And now, Caroline dear, I must conclude, and next week, when we meet in London, I hope we shall clasp hands in mutual contentment. AND NOW CAROLINE DEAR I MUST CONCLUDE AND NEXT WEEK WHEN WE MEET IN LONDON I HOPE WE SHALL CLASP HANDS IN MUTUAL CONTENTMENT
at laws are made, man will still be the master, through physical force. And oh! it would be perfectly frightful, 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 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. AST STAND NO MATTER WHAT LAWS ARE MADE MAN WILL STILL BE THE MASTER THROUGH PHYSICAL FORCE AND OH IT WOULD BE PERFECTLY FRIGHTFUL 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
