" "A veces nos encontrábamos en la cima de una montaña con precipicios a nuestros pies que parecían prontos a tragarnos: era tal su profundidad que nuestra mirada no podía sondearla. Otras, era un pueblecito encantador con sus graciosos chalets y su campanario sobre el cual se balanceaban suavemente algunas nubes resplandecientes de blancura. Más lejos, un vasto lago, dorado por los últimos rayos de sol y cuyas ondas serenas y puras reflejaba el azul del cielo y del fuego del poniente, presentaba a nuestros ojos maravillados el más poético y encantador espectáculo que se pueda imaginar. Al fondo del vasto horizonte se veían las montañas cuyos contornos imprecisos hubieran escapado a nuestra vista si sus cumbres nevadas brillando al sol no hubieran venido a añadir un encanto más al hermoso lago que nos cautivaba.

At this time I chose
as friends two little girls of my own age; but how shallow are the hearts of creatures! One
of them had to stay at home for some months; while she was away I thought about her very
often, and on her return I showed how pleased I was. However, all I got was a glance of indifference — my friendship was not appreciated. I felt this very keenly, and I no longer sought
an affection which had proved so inconstant. Nevertheless I still love my little school friend,
and continue to pray for her, for God has given me a faithful heart, and when once I love,
I love for ever.
My happy disposition completely changed after Mamma's death. I, once so full of life, became timid and retiring, sensitive to an excessive degree. One look was enough to reduce me to tears, and the only way I was content was to be left completely alone. I could not bear the company of strangers and found my joy only within the intimacy of the family.
