I know that Mr. Torrens' occupations take him much from home; and thus you cannot always enjoy the presence and the consolations of your excellent father, whom, I regret to say, I only as yet know by good report, but whose hand I hope to press some day in friendship. I KNOW THAT MISTER TORRANCE'S OCCUPATIONS TAKE HIM MUCH FROM HOME AND THUS YOU CANNOT ALWAYS ENJOY THE PRESENCE AND THE CONSOLATIONS OF YOUR EXCELLENT FATHER WHOM I REGRET TO SAY I ONLY AS YET KNOW BY GOOD REPORT BUT WHOSE HAND I HOPE TO PRESS SOME DAY IN FRIENDSHIP
ed. For myself, I can safely declare that if it were not for the consolations which the Holy Bible imparts to all who study its divine doctrines, and for the solace afforded me by a few kind friends (amongst whom I must include that most choice vessel of the Lord, Sir Henry Courtenay), I know not how I should bear up against the grievous pains wherewith it has pleased the Most High to afflict me, and which have just passed from the right foot into the left. Doubtless it is for my eternal welfare, in a better world, that I am thus chastened in this; although Dr. Wagtail, with a levity unbecoming a professional man of his age and standing, declares that if I keep my feet well swathed in flannel and take mustard baths on going to bed, I shall triumph over the ailment. But, oh! my dearest young friend, what is flannel without the blessing of heaven? what is mustard without the aid of the Most High? I am very lonely, sweet Rosamond; and I am fearful that you must miss your dear sister much. ITH WHICH THEY ARE BOTH IMBUED FOR MYSELF I CAN SAFELY DECLARE THAT IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE CONSOLATIONS WHICH THE HOLY BIBLE IMPARTS TO ALL WHO STUDY ITS DIVINE DOCTRINES AND FOR THE SOLACE AFFORDED ME BY FEW KIND FRIENDS AMONGST WHOM I MUST INCLUDE THAT MOST CHOICE VESSEL OF THE LORD SIR HENRY COURTENAY I KNOW NOT HOW I SHOULD BEAR UP AGAINST THE GRIEVOUS PAINS WHEREWITH IT HAS PLEASED THE MOST HIGH TO AFFLICT ME AND WHICH HAVE JUST PASSED FROM THE RIGHT FOOT INTO THE LEFT DOUBTLESS IT IS MORE MY ETERNAL WELFARE IN A BETTER WORLD THAT I AM THUS CHASTENED IN THIS ALTHOUGH DOCTOR WAGTAIL WITH A LEVITY UNBECOMING A PROFESSIONAL MAN OF HIS AGE AND STANDING DECLARES THAT IF I KEEP MY FEET WELL SWATHED IN FLANNEL AND TAKE MUSTARD BATHS ON GOING TO BED I SHALL TRIUMPH OVER THE ELEMENT BUT OH MY DEAREST FRIEND WHAT IS FLANNEL WITHOUT THE BLESSING OF HEAVEN WHAT IS MUSTARD WITHOUT THE AID OF THE MOST HIGH I AM VERY LONELY SWEET ROSAMOND AND I AM FEARFUL THAT YOU MUST MISS YOUR DEAR SISTER MUCH
