is almost time to come to Montgomery. To avoid however fatiguing you or myself, I shall refer the rest of our tour to another letter, which will probably accompany this. My meaning is that two moderate letters are vastly better than one long one, in which sentiment I know you agree with yours a fair more. Retta 81. To Miss Rivers Clarges Street, Syllery February 25, afternoon. So my dear, as I was saying, this same ride to Montmorency, where was I, Lucy? I forget. Oh, I believe pretty near the mouth of the bay, embossomed in which lies a lovely cascade of which I am to give you a winter description. This is Rick Burgess from the Rick Burgess Show.

1:26:20He says Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang. You know when people try a new food and suddenly it's like, wait, that's the reaction. A lot of people are having when they first try QB mayo. It's the one with the red cap and the little baby on the bottle. You've probably seen it in the grocery store before. And if you've ever just walked past it, some people would say that's a huge mistake because this mayo is different. Most mayonnaise uses whole eggs. QB only uses egg yolks, which gives it this rich umami flavor. It's smoother, deeper, and almost buttery. Once people try it, they start putting it on everything. Egg sandwiches, fries, burgers, some fans even swear by dipping pizza crust in it. And once you notice it, you start seeing it everywhere.

And which I only slightly mentioned when I gave you an account of the rivers by which it is supplied. The road about a mile before you reach this bay is a regular glassy level without any of those intervening hills of ice which I have mentioned. Hills which with the ideas, though false ones of danger and difficulty give those of beauty and magnificence too. As you gradually approach the bay you are struck with an awe which increases every moment as you come nearer from the grandior of a

1:28:22scene which is one of the noblest works of nature. The beauty, the proportion, the salinity, the wild magnificence of which surpassing every possible effect of art impress one strongly with the idea of its divine almighty architect. The rock on the east side which is first in view as you approach is a smooth and almost perpendicular precipice of the same height as the fall. The top which a little overhangs is beautifully covered with pines, furs and evergreens of various kinds whose fern luster is rendered at this season more shining and lovely by the surrounding snow as well as by that which is sprinkled irregularly on their branches and glitters half melted in the sunbeams.

1:29:24A thousand smaller shrubs are scattered on the side of the ascent and having their roots in almost imperceptible clefts of the rock seem to those below to grow in air. The west side is equally lofty but more sloping which from that circumstance affords soil all the way upon shelving inequalities of the rock at little distances for the growth of trees and shrubs by which it is almost entirely hid. The most pleasing view of this miracle of nature is certainly in summer and in the early part of it when every tree is in foliage and full verdure, every shrub in flower and when the river swelled with a waste of waters from the mountains from which it derives its source, pours down in a tumultuous torrent that equally charms and astonishes the beholder.

1:30:30The winter scene has notwithstanding its beauties, though of a different kind, more resembling the stillness and inactivity of the season. The river being on its sides bound up in frost and its channel rendered narrower than in the summer affords a less body of water to supply the cascade and the fall, though very steep, yet not being exactly perpendicular, masses of ice are formed on different shelving projections of the rock in a great variety of forms and proportions. The torrent, which before rushed with such impetuosity, down the deep descent in one vast sheet of water, now descends in some parts with a slow and majestic pace. In others seems almost suspended in midair and in others bursting through the obstacles which

1:31:34interrupt its course, pours down with redoubled fury into the foaming basin below, from once a spray arises, which freezing in its ascent becomes on each side a wide and irregular frozen breastwork, and in front the spray being there much greater, a lofty and magnificent pyramid of solid ice. I have not told you half the grandier, half the beauty, half the lovely wildness of this scene. If you would know what it is, you must take no information but that of your own eyes, which I pronounce, strangers to the loveliest work of creation, till they have seen the river and fall of Montmorensey. In short, my dear, I am Montmorensey mad. I can hardly descend to tell you.

1:32:37We passed the ice from dense to Orleans and dine out of doors on six feet of snow, in the charming and livening warmth of the sun, though in the month of February.

It's Gerald made violent love to me all the way, and I never felt myself listen with such complacency. A du- I have written two immense letters. Right off an ear, you are lazy. You expect me to be an

1:35:45absolute slave in the scribbling way. You're faithful, a fair more. Do you know your brother has admirable ideas? He contrived to lose his way on our return and kept Emily 10 minutes behind the rest of the company. I am apt to fancy there was something like a declaration for she blushed, celestial rosy red when he led her into the dining-room at Cillery. Once more, a du- Letta 82. To Miss River's Clarges Street, March 1. I was mistaken, my dear. Not a word of love between your brother and Emily, as she positively assures me. Something very tender has passed. I am convinced notwithstanding for she blushes more than ever when he approaches, and there is a certain

1:36:46softness in his voice when he addresses her, which cannot escape a person of my penetration. Do you know, my dear Lucy, that there is a little, impertinent girl here, a Madame Waselle Clareau, who on the mere merit of features and complexion, sets up for being as handsome as Emily and me? If beauty, as I will take the liberty to assert, is given us for the purpose of pleasing. She, who pleases most, that is to say she, who excites the most passion, is to all intense and purposes the most beautiful woman, and in this case, I am inclined to believe your little bell stands pretty high on the role of beauty. The men's eyes may perhaps say she is handsome,

