Let us forget my youth and be friendly counselorstogether for the good of the two whom we both love. I must say a wordabout Jasper, and you will not press me to explain more than I canwithout breaking my promise. " "Thank you, thank you! It is regarding that woman, I know. Tell me allyou can; I will not be importunate, but I disliked her the instant I sawher, beautiful and charming as she seems. " "When my cousin and I were in Paris, just before my illness, we met her. She was with her father t...hen, a gay old man who led a life of pleasure, and was no fit guardian for a lovely daughter. She knew our story and, having fascinated both, paused to decide which she would accept: Jasper, for his title, or me, for my fortune. This was before my uncle changedhis will, and I believed myself his heir; but, before she made herchoice, something (don't ask me what, if you please) occurred to send usfrom Paris. On our return voyage we were wrecked, and then came myillness, disinheritance, and helplessness.
