The circumstances,an outline of which is given in these pages,happened a very short time ago to a native of North Britain,who left his own country early in life,in consequence of political animosities and an ill-advised connection in marriage.It was some years after that he formed the fatal attachment which is the subject of the following narrative.The whole was transcribed very carefully with his own hand,a little before he set out for the Continent in hopes of benefiting by a change of scene,but he died soon after in the Netherlands--it is supposed,of disappointment preying on a sickly frame and morbid state of mind.It was his wish that what bad been his strongest feeling while living,should be preserved in this shape when he was no more.--It has been suggested to the friend,into whose hands the manu was entrusted,that many things (particularly in the Conversations in the First Part)either childish or redundant,might have been omitted;but a promise was given that not a word should be altered,and the pledge was held sacred.The names and circumstances are so far disguised,it is presumed,as to prevent any consequences resulting from the publication,farther than the amusement or sympathy of the reader.

快穿之听说我只是个女配
穿越局配角部的木莲，向来是个按照流程办事的剧情执行者，因为她的优秀表现，已经把许多同事远远地甩在了身后。所以大家都在说，她已经和工作结了婚……木莲：→_→【上司说干完这票就让她回老家结婚，结果居然是骗人的！！！】第一次发文，文笔尚待提升，前面几个故事都是随意灵感来了就写的，没有怎么整理过。建议大家从“仙姝”看起，但是文笔依旧不怎么好哈。谢谢捧场的亲们！