1:37:46but their hearts feel that I am so. There is, in general, nothing so incipit, so uninteresting as a beauty, which those men experience to their cost, who choose from vanity, not inclination. I remember Sir Charles Herbert, a captain in the same regiment with my father, who determined to marry Miss Raymond before he saw her, merely because he had been told she was a celebrated beauty, though she was never known to have inspired a real passion. He saw her, not with his own eyes, but those of the public, took her charms on trust. And till he was her husband, never found out she was not his taste. A secret, however, of some little importance to his happiness.

1:38:49I have, however, known some beauties who had a right to please, that is, who had a mixture of that invisible charm, that nameless grace, which by no means depends on beauty, and which strikes the heart in a moment. But my first aversion is your fine women. Don't you think of fine woman, a detestable creature Lucy? I do. They are vastly well to fill public places, but as to the heart, heavens my dear, yet there are men, I suppose, to be found, who have a taste for the great sublime in beauty. Men are vastly foolish, my dear, very few of them have spirit to think for themselves. There are a thousand surre Charles Herbert's. I have seen some of them weak enough

1:39:50to decline marrying the woman on earth most pleasing to themselves, because not thought handsome by the generality of their companions. Women are above this folly, and therefore choose much offender from affection than men. We are a thousand times wiser Lucy than these important beings, these myhy lords, who strut and fret their hour upon the stage, and instead of playing the part in life which nature dictates to their reason and their hearts, act a borrowed one at the will of others. I had rather even judge ill than not judge for myself. I do yours ever, a fair more. Letter 83. To Miss Rivers, Largest Street, Quebec, March 4th,

1:40:54after debating with myself some days, I am determined to pursue Emily, but before I make a declaration, we'll go to see some ungranted lands at the back of Madame de Roche's estate, which lying on a very fine river, and so near the St. Lawrence, may I think be cultivated at less expense than those above Lake Champlain, though in a much inferior climate. If I make my settlement here, I will purchase the estate, Madame de Roche has to sell, which will open me a road to the river St. Lawrence, and consequently trouble the value of my lands. I love I do it this charming woman, but I will not suffer my tenderness for her to make her unhappy or to lower her station in life. If I can, by my present plan, secure her what will in this country be a degree of affluence, I will endeavour to

1:41:55change her friendship for me into a tenderer and more lively affection. If she loves, I know by my own heart that Canada will be no longer a place of exile. If I have flattered myself and she has only a friendship for me, I will return immediately to England and retire with you and my mother to our little estate in the country. You will perhaps say why not make Emily of our party. I am almost ashamed to speak plain, but so weak are we and so guided by the prejudices we fancy we despise that I cannot bear my Emily after refusing a coach and six should live without an equipped suitable at least to her birth and the manner in which she has always lived when in England. I know this is Bali, that it is a despicable pride, but it is a Bali pride I cannot conquer. There are moments when I am above all this childish prejudice, but it returns upon me in spite of

1:42:59myself. Will you come to us, my Lucy, tell my mother, I will build her a rustic palace and settle a little principality on you both? I make this a private excursion because I don't choose anybody should even guess at my views. I shall set out in the evening and make a circuit to cross the river above the town. I shall not even take leave at the salary as I propose being back in four days, and I know your friend Bell will be inquisitive about my journey. Adieu, your affectionate Ed Rivers. Letter 84 To Miss Rivers' Clarges Street, Silvery, March 6, your brother is gone, nobody knows with her, and without calling upon us before he set off, we are peaked, I assure you my dear, and with some little reason. 4 o'clock Very strange news, Lucy. They say Colonel Rivers is gone to marry Madame de Roche,

1:44:07a lady at whose house he was sometime in autumn. If this is true, I force where the whole sex, his manner of stealing off is certainly very odd, and she is rich and agreeable, but if he does not love Emily, he has been excessively cruel in showing an attention which has deceived her into a passion for him. I cannot believe it possible. Not that he has ever told her, he loved her, but a man of honor will not tell an untruth even with his eyes, and his have spoke a very unequivocal language. I never saw anything like her confusion when she was told he was gone to visit Madame de Roche, but when it was hinted with what design, I was obliged to take her out of the room, or she would have discovered all the fondness of her soul. I really thought she

1:45:10would have fainted as I led her out. 8 o'clock I have sent away all the men, and drank tea in Emily's apartment. She has scarce spoke to me. I am miserable for her. She has appelleness which alarms me. The tears steal every moment into her lovely eyes. Can Rivers act so unworthy apart? Her tenderness cannot have been unobserved by him. It was too visible to everybody. This is Rick Bird just from the Rick Bird you show. I want to talk to you for a second about something most of us put on autopilot, car insurance.

