If I were not afraid of judging harshly, I should be almost tempted to say that there is a strong appearance of duplicity in all this. But I will endeavour to banish every painful thought, and think only of what will make me happy--your affection, and the invariable kindness of my dear uncle and aunt.
Mais je vais essayer de chasser ces pensées pénibles pour me souvenir seulement de ce qui peut me rendre heureuse : votre affection, par exemple, et l’inépuisable bonté de mon oncle et de ma tante.
