with adding; that I shall never forget that glorious summer evening; and 

always remember with delight that steep hill; and the edge of the precipice 

where   we   stood   together;   watching   the   splendid   sunset   mirrored   in   the 

restless   world   of   waters   at   our   feet   …   with   hearts   filled   with   gratitude   to 

heaven; and happiness; and love … almost too full for speech。 

     A few weeks after that; when my mother had supplied herself with an 

assistant;   I   became   the   wife   of   Edward   Weston;   and   never   have   found 

cause to repent it; and am certain that I never shall。               We have had trials; 

and   we   know   that   we   must   have   them   again;   but   we   bear   them   well 

together;   and   endeavour   to   fortify   ourselves   and   each   other   against   the 

final separation … that greatest of all afflictions to the survivor。             But; if we 

keep in mind the glorious heaven beyond; where both may meet again; and 

sin and sorrow are unknown; surely that too may be borne; and; meantime; 

we   endeavour   to   live   to   the   glory   of   Him   who   has   scattered   so   many 

blessings in our path。 

     Edward; by his strenuous exertions; has worked surprising reforms in 

his parish; and is esteemed and loved by its inhabitants … as he deserves; 

for whatever his faults may be as a man (and no one is entirely without); I 

defy anybody to blame him as a pastor; a husband; or a father。 

     Our   children;     Edward;     Agnes;    and   little  Mary;   promise     well;  their 

education; for the time being; is chiefly committed to me; and they shall 

want no good thing that a mother's care can give。                Our modest income is 

amply sufficient for our requirements:             and by practising the economy we 

learnt    in   harder    times;   and    never    attempting     to   imitate   our    richer

neighbours;    we   manage   not  only   to  enjoy  comfort   and  contentment 

ourselves; but to have every year something to lay by for our children; and 

something to give to those who need it。 

    And now I think I have said sufficient。
