Think of my position one day in this house! Particulars when I embrace you.
I dare not trust a letter here.

If Evan had confided in me! He is impenetrable.

He will be low all his life, and I refuse any more to sully myself in attempting to lift him.

For Silva's sake I must positively break the connection.

Heaven knows what I have done for this boy, and will support me in the feeling that I have done enough.
