Excerpt from The Trials of Life, Vol. 2 of 2 To whom can I better dedicate my Recollections of Alicia, than to you, my dear Madam, who knew the fair original? time and sorrow had indeed, before you saw her, dimmed the lustre of her matchless beauty; but even then enough remained to excite your admiration, mixed, perhaps, with the charitable regret that the powers of her mind should be so much less striking than the brilliancy of her eye.

I only fear, added her ladyship, he will be for having me and the girls over, and that, much as I wish to be again with him, woud not he at all pleasing to me. You surely would not run such a risk, said Mrs. Vigera, as to take out Georgiana, after the physicians gave you their opinion so strongly on the impropriety of such a measure even if you and Alicia were obliged to go 1.
