I almost wish I hadn’t any conscience; its so inconvenient. If I didn’t care about doing right and didn’t feel uncomfortable when doing wrong, I should get on capitally. I can’t help wishing sometimes that Father and Mother hadn’t been so particular about such things. Ah Joe, instead of wishing that, thank God that Father and Mother were particular and pity from your heart those who have no such guardians to hedge them round with principles that may seem like prison walls to impatient youth, but which will prove sure foundations to build character upon in womanhood.