1:48:21Only a confirmation of his being with Madame D'Arroche, having been seen there by some Canadians who are come up this morning. I am not quite pleased, though I do not believe the report. He might have told us shortly where he was going. I pity Emily beyond words. She says nothing. But there is a dumb eloquence in her countenance, which is not to be described. 12 o'clock. I have been an hour alone with the dear girl, who has, from a hint I dropped on purpose, taken courage to speak to me on this very interesting subject. She says, she shall be most unhappy if this report is true, though without the least right to complain of Colonel Rivers,

1:49:22who never even hinted a word of any affection for her more tender than friendship. That if her vanity, herself love, or her tenderness have deceived her, she ought only to blame herself. 12 o'clock. She added that she wished him to marry Madame D'Arroche, if she could make him happy. But when she said this, an involuntary tear seemed to contradict the generosity of her sentiments. I beg your pardon, my dear, but my esteem for your brother is greatly lessened. I cannot help fearing there is something in the report, and that this is what Mrs. Melmuth meant, when she mentioned his having an attachment. I shall begin to hate the whole sex, Lucy, if I find your brother unworthy, and shall give Fitzgerald his dismission immediately.

1:50:27I am afraid Mrs. Melmuth knows men better than we foolish girls do. She said he attached himself to Emily merely from vanity, and I begin to believe she was right. How cruel is this conduct? The man who, from vanity, or perhaps only to amuse an idle hour, can appear to be attached where he is not, and by that means seduce the heart of a deserving woman, or indeed of any woman, falls in my opinion very little short in baseness of him who practices a greater degree of seduction. What right has he to make the most amiable of women wretched? A woman who would have deserved him had he been monarch of the universal world. I might add who has sacrificed ease and affluence to her tenderness for him.

1:51:29You will excuse my warmth on such an occasion, however as it may give you pain, I will say no more. Adieu, your faithful, A. Fairmore.

1:52:31Emily Montague, read by Emma Hatton narrated by Sonia letter 85 To Miss Rivers, Larger Street, Car Marascus, March 12, I met with something my dear Lucy which has given me infinite uneasiness, but then the roach from my extreme zeal to serve her in an affair wherein she has been hardly used for my second visit and a certain involuntary attention and softness of manner. I have two all women has supposed me in love with her and with a frankness I cannot but admire and a delicacy not to be described has let me know I am far from being indifferent to her. I was at first extremely embarrassed but when I had reflected a moment I considered that the ladies though another may be the object always regard with the kind of complacency a man who loves as one who acknowledges the power of the sex whereas an indifferent

1:53:34is a kind of rebel to their empire. I considered also that the confession of a prior inclination saves the most delicate vanity from being wounded and therefore determined to make her the confidant of my tenderness for Emily leaving her an opening to suppose that if my heart had been disengaged it could not have escaped her attractions. I did this with all possible precaution and with every softening friendship and politeness could suggest she was shocked at my confession but soon recovered herself enough to tell me she was highly flooded by this proof of my confidence and esteemed that she believed me a man who had only the more respect for a woman who by owning her partiality had told me she considered me not only as the most amiable but the most noble of my sex that she had heard no love was so tender as that which was the childhood friendship but that of this she was convinced that no friendship was so tender as that which was the childhood love

1:54:39that she offered me this tender this lively friendship and would for the future find her happiness in the consideration of mine. Do you know my dear that since this confession I feel a kind of tenderness to her to which I cannot give a name it is not love for I love I idolize another but it is softer and more pleasing as well as more animated than friendship you cannot conceive what pleasure I find in her conversation she has an admirable understanding of feeling heart and a mixture of softness and spirit in her manner which is peculiarly pleasing to me. My Emily will love her I must bring them acquainted she promises to come to Quebec in May I shall be happy to show her every attention when there I've seen the land and then please with them I believe this will be my residence if Emily as I cannot avoid hoping will make me happy I shall declare myself as soon as I return but must continue here a few days longer I shall not be less pleased with this situation for it's being so near a damn day rose in whom Emily will find

1:55:45a friend worthy of her esteem and an entertaining lively companion. I do my dear Lucy your affectionate ed rivers I have fixed on the lovely spot on earth on which to build a house for my mother do I not expect too much in fancy she wrote follow me hitherto. Let her 86 to miss Rivo's Clarges Street, Cillary March 13 still with Madame de Roche appearances are rather against him you must own Lucy but I will not say all I think to you poor Emily we dispute continually for she will persist in defending his conduct she says he has a right to marry whoever he pleases that her loving him is no tie upon his honor especially as he does not even know of this preference that she ought only to blame the weakness of her own heart which has betrayed her into a false belief that their

1:56:47tenderness was mutual this is pretty talking but he has done everything to convince her of his feeling the strongest passion for her except making a formal declaration she talks of returning to England the moment the river is open indeed if your brother marries it is the only step left to take I almost wish now she had married Sir George she would have had all the due say of marriage and as to love I begin to think many incapable of feeling it some of them can indeed talk well on the subject but self-interest and vanity are the real passions of their souls I detest the whole sex a due a fair more letter 87 to the Earl of blank silirey march 13th my lord I generally distrust my own opinion when it differs from your

