Now you're right; I may as well be candid and tell you so. (SIR W: Jilted, or rejected, or----) Shortly after you left me at college, I formed an attachment to a young girl that I idolized with all the enthusiasm of youth. (SIR W: Aye, aye; we generally begin that way.) My passion was returned with equal fervor; when it became necessary that I should select my position in life. My friends suggested the army, and my inclination led me to adopt their views. Ireland soon became my destination--a constant correspondence with the object of my passion was my only solace in exile, and for months I almost daily opened a letter written by her dear hand.
