For myself, I own with humble thankfulness the vastness of the blessings I enjoy; and though I cannot repent that I married the husband of my own choice, I confess I have never been so truly happy as with the husband of my mother's:--for though I feel that it is often delightful to forgive a husband's errors, she, and she alone, is truly to be envied, whose husband has no errors to forgive. THE END. TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE Missing punctuation has been added and superfluous punctuation removed (most frequently quotation marks). Period spellings have been retained, although a number of obvious typographical errors were corrected. Hyphenation is inconsistent throughout and a number of words occur in various spellings. The name of one historical figure appears both as Hebert and as Herbert in the original, and has been changed to Hébert. Otherwise, no corrections have been made to the French. The following additional changes were made to the text; in each case, the original is followed by the corrected version: I went to down dinner I went down to dinner We were asked to stay dinner We were asked to stay to dinner and as i If addressed an inferior and as if I addressed an inferior a mono-drame, a a ballet of action a mono-drame, a ballet of action the impractible Lord Charles the impracticable Lord Charles (NB impracticable here has its old meaning of unmanageable) were a tearful one fails where a tearful one fails as little attention as as I can as little attention as I can One passage had a line of text out of sequence. The original reads: returned in much agitation from his walk, but I experienced at sight of Pendarves; and on inquiry saw it was of an opposite nature to that which he I found that he had, as he said, met that good young man, Count De Walden. The corrected version runs: returned in much agitation from his walk, but I saw it was of an opposite nature to that which he experienced at sight of Pendarves; and on inquiry I found that he had, as he said, met that good young man, Count De Walden.
