Ebenezer, I come to say farewell forever! It matters little to you--very little--another idol has displaced me, and if I can cheer and comfort you in time to come, as I would have tried to do, I have no just cause to grieve. (SCR: What idol has displaced you?) A golden one--the master passion. Gain alone engrosses you. (SCR: I have not changed towards you.) Our contract is an old one--it was made when we were both poor. You are changed--I am not. That which promised happiness when we were one in heart, is fraught with misery now we are two. How often and how keenly I have thought of this I will not say. I have thought of it, and can release you.
