The reader will find in the course of this work that on the 2nd of August, 1792, from the kindness and humanity of my, august benefactresses, I was compelled to accept a mission to Italy, devised merely to send me from the sanguinary scenes of which they foresaw they and theirs must presently become victims. Early in the following month the Princesse de Lamballe was murdered.

I should not presume even to mention that fatal convulsion which shook all Europe and has since left the nations in that state of agitated undulation which succeeds a tempest upon the ocean, were it not for the opportunity it gives me to declare the bounty of my benefactresses.
It was the work of a young German sculptor, whom the sisters found in somewhat distressing circumstances in Rome, with a sick wife and hampered with debt. Arnim Freiligrath always regarded the dear ladies, as he called them, as his benefactresses, for, strange to say, from that time orders flowed in upon him, and he was soon looked upon as a rising and successful sculptor.

"Cynthia Badlam Fund Hopkins," said the good woman triumphantly, "is that what you mean?" "Suppose we leave out one of the names, four are too many. I think the general opinion will be that Hehninthia should unite the names of her two benefactresses, Cynthia Badlam Hopkins." "Why, law! Mr. Gridley, is n't that nice? Minthy and Cynthy, there ain't but one letter of difference!
In this work women of culture can keep step with Jesus, and become the benefactresses of their sex and blessings to mankind. Let woman help woman, and society will be reformed. Let man be true to woman, and society will be adorned. Of late there have been going round the press pen portraits of Bulwer, Dickens, and Carlyle.

"Always as I eat my food," he answered, "as my benefactresses; but chiefly as the first young girls worthy of love whom I ever knew." So respectful, faithful, and religious a solemnity was in this speech that the countess dared say no more.
