MY ONE CLEAN OF ROMANCE.


MY ONE CLEAN OF ROMANCE.
/ am afraid that / am only prosaic
sort of being. Now and then the young
ladies whom 1 meet in society think me
unromantic and perhaps uninteresting.
The gay hues of morning become lost in
that sslight of common day" which be-
longs to the afternoon of life. For me
it is a quiet, cheerful, happy afternoon;
with the music of the voices that / love,
the fragrance of the flowers tend. 1
know, too, that for me the bracing even
ing breezes will rise, and the evening
skies be flushed with immortal hopes.
Once Il had a CLEAN of romance, which
grew, indeed, into a steady radiance;
and plain and prosaic as / am now-and
it is mainly the ordinary episode of
woman's life-I think it perhaps more
romantic than happens to most young
ladies of the period, and hope that they
too, may have a CLEAN equally pro-
pitious. s&+ = 80
We were the six daughters of coun-
try vicar; we lived four miles from the
county town, which was also the cathe-
dral city. We were very happy nest
of girls, save for certain unpropitious
love affairs, which, however, came all
rioht before the end of tbe third volume

first off in the governess world as di
at nineteen, and all because / wa

a year, with laundress and travelling es
penses. SO that I really should not hay
to paw away ANYTHING out of nv salary
In fact the Reverend Jones. who wa
engaged to nv sister Fanny, told m
that I was great deal better off than h
was. When he had paid all his e,
penses he was hardly fifty shillings t
the good. If it had been guineas instea
of shillings he thought he might b
tempted to perpetrate matrimony on th
strength of it.