2:39:37necessary my dearest temple that you keep a guard on your heart a custom to liberty to give way to every light impression I need not tell you who have experienced the truth of what I say that happiness is not to be found in a life of intrigue there is no real pleasure in the possession of beauty without the heart with it the fears the anxieties a man not absolutely destitute a humanity must feel for the honor of her who ventures more than life for him must extremely counter balance his transports of all the situations this world affords a marriage of choice gives the fairest prospect of happiness without love life would be a tasteless void an unconnected human being is the most wretched of all creatures by love I would be understood to mean that tender lively

2:40:37friendship that mixed sensation which the liberty never felt and with which I flatter myself my amiable sister cannot fail of inspiring a heart naturally virtuous however at present warped by a foolish compliance with the world I hope my dear temple to see you recover your taste for those pleasures peculiarly fitted to our natures to see you enjoy the pure delights of peaceful domestic life the calm social evening hour the circle of friends the prattling offspring and the tender impassioned smile of real love your generosity is no more than I expected from your character and to convince you of my perfect esteem I so far accepted as to draw out the money I have in the funds which I intended for my sister it will make my settlement here turn to greater advantage and I allow you the pleasure of convincing Lucy of the perfect ascentristedness of your

2:41:43affection it would be a trifle to you and will make me happy but I am more delicate in regard to my mother and will never consent to resume the estate I have settled on her I esteem you above all mankind but will not let her be dependent even on you I consent she visit you as often as she pleases but insist on her continuing her house in town and living in every respect as she has been accustomed as to Lucy's own little fortune as it is not worth your receiving suppose she lays it out in jewels I love to see beauty adorned and two thousand pounds added to what you have given her will settle on a footing in this respect with a nabo best your married my dear temple removes the strongest objection to mine the money I have in the funds which whilst Lucy was unmarried I never would have taken enables me to fix to great advantage here I've now only to try whether

2:42:49Emily's friendship for me is sufficiently strong to give up all hopes of a return to England I shall make an immediate trial you shall know the event in a few days if she refuses me I bid aduse to all my schemes and embark in the first ship give my kindness tendrous wishes to my mother and sister my dear temple only know the value of the treasure you possess and you must be happy at you your affectionate adrivers let her 100 to the Earl of blank silherry march 24 my lord nothing can be more just than your lordship's observation and I am the more pleased with it as it coincides with what I had the honor of saying to you in my last in regard to the impropriety the cruelty I had almost said the injustice of your intention of

2:43:49deserting the world of which you are at once the ornament and the example good people as your lordship observes are generally too retired and abstracted to let their example be of much surface to the world whereas the bad on the contrary are conspicuous to all they stand forth they appear on the foreground of the picture enforce themselves into observation tis to that circumstance I am persuaded we may attribute that dangerous and too common mistake that vices natural to the human heart and virtuous characters the creatures of fancy a mistake of the most fatal tendency it tends to harden our hearts and destroy that mutual confidence so necessary to keep the bands of society from loosening without which man is the most ferocious of all beasts of prey what all those whose virtues like your lordships are adorned

2:44:51by politeness and knowledge of the world mix more in society we should soon see vice hide her head would all the good appear in full view they would I am convinced be found infinitely the majority virtue is too lovely to be hidden cells the world is her scene of action she is soft gentle and indulgent let her appear then in her own form and she must charm let politeness be forever her attendant that politeness which can give grace is even device itself which makes superiority easy removes the sense of inferiority and adds to everyone's enjoyment both of himself and others I'm interrupted must postpone till tomorrow what I have further to say to your lordship I have the honor to be my lord your lordships etc. W.

2:45:52to miss his temple pal mal ciliary march 25 your brother my dear Lucy has made me happy and communicating to me the account he has received of your marriage I know temple he is besides being very handsome a fine sprightly agreeable fellow and is particularly formed to keep a woman's mind in that kind of play that gentle agitation which will forever secure her affection he has in my opinion just as much coca tree as is necessary to prevent marriage from degenerating into that sleepy kind of existence which to minds of the awakened turn of yours and mine would be insupportable he has also a fine fortune which I hold to be a pretty enough ingredient in marriage

2:46:53in short he is just such a man upon the whole as I should have chosen for myself make my congratulations to the dear man and tell him if he is not the happiest man in the world he will forfeit all his pretensions to taste and if he does not make you the happiest woman he forfeits all title to my favor as well as to the favor of the whole sex I meant to say something civil but to tell you the truth I am not on trial I am excessively out of humor Fitzgerald has not been here of several days he spends his whole time in galanting Madame LeBros a woman to whom he knows I have an aversion and who has nothing but a tolerable complexion and a modest assurance to recommend her

