It is cruel for you to leave your daughter, so full of hope and resolve, to suffer the humiliations of disfranchisement she alread...y feels so keenly, and which she will find more and more galling as she grows into the stronger and grander woman she is sure to be.

I have just returned from home where I spent the holidays frolicking with the girls and laughing almost constantly either at my ow...n folly or that of others. Like most youngsters whose time has been spent at school where we have little society of any kind, and none of the ladies, I am quite bashful when in company, and of course very awkward. This, instead of causing me mortification, affords me an infinite deal of amusement. I know my deficiency and, instead of lamenting over it, I make it a subject of sport both for myself and others who observe it. In this way I avoid all of those painful feelings which torture "the bashful man," and while counterfeiting an indifference to the opinions of others which I do not feel, I often find that I have overcome the embarrassment which at first oppressed me.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
