It Has Been Long And Justly Remarked,

To Diminish Expectation Is To Increase Enjoyment.

To Whom, Then, Must I Dedicate My Wonderful, Surprising And Interesting Adventures? To Whom Dare I Reveal My Private Opinion Of My Nearest Relations? The Secret Thoughts Of My Dearest Friends? My Own Hopes, Fears, Reflections And Dislikes? Nobody!

I Am Too Inexperienced And Ignorant To Conduct Myself With Propriety In This Town, Where Every Thing Is New To Me, And Many Things Are Unaccountable And Perplexing.

It Has Been Long And Justly Remarked, That Folly Has Ever Sought Alliance With Beauty.

Money Is The Source Of The Greatest Vice, And That Nation Which Is Most Rich, Is Most Wicked.