2:47:58I certainly gave him some provocation but this is too much however it is very well I don't think I shall break my heart though my vanity is a little peeked I may perhaps live to take my revenge I am hurt because I began really to like the creature a secret however to which he is happily a stranger I shall see him tomorrow at the governors and suppose he will be in his penitentials I have some doubt whether I shall let him dance with me yet it would look so particular to refuse him that I believe I shall do him the honor I do your affectionate athermaw 26th Thursday 11 at 9th no Lucy if I forgive him this I have lost all the free spirit of woman

2:49:00he had the insolence to dance with Madame LeBros tonight at the governors I never will forgive him there are men perhaps quite his equals but his no matter I do him too much honor to be peaked yet on the footing we were I could not have believed I do I was so certain he would have danced with me that I refused colonel H one of the most agreeable men in the place and therefore could not dance at all nothing hurt me so much as the impertinent looks of the women I could cry for vexation when your brother have behaved thus to Emily but why do I name other men with your brother do you know he and Emily had the good nature to refuse to dance that my sitting still might be the less taken notice of we all played at cards and rivers contrived to be of my party by which he

2:50:08would have one Emily's heart if he had not had it before good night let her 102 to Mrs. Temple Paul Mall Quebec March 27 I've been twice at Celery with the intention of declaring my passion and explaining my situation to Emily but have been prevented by a company which made it impossible for me to find the opportunity I wished and I found that opportunity I am not sure I should have made use of it a degree of timidity is inseparable from true tenderness and I'm afraid of declaring myself a lover lest if not beloved I should lose the happiness I at present possess in visiting her as her friend I cannot give up the dear delight I find in seeing her and hearing her voice enthrasing and admiring every sentiment of that lovely unaffected generous mind as it rises

2:51:13in short my Lucy I cannot live without her esteem and friendship and though her eyes her attention to me her all manner encouraged me in the hope of being beloved yet the possibility of my being mistaken makes me dread an explanation by which I hazard losing the lively pleasure I find in her friendship this timidity however must be conquered to is partnerable to feel it but not to give way to it I've ordered my carry-o and I'm determined to make my attack this very morning like a man of courage and a soldier I do you your affectionate Ed Rivers a letter from Bell Farmer to whom I wrote this morning on the subject to Colonel Rivers at Quaypec, Cillary Friday morning you are a foolish creature and no nothing of women dying at Cillary and we will air after dinner to his a glorious day and if you are timid in a covered carry-o I give you up a dew yours a fair more letter 103 to Mrs. Temple

2:56:41i had this morning a short billet from her dear hand in treating me to make up a quarrel between bell firmer and her lover your friend has been in the street her spirit of coca tree is eternally carrying her wrong but in my opinion Fitzgerald has been at least equally to blame his behavior at the governor's on thursday night was inexcusable as it exposed her to the snures of a whole circle ever own sex many of them jealous of her perfections a lover should overlook little caprice's where the heart is viewed an amiable like bells i should think myself particularly obliged to bring this affair to an amicable conclusion even if Emily had not desired it as i was originally the innocent cause of their quarrel in my opinion he ought to beg her pardon and as a friend tenderly interested for both i have a right to tell him i think so he loves her and i and i know must suffer greatly though a foolish pride prevents his acknowledging it my greatest fear is that an idle resentment may engage in and intrigue with the lady in question who is a

2:57:44woman of gallantry at whom he may find very troublesome hereafter it is much easier to commence an affair of this kind than to break it off and a man though his heart was disengaged should be always on his guard against anything like an attachment whereas affections are not really interested mere passion or mere vanity will support an affair on pass on but where the least degree of constancy and attention are expected the heart must feel where the lover is subjecting himself to a slavery as irkson as a marriage without inclination temple will tell you i speak like an oracle friap often seen him led by vanity into this very disagreeable situation i hope i am not too late to save Fitzgerald from it six in the evening all goes well his proud heart has come down he has begged her pardon and is forgiven you have no idea how civil both ought to me for having persuaded them to do what each of them has long to do from the first moment i love to advise when i'm sure the heart of the person advised to zone my side both were to blame but i always love to

2:58:46save the ladies from anything more to find to the dignity of their characters a little pride in love becomes them but not us and as always our part to submit on these occasions and never saw to happier people than they are at present as i have a little preserved decorum on both sides and taken the whole trouble of the reconciliation on myself bell knows nothing am i having applied to Fitzgerald nor he that i did it at emily's request my conversation with him on this subject seemed accidental i was obliged believe him having business in town but my lovely emily thank me by a smile which quit overpay thousands of little services i am to spend tomorrow at salary how long shall i think this evening i do you my tenders wishes attend you all your affectionate ad rivers end of section five section six of the history of amily montagu volume two by france's moorbrook this is a

3:00:54forever i would not have suffered papad to invite him to cilery it was easy to see his neglect was all peak it would have been extraordinary indeed if such a woman as madame labras could have rivaled me i am something younger and if either my glass or the men are to be believed as handsome atra knew there is some little difference if she was not so very fair she would be absolutely ugly and these very fair women you know Lucy are always in sippard she is the taste of no man breathing though eternally making advances to every man without spirit fire understanding vivacity or any quality capable of making amends for the mediocrity of her charms

