ABSTRACT
I deserved it all, by my imprudence, by my shameful duplicity, and violation of the rst duty of woman.
‘I dare not complain of the hardness of my fate – it was incurred by my own folly, vanity, and credulity! What can be too great a punishment for her who by her vices destroyed the parent who fondly loved, and placed his whole happiness in her keeping; who knew no joy, if she was not a partaker in it, and no misery, if she was but prevented from sharing it?
