Chapter 149 Letter XI Reply to Mr. De Walmart

I have written to Mr. Edward about your affairs.It's a long letter, and there's nothing more I can tell you in a separate letter. You only need to read the letter I wrote to him to understand it all.The reason why I am writing this letter to you is perhaps that I should once again express my sincere feelings to you in person; My former lover is regarded as my sister, and I entrust you with the responsibility of educating my children. After taking your rights, I now entrust mine to you. This is my sincere expression of the respect you deserve.And you, if you think my actions and thoughts are correct, you will be very appreciative of me.I have endeavored to make you proud by the respect I have for you, so do the same for me by your virtues.Besides, there is no need for polite words between us.

I heard that you were frightened by a dream, but I don't think there's anything to be surprised about, and I don't understand why you blame yourself so much for it?I do not think that a dream or two like this is very serious to a decent man. It is the type of your dreams, not their influence, that I would like to blame you for, for a very different reason than you might think.Once upon a time, there was a tyrant who had a man executed because he thought he had assassinated him in a dream.Think of the reasons why the tyrant put to death the dreamer, and do as he says.how!You decide the fate of your friend Edward, and you're still thinking about your old romance!If it hadn't been for the deep talk the night before, I would never have forgiven you for having that dream.During the day, think about the things you will do when you arrive in Rome, so that at night you will think less about the past in Vevey.

Fangsong's illness has kept my wife too busy to write to you.Here's someone willing to do it for you.Happy young man!Everything will be right for you; virtue will reward you, will make you strive for it.As for the reward for my kindness, I entrust no one but you to collect it for me; only you can let me obtain this reward I am looking forward to.
