Content Description

His heart is breaking at the thought that she slighted him the day before. He thinks Lady Yonge is reponsible, that she must have said more than Charlotte revealed, to the effect that he would be a dead weight, that "a man at six & twenty would never sit down and read". He throws his feelings at her and will write to his father saying how unhappy he is. He cannot stay in the army and is determined to go.
