You made me very low-spirited last night, by your manner of talking.—You
are my only friend—the only person I am _intimate_ with.—I never had a
father, or a brother—you have been both to me, ever since I knew you—yet
I have sometimes been very petulant.—I have been thinking of those
instances of ill humour and quickness, and they appeared like crimes.
Yours sincerely
MARY.
