[Enter the DUKE, AEGEON, GAOLER, OFFICERS, and other ATTENDANTS.
I here present you, courteous reader, with the record of a remarkable period in my life: according to my application of it,I trust that it will prove not merely an interesting record, but in a considerable degree useful and instructive. In THAT hope it is thatI have...
This collection of scattered thoughts and observations has little order or continuity; it was begun to give pleasure to a good mother who thinks for herself. My first idea was to write a tract a few pages long, but I was carried away by my subject, and before I knew...
Lizzie, who happened to be the Salisbury's one servant at the time, was wasteful. It was almost her only fault, in Mrs. Salisbury's eyes, for such trifles as her habit of becoming excited and saucy, in moments of domestic stress, or to ask boldly for other holidays than...
