121. For my part, I do not know, nor can I form an idea of, a moreunfortunate being than a girl with a mere boarding-school education, andwithout a fortune to enable her to keep a servant, when married. Of what_use_ are her accomplishments? Of what use her music, her drawing, andher romantic epistles? If she be good in _her nature_, the first littlefaint cry of her first baby drives all the tunes and all the landscapesand all the Clarissa Harlowes out of her head for ever. I once saw avery stri...king instance of this sort. It was a climb-over-the-wall match, and I gave the bride away, at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, thepair being as handsome a pair as ever I saw in my life. Beauty, however, though in double quantity, would not pay the baker and butcher; and, after an absence of little better than a year, I found the husband inprison for debt; but I there found also his wife, with her baby, andshe, who had never, before her marriage, known what it was to get waterto wash her own hands, and whose talk was all about music, and the like, was now the cheerful sustainer of her husband, and the most affectionateof mothers.
