"Her mamma was the very reverse of yours, and lived just long enough to strengthen the weeds springing in her child's mind, which was the proper business of maternal care to eradicate."

It is very true, my dear. But though I can by no mean acquit Miss Rawlins, yet I must say, that she has an excuse which you could not have pleaded. Her mamma was the very reverse of yours, and lived just long enough to strengthen the weeds springing in her child's mind, which was the proper business of maternal care to eradicate. The unfortunate prejudice, which in common with many other young people, Miss Rawlins took up against a mother-in-law, prevented her listening to the admonitions of hers, which increased her stubbornness to such a pitch, that nothing but the miseries she has endured, could have overcome them.
