Little
alteration
,
except
the
growth
of
our
dear
children
,
has
taken
place
since
you
left
us
.
The
blue
lake
and
snow-clad
mountains
--
they
never
change
;
and
I
think
our
placid
home
and
our
contented
hearts
are
regulated
by
the
same
immutable
laws
.
My
trifling
occupations
take
up
my
time
and
amuse
me
,
and
I
am
rewarded
for
any
exertions
by
seeing
none
but
happy
,
kind
faces
around
me
.
Since
you
left
us
,
but
one
change
has
taken
place
in
our
little
household
.
Do
you
remember
on
what
occasion
Justine
Moritz
entered
our
family
?
Probably
you
do
not
;
I
will
relate
her
history
,
therefore
in
a
few
words
.
Madame
Moritz
,
her
mother
,
was
a
widow
with
four
children
,
of
whom
Justine
was
the
third
.
This
girl
had
always
been
the
favourite
of
her
father
,
but
through
a
strange
perversity
,
her
mother
could
not
endure
her
,
and
after
the
death
of
M.
Moritz
,
treated
her
very
ill
.
My
aunt
observed
this
,
and
when
Justine
was
twelve
years
of
age
,
prevailed
on
her
mother
to
allow
her
to
live
at
our
house
.
The
republican
institutions
of
our
country
have
produced
simpler
and
happier
manners
than
those
which
prevail
in
the
great
monarchies
that
surround
it
.
Hence
there
is
less
distinction
between
the
several
classes
of
its
inhabitants
;
and
the
lower
orders
,
being
neither
so
poor
nor
so
despised
,
their
manners
are
more
refined
and
moral
.
A
servant
in
Geneva
does
not
mean
the
same
thing
as
a
servant
in
France
and
England
.
Justine
,
thus
received
in
our
family
,
learned
the
duties
of
a
servant
,
a
condition
which
,
in
our
fortunate
country
,
does
not
include
the
idea
of
ignorance
and
a
sacrifice
of
the
dignity
of
a
human
being
.
"
Justine
,
you
may
remember
,
was
a
great
favourite
of
yours
;
and
I
recollect
you
once
remarked
that
if
you
were
in
an
ill
humour
,
one
glance
from
Justine
could
dissipate
it
,
for
the
same
reason
that
Ariosto
gives
concerning
the
beauty
of
Angelica
--
she
looked
so
frank-hearted
and
happy
.
My
aunt
conceived
a
great
attachment
for
her
,
by
which
she
was
induced
to
give
her
an
education
superior
to
that
which
she
had
at
first
intended
.
This
benefit
was
fully
repaid
;
Justine
was
the
most
grateful
little
creature
in
the
world
:
I
do
not
mean
that
she
made
any
professions
I
never
heard
one
pass
her
lips
,
but
you
could
see
by
her
eyes
that
she
almost
adored
her
protectress
.
Although
her
disposition
was
gay
and
in
many
respects
inconsiderate
,
yet
she
paid
the
greatest
attention
to
every
gesture
of
my
aunt
.
She
thought
her
the
model
of
all
excellence
and
endeavoured
to
imitate
her
phraseology
and
manners
,
so
that
even
now
she
often
reminds
me
of
her
.
"
When
my
dearest
aunt
died
every
one
was
too
much
occupied
in
their
own
grief
to
notice
poor
Justine
,
who
had
attended
her
during
her
illness
with
the
most
anxious
affection
.
Poor
Justine
was
very
ill
;
but
other
trials
were
reserved
for
her
.
"
One
by
one
,
her
brothers
and
sister
died
;
and
her
mother
,
with
the
exception
of
her
neglected
daughter
,
was
left
childless
.
The
conscience
of
the
woman
was
troubled
;
she
began
to
think
that
the
deaths
of
her
favourites
was
a
judgement
from
heaven
to
chastise
her
partiality
.
She
was
a
Roman
Catholic
;
and
I
believe
her
confessor
confirmed
the
idea
which
she
had
conceived
.
Accordingly
,
a
few
months
after
your
departure
for
Ingolstadt
,
Justine
was
called
home
by
her
repentant
mother
.
Poor
girl
!
She
wept
when
she
quitted
our
house
;
she
was
much
altered
since
the
death
of
my
aunt
;
grief
had
given
softness
and
a
winning
mildness
to
her
manners
,
which
had
before
been
remarkable
for
vivacity
.
Nor
was
her
residence
at
her
mother
's
house
of
a
nature
to
restore
her
gaiety
.
The
poor
woman
was
very
vacillating
in
her
repentance
.
She
sometimes
begged
Justine
to
forgive
her
unkindness
,
but
much
oftener
accused
her
of
having
caused
the
deaths
of
her
brothers
and
sister
.
Perpetual
fretting
at
length
threw
Madame
Moritz
into
a
decline
,
which
at
first
increased
her
irritability
,
but
she
is
now
at
peace
for
ever
.
She
died
on
the
first
approach
of
cold
weather
,
at
the
beginning
of
this
last
winter
.
Justine
has
just
returned
to
us
;
and
I
assure
you
I
love
her
tenderly
.
She
is
very
clever
and
gentle
,
and
extremely
pretty
;
as
I
mentioned
before
,
her
mein
and
her
expression
continually
remind
me
of
my
dear
aunt
.
"
I
must
say
also
a
few
words
to
you
,
my
dear
cousin
,
of
little
darling
William
.
I
wish
you
could
see
him
;
he
is
very
tall
of
his
age
,
with
sweet
laughing
blue
eyes
,
dark
eyelashes
,
and
curling
hair
.
When
he
smiles
,
two
little
dimples
appear
on
each
cheek
,
which
are
rosy
with
health
.
He
has
already
had
one
or
two
little
WIVES
,
but
Louisa
Biron
is
his
favourite
,
a
pretty
little
girl
of
five
years
of
age
.
"
Now
,
dear
Victor
,
I
dare
say
you
wish
to
be
indulged
in
a
little
gossip
concerning
the
good
people
of
Geneva
.
The
pretty
Miss
Mansfield
has
already
received
the
congratulatory
visits
on
her
approaching
marriage
with
a
young
Englishman
,
John
Melbourne
,
Esq.
.
Her
ugly
sister
,
Manon
,
married
M.
Duvillard
,
the
rich
banker
,
last
autumn
.
Your
favourite
schoolfellow
,
Louis
Manoir
,
has
suffered
several
misfortunes
since
the
departure
of
Clerval
from
Geneva
.
But
he
has
already
recovered
his
spirits
,
and
is
reported
to
be
on
the
point
of
marrying
a
lively
pretty
Frenchwoman
,
Madame
Tavernier
.
She
is
a
widow
,
and
much
older
than
Manoir
;
but
she
is
very
much
admired
,
and
a
favourite
with
everybody
.
"
I
have
written
myself
into
better
spirits
,
dear
cousin
;
but
my
anxiety
returns
upon
me
as
I
conclude
.
Write
,
dearest
Victor
--
one
line
--
one
word
will
be
a
blessing
to
us
.
Ten
thousand
thanks
to
Henry
for
his
kindness
,
his
affection
,
and
his
many
letters
;
we
are
sincerely
grateful
.
Adieu
!
my
cousin
;
take
care
of
your
self
;
and
,
I
entreat
you
,
write
!
Elizabeth
Lavenza
