In Their Own Words
"At length the day is come on which I am to flirt my last with Tom Lefroy, and when you receive this it will be over. My tears flow as I write at the melancholy idea."
"Here I am once more in this scene of dissipation and vice, and I begin already to find my morals corrupted."
"I am very much disposed to like our new maid; she knows nothing of a dairy, to be sure, which, in our family, is rather against her, but she is to be taught it all."
