I am kindly received by my mother and Mr. Mason

Chapter

ABSTRACT

I met with a most cordial reception from my mother, and also from Mr. Mason. The latter had completely conquered all those prejudices, which he had once conceived against me, and though I gave him no over flourishing account of the success of my expedition, he remarked, ‘so I had returned safe and sound, he had no doubt all would be well, for I, like a cat, always managed, some how or other to fall on my legs.’

I am kindly received by my mother and Mr. Mason – My mother complains of my father-in-law as being false, and proves herself, a true wife – My circumstances being reduced, a respectable practitioner, recommends to my adoption some of the usual modes of getting forward in the world.
