Your affectionate Godmother, E. YOUR AFFECTIONATE GODMOTHER E
line, dear? if we got back to a state where men were obliged to club us to get their own way! I am talking of this because I have often in these letters urged you to acquire prestige through individuality, so I must explain, that you may not misunderstand me. The thing I have been suggesting for you is social, the individuality which exquisite manners and courtesy and understanding can alone graft upon your natural talents and careful education. Any other sort in a young girl turns to eccentricity. And if when I see you I perceive that, though sweet and well educated, you are still of a commonplace turn of mind, I shall desist from teaching you to be a personage, but encourage you to take sensible pleasure in the things suitable to your brain capacity; and so you will become a happy little wife and a valuable atom of the community of England’s best society. And now, Caroline dear, I must conclude, and next week, when we meet in London, I hope we shall clasp hands in mutual contentment. TFUL WOULD IT NOT CAROLINE DEAR IF WE GOT BACK TO A STATE WHERE MEN WERE OBLIGED TO CLUB US TO GET THEIR OWN WAY I AM TALKING OF THIS BECAUSE I HAVE OFTEN IN THESE LETTERS URGED YOU TO ACQUIRE PRESTIGE THROUGH INDIVIDUALITY SO I MUST EXPLAIN THAT YOU MAY NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME THE THING I HAVE BEEN SUGGESTING FOR YOU IS SOCIAL THE INDIVIDUALITY WHICH EXQUISITE MANNERS AND COURTESY AND UNDERSTANDING CAN ALONE GRAFT UPON YOUR NATURAL TALENTS AND CAREFUL EDUCATION ANY OTHER SORT IN A YOUNG GIRL TURNS TO ECCENTRICITY AND IF WHEN I SEE YOU I PERCEIVE THAT THOUGH SWEET AND WELL EDUCATED YOU ARE STILL OF A COMMONPLACE TURN OF MIND I SHALL DESIST FROM TEACHING YOU TO BE A PERSONAGE BUT ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE SENSIBLE PLEASURE IN THE THING SUITABLE TO YOUR BRAIN CAPACITY AND SO YOU WILL BECOME A HAPPY LITTLE WIFE AND A VALUABLE ATOM OF THE COMMUNITY OF ENGLAND'S BEST SOCIETY AND NOW CAROLINE DEAR I MUST CONCLUDE AND NEXT WEEK WHEN WE MEET IN LONDON I HOPE WE SHALL CLASP HANDS IN MUTUAL CONTENTMENT
