My Lord Berkeley is dead--let him stay so.

Died creditably, too; that will make the calamity the easier for my father.
And I don't have to report to the American Claimant, now.

Yes, nothing could be better than the way matters have turned out.

I have only to furnish myself with a new name, and take my new start in life totally untrammeled.

Now I breathe my first breath of real freedom; and how fresh and breezy and inspiring it is! At last I am a man! a man on equal terms with my neighbor; and by my manhood; and by it alone, I shall rise and be seen of the world, or I shall sink from sight and deserve it.
This is the gladdest day, and the proudest, that ever poured it's sun upon my head!".
