summary:
  But when mind has given dignity to natural affections; when reason, culture, taste, and delicacy, have combined to chasten, to refine, to exalt (shall I say) to sanctity them--Is there, then, no cause to complain of rigor and severity, that such minds must either passively submit to a vile traffic, or be content to relinquish all the endearing sympathies of life? In delineating the character of Emma Courtney, I had not in view these fantastic models: I meant to represent her, as a human being, loving virtue while enslaved by passion, liable to the mistakes and weaknesses of our fragile nature.--Let those readers, who feel inclined to judge with severity the extravagance and eccentricity of her conduct, look into their own hearts; and should they there find no record, traced by an accusing spirit, to soften the asperity of their censures--yet, let them bear in mind, that the errors of my heroine were the offspring of sensibility; and that the result of her hazardous experiment is calculated to operate as a _warning_, rather than as an example.--The philosopher--who is not ignorant, that light and shade are more powerfully contrasted in minds rising above the common level; that, as rank weeks take strong root in a fertile soil, vigorous powers not unfrequently produce fatal mistakes and pernicious exertions; that character is the produce of a lively and constant affection--may, possibly, discover in these Memoirs traces of reflection, and of some attention to the phænomena of the human mind.

  First, how Miss Valmont could have arrived at the knowledge of her fortune?--Secondly, how Mr. Valmont could know I had been in the castle?--Lastly, and of most importance, whether all circumstances duly considered it would be proper that I or my father should challenge Mr. Valmont? The prevaricating confusion of some of the servants made Mr. Valmont suspect them of being bribed to admit a stranger; but the butler, being _quite positive no one living soul more than he knows of_ has been within the walls, he and others think Miss Valmont has seen the spirit again and is disordered in her intellects.

  The box was sent away, and Christie went on with her work, but that little task performed together seemed to have made them friends; and, while David tied up several grand bouquets at the same table, they talked as if the strangeness was fast melting away from their short acquaintance. Armed with this resolution, Christie went the next day to Mr. Power, and simply said: I am not needed at the Sterlings any more: can you give me other work to do? Mr. Power's keen eye searched her face for a moment, as if to discover the real motive for her wish.
