Remember that, if you have married a man poorer than yourself, you did it deliberately and because you were convinced at the time that what he had to offer you in exchange was worth while accepting. REMEMBER THAT IF YOU HAVE MARRIED A MAN POORER THAN YOURSELF YOU DID IT DELIBERATELY AND BECAUSE YOU WERE CONVINCED AT THE TIME THAT WHAT HE HAD TO OFFER YOU IN EXCHANGE WAS WORTH WHILE ACCEPTING
 desired guest at all the best houses. My aim for you, Caroline, is that you should come out this May with every chance to have a glorious springtime of life, and then marry the nicest young man, and live as happily as is possible ever afterwards. But you must not start with impossible illusions. Men are not angels, but spoilt, attractive darlings! And very few come anywhere near the heroes of romance. If you fall in love with one who may be of good family and position but is much less rich than yourself, Caroline, do not, when you are married, ever under any circumstances taunt him with the fact, as, I am sorry to say, some of the rich American women who have married Englishmen have done. Never insinuate or infer that the money is yours, and therefore you are mistress of the situation. The man, although he may forgive you, will never recover from the sting and the humiliation, and you will have created a canker in his feelings for you which nothing you can ever afterward do will heal.  FOR YOURSELF AND BE THE DESIRED GUEST AT ALL THE BEST HOUSES MY AIM FOR YOU CAROLINE IS THAT YOU SHOULD COME OUT THIS MAY WITH EVERY CHANCE TO HAVE A GLORIOUS SPRINGTIME OF LIFE AND THEN MARRY THE NICEST YOUNG MAN AND LIVE AS HAPPILY AS IS POSSIBLE EVER AFTERWARDS BUT YOU MUST NOT START WITH IMPOSSIBLE ILLUSIONS MEN ARE NOT ANGELS BUT SPOILED ATTRACTIVE DARLINGS AND VERY FEW COME ANYWHERE NEAR THE HEROES OF ROMANCE IF YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH ONE WHO MAY BE OF GOOD FAMILY AND POSITION BUT IS MUCH LESS RICH THAN YOURSELF CAROLINE DO NOT WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES TAUNT HIM WITH THE FACT AS I AM SORRY TO SAY SOME OF THE RICH AMERICAN WOMEN WHO HAVE MARRIED ENGLISHMEN HAVE DONE NEVER INSINUATE OR INFER THAT THE MONEY IS YOURS AND THEREFORE YOU ARE MISTRESS OF THE SITUATION THE MAN ALTHOUGH HE MAY FORGIVE YOU WILL NEVER RECOVER FROM THE STING AND THE HUMILIATION AND YOU WILL HAVE CREATED A CANKER IN HIS FEELINGS FOR YOU WHICH NOTHING YOU CAN EVER AFTERWARD DO WILL HEAL
