The idea of wealth has been familiarised to me from my cradle.

I have been taught to look upon those means, by which men raise themselves to riches and distinction, as being beyond my heeding, and beneath my care.

I have been, as the phrase is, liberally educated, and am fit for nothing.

I find myself at last wholly dependent upon you, with no resource but in your favour.

In this momentous question of my life we do not, and it would seem we never can, agree.