3:01:58her insolence in attempting to attach Fitzgerald is intolerable especially when the whole province knows him to be my lover there is no expressing to what degree i hate her the next time we meet i hope to return her impertinence on thursday night at the governors i will never forgive Fitzgerald if he takes the least notice of her emily has read my letter and says she did not think i had so much of the woman in me insists on my being civil to met am labras but if i am Lucy these french women are not to be supported they fancy vanity and assurance are to make up for the want of every other virtue forgetting that delicacy softness sensibility tenderness are attractions to which they are strangers

3:03:04some of them here are however tolerably handsome and have a degree of liveliness which makes them not quite insupportable you will call all this spite as emily does so i will say no more only that in order to show her how very easy it is to be civil to arrive i wish for the pleasure of seeing another french lady that i could mention at quibbac good night my dear tell temple i am everything but in love with him your faithful a fair more i will however own i encouraged Fitzgerald by a kind look i was so pleased at his return that i could not keep up the farce of disdain i had projected in love affairs i am afraid we are all fools alike

3:06:19pleasantly enough if any other agreeable man is in the way in short i relish flattery and attention from others though i infinitely prefer them from him i certainly love him for i was jealous of madame labras but in general i am not alarmed when i see him flirt a little with others perhaps my vanity was as much wounded as my love with regard to madame labras i find love is quite a different plant in different soils it is an exotic and grows faintly with us couquets but in its native climate with you people of sensibility and sentiment i do i will attend you in a quarter of an hour yours a fair more let her 108

3:14:48is not vanity the ruling passion of their hearts may not rivers be deceived in supposing her so much attached to him was a not some degree of affectation in her particular attention to me i cannot help thinking her artful perhaps i am prejudiced she may be amiable but i will own she does not please me rivers beg me to have a friendship for her i am afraid this is more than is in my power friendship like love is the child of sympathy not of constraint had you yours Emily Montague letter 111 to miss Montague Monday the enclosed my dear is as much to you as to me perhaps more i pardon the lady for thinking you the handsomest is not this the strongest proof i could give of my friendship perhaps i should have been peaked however had the preference been given by a man but i can with great tranquility allow you to be the women's beauty

3:18:02her attention to me it is not natural she behaved to me not only with politeness but with the appearance of affection she seems to feel and pity my confusion she is either the most artful or the most noble of women how do you your emily let her 114 to miss his temple pal mal ciliary march 29 we are going to dine at a farmhouse in the country where we are to meet other company and have a ball the snow begins a little to soften from the warmth of the sun which is greater than in England in may our winter parties are almost at an end my father drives madame de roche who is of our party and your brother emily i hope the little fool will be easy now Lucy she is very humble to be jealous of one who though really very pleasing is neither so young nor so handsome as herself

3:19:10and who professes to wish only for rivers' friendship but i have no right to say a word on this subject after having been so extremely hurt at Fitzgerald's attention to such a woman as madame LaVros and attention to which was so plainly meant to peek me we are all i am afraid a little absurd in these affairs and therefore ought to have some degree of indulgence for others emily and i however differ in our ideas of love it is the business of her life the amusement of mine tis the food of her hours the seasoning of mine or in other words she loves like a foolish woman i like a sensible man for men you know compared to women love in about the proportion of one

3:20:18to twenty tis a mighty wrong thing after all Lucy that parents will educate creatures so differently who are to live with and for each other every possible means is used even from infancy to soften the minds of women and to harden those of men the contrary endeavor might be of use for the men creatures are unfeeling enough by nature and we are born too tremblingly alive to love and indeed to every soft affection your brother is almost the only one of his sex i know who has the tenderness of woman with the spirit and firmness of man a circumstance which strikes every woman who converses with him and which contributes to make him the favorite he is amongst us

3:21:20foolish women who cannot distinguish characters may possibly give the preference to a coxcom but i will venture to say no woman of sense was ever much acquainted with kernel rivers without feeling for him an affection of some kind or other at propose to women the estimable part of us are divided into two classes only the tender and the lively the former at the head of which i place Emily are infinitely more capable of happiness but to counterbalance this advantage they are also capable of misery in the same degree we of the other class who feel less keenly are perhaps upon the whole as happy at least i would faint think so for example if Emily and i marry our present

3:22:25lovers she will certainly be more exquisitely happy than i shall but if they should change their minds or any accident prevent our coming together i am inclined to fancy my situation would be much the most agreeable i should pout a month and then look about for another lover whilst the tender Emily would sit like patience on a monument and pine herself into a consumption a do they wait for me yours a fair more Tuesday midnight we have had a very agreeable day Lucy a pretty enough kind of a ball and everybody in good humor i danced with Fitzgerald whom i never knew so agreeable happy love is gay i find Emily is all sprightliness your brother's eyes have never left her one moment

