ABSTRACT
With a feeling of dignity and independence which had forsaken me in my more splendid abode, I took possession of an apartment contrived to serve the double purposes of parlour and bed-chamber. ‘I have done right,’ thought I, ‘whatever be the consequences; and these are in the hands of One who has given me the strongest pledge that he will overrule them for my advantage.’ Yet, alas for my folly! I was almost the next moment visited by the fear, that the advantage might not be palpable to present observation, and that it might belong more to my improvement than to my convenience.
