But it is very foolish and not in our scheme to secure for you prestige and a brilliant future, my child, so I shall be quite ruthless in what I am going to say. BUT IT IS VERY FOOLISH AND NOT IN OUR SCHEME TO SECURE FOR YOU PRESTIGE AND A BRILLIANT FUTURE MY CHILD SO I SHALL BE QUITE RUTHLESS IN WHAT I AM GOING TO SAY
at I feel that now, while you will still listen to me, is my only chance to impress its importance upon you--because the lighter things are for such a little time, and marriage is for so many years! But in my next and last letter before I shall see you, I will revert to the ways of girls, to give you your last polish before you make your curtsey to the King and Queen in May. So now I will say good-night, child. Your affectionate Godmother, E. G. VI APRIL, 1913. As this is the last letter I shall write to you before we meet, Caroline, I shall have to collect all the little things I want to say to you which are much easier to write than to express personally. And so, first, I shall begin by suggesting what you had better avoid. The whole tendency (as I think I said in a former letter) of modern society is toward rowdiness and vulgarity, and if one is very young and full of spirits it is so easy to be led away into indiscretions when one sees most of one’s companions doing the same thing.