3:26:41we sucked with your brother on our return and from his windows which look on the river saint Charles had the pleasure of observing one of the most beautiful objects imaginable which i never remember to have seen before this evening you are to observe the winter method of fishing here is to break openings like small fish ponds on the ice to which the fish coming for air are taken in prodigious quantities on the surface to shelter themselves from the excessive cold of the night the fishermen build small houses of ice on the river which are arranged in a semi-circular form and extend near a quarter of a mile and which from the blazing fires within have a brilliant transparency and vivid lustre not easy either to imagine or to describe the story semi-circle

3:27:47looks any men's crescent of diamonds on which the sun darts his meridian rays absolutely Lucy you see nothing in Europe you are cultivated you have the tame beauties of art but to see nature in her lovely wild luxuriance you must visit your brother when he is prince of the kamarascas a dew your faithful a fair more the variety as well of grand objects as of amusements in this country confirms me in an opinion i have always had that providence had made the conveniences and inconveniences of life nearly equal everywhere we have pleasures here even in winter peculiar to the climate which counterbalance the evils we suffer from its rigor good night my dear

3:29:56describing some lands on lake shampaign which my friend thinks much better worth my taking than those near the kamaroscas he presses me to come up immediately to see them as the ice on the rivers will in a few days be dangerous to travel on i'm strongly inclined to go and for this reason i'm convinced my wish of bringing about a friendship between emily and madem de roche the strongest reason i had for fixing at the kamaroscas was an improved one gratitude and if the expression is not important compassion give me a softness in my behavior to the letter which a superficial observer would take for love and which your own tenderness may cause even her to misconstrue a circumstance which must retard her resolution of changing the affection with which she has honored me into friendship

3:48:57obligation to me for this letter be assured of my tendrous affection and believe me yours etc. Ed rivers letter 117 to the Earl of blank silire apral aeth nothing can be more true my lord than that poverty is ever the inseparable companion of indolence i see proofs of it every moment before me with a soil fruitful beyond all belief the Canadians are poor on lands which are their own property and for which they pay only a trifling quick rent to their sing yours this indolence appears in everything you scare see the meanest peasant walking even riding on horseback appears to them a fatigue and supportable you see them lowly at ease like their lazy lords and carrioles and colascious

3:49:58according to the season a boy to guide the horse on a seat in the front of the carriage too lazy even to take the trouble of driving themselves their hands and winter folded in an immense muff though perhaps their families are in want of bread to eat at home the winter is past in a mixture of hostility and inaction dancing and feasting in their gale hours in their grave smoking and drinking brandy by the side of a warm stove and when obliged to cultivate the ground and spring to procure the means of subsistence you see them just turn the turf once lightly over and without manoeuring the ground or even breaking the clouds of earth throw in the seed in the same careless manner and leave the event to chance without troubling themselves further till it is fit to reap i must however observe as some alleviation that there is something in the climate which strongly inclines both the body and mind but rather the latter to indolence the

3:51:04heat of the summer though pleasing innovates the very soul and gives a certain lassitude unfavorable to industry and the winter at its extreme binds up and chills all the active faculties of the soul add to this that the general spirit of amusement so universal here and winter and so necessary to prevent the ill effects of the season gives a habit of dissipation and pleasure which makes labor doubly irksome at its return the religion at which they are extremely big at it is another great bar as well to industry as population their numerous festivals in northern to itleness their religious houses rob the state of many subjects who might be highly useful at present and at the same time retard the increase of the colony slaw of and superstition equally counter work providence and render the bounty of heaven of no effect

3:52:07i'm surprised the French who generally make their religions subservient to the purposes of policy do not discourage contents and lessen the number of festivals in the colonies where both are so peculiarly pernicious it is to this circumstance one may in great measure attribute the superior increase of the british american settlements compared to those of France a religion which encourages itleness and makes a virtue of celibacy is particularly unfavorable to colonization however religious prejudice may have been suffered to counter work policy under a French government it is scarce to be doubted that this cause of the poverty of canada will by degrees be removed that these people slaves at present to ignorance and superstition will at time be enlightened by a more liberal education and gently led by reason to a religion which is not only preferable

3:53:07as being that of the country to which they are now annexed but which is so much more calculated to make them happy and prosperous as a people till that time till their prejudices subside it is equally just humane and wise to leave them the free right of worshipping the deity in the manner in which they had been early taught to believe the best and to which they are consequently attached it would be unjust to deprive them of any of the rights of citizens on account of religion in America where every other sect of dissenters are equally capable of employ with those of the established church may wear from whatever cause the church of England is on a footing in many colonies little better than a toleration it is undoubtedly in a political light an object of consequence everywhere that the national religion whatever it is should be as universal as possible agreement in religious worship being the strongest tied to unity and obedience had all prudent

3:54:14means been used to lessen the number of dissenters in the colonies I cannot avoid believing for what I observed in here that we should have found in them a spirit of rational loyalty and true freedom instead of that fact shoot one from which so much is to be apprehended it seems consonant to reason that the religion of every country should have a relation to and coherence with the civil constitution the Romish religion is best adapted to a despotic government the Presbyterian to a republican in that of the Church of England to a limited monarchy like ours as therefore the civil government of America is on the same plan with that of the mother country it were to be wished the religious establishment was also the same especially in those colonies where the people are generally of the national church though with the fullest liberty of conscience to dissenters of

3:55:15all denominations I would be clearly understood my Lord from all I have observed here I am convinced nothing would so much contribute to diffuse a spirit of order in rational obedience in the colonies as the appointment under proper restrictions of bishops I'm equally convinced that nothing would so much strengthen the hands of government or give such pleasure to the well affected in the colonies who are by much the most numerous as such an appointment however clamored against by a few betters of sedition I'm called upon for this letter and must remit to another time what I wish to say more to your lordship in regard to this country I have the honor to be my lord etc this is rig bird just from the rig bird you show I want to talk to you for a second about something most of us put on autopilot car insurance if you're just letting your policy auto renew year after year without shopping around I'm telling you you are probably throwing money away race change all the time and

4:06:59with us and after dinner desire to converse with me and i word my apartment where she opened to me all her heart on the subject of her love for rivers she is the most noble and most amiable of woman and i have been in regard to her the most capricious and unjust my hatred of her was unworthy my character i blushed to own the meanness of my sentiments willst i admire the degenerosity of hers why my dear should i have hated her she was unhappy and deserved rather my compassion i have deprived her of all hope of being beloved it was too much to wish to deprive her also of his conversation i knew myself the only object of rivers love why then should i have envied her of his friendship she had the strongest reason to hate me but i should have loved and pitted her can there be a misfortune equal to that of loving rivers without hope of a return yet she has not only borne this misfortune without complaint but has been the confident of his passion for another he owned to her all his tenderness for me and drew a picture of me which

4:08:03she had told me ought had she listened to reason to have destroyed even the shadow of hope but that love ever ready to flatter and deceive have betrayed her into the weakness of supposing it possible i might refuse him and that gratitude might in that case touch his heart with tenderness for one who loved him with the most pure and disinterested affection that her journey to Quebec had removed the veil love had placed between her and truth that she was now convinced the faint hope she had encouraged was madness and that our souls were formed for each other she owned she still loved him with the most lively affection yet assured me since she was not allowed to make the most amiable of mankind happy herself she wished him to be so with the woman on earth she thought was most worthy of him she added that she hadn't forsaken me though she thought me very worthy of his heart felt an impulse of dislike which she was ashamed to own even now that reason and reflection had conquered so unworthy a sentiment that river's completions had a little dissipated her shargan and enabled her to behave to me in the manner she did

4:09:08that she had however almost hated me at the ball in the country that the tenderness and river's eyes that day whenever they met mine and his comparative inattention to her had wounded her to the soul that this preference had however been saluted cherry though painful since it had determined her to conquer a passion which could only make her life wretched if continued that as the first step to this conquest she had resolved to see him no more that she would return to her house the moment she could cross the river with safety and conjure me for her sake to persuade him to give up all thought of his settlement near her that she could not answer for her own heart if she continued to see him that she believed in love there was no safety but in flight that his absence had given her time to think coolly and that she now saw so strongly the amiableness of my character and was so convinced of my perfect tenderness for him that she should hate herself where she capable of wishing to interrupt our happiness that she hoped I would pardon her retaining a tender remembrance of a man who had

4:10:09he never seen me might have returned to her affection that she thought so highly of my heart as to believe I could not hate a woman who esteemed me and who solicited my friendship though a happy rival I was touched even to tears at her behavior we embraced and if I know my own weak foolish heart I love her she talks of leaving Quebec before rivers return she said her coming was an imprudence which only love could excuse and that she had no motive for her journey but the desire of seeing him which was so lively as to hurry her into an indiscretion of which she was afraid the world took but too much notice what openness what sincerity what generosity was there and all she said I superior my dear is her character to mine I blush for myself on the comparison I am shocked to see how much she soars above me how is it possible river should not have preferred her to me yet this is the woman I fancied incapable of any passion but vanity I'm sure my dear bell I'm not naturally envious of the merit of others but my excessive love for rivers makes me apprehensive

4:11:14of every woman who can possibly rival me in his tenderness I was heard at Madame Des Roches' uncommon merit I saw with pain the amiable qualities of her mind I could scarce even allow her person to be pleasing but this injustice is not that of my natural temper but of love she is certainly right my dear to see him no more I applaud I admire her resolution do you think however she would pursue it if she loved as I do she has perhaps loved before and her heart has lost something of its native trembling sensibility I wish my heart felt her merit as strongly as my reason I esteem I admire I even love her at present but I am convinced rivers return while she continues here would weaken these sentiments of affection the least appearance of preference even for a moment would make me relapse into my former weakness I adore I idolise her character but I cannot sincerely wish to cultivate her friendship let me see you this afternoon
